Non-Stress Tests

2 out of 14 NSTs done!

Wow! how am I going to drive all the way to Fontana twice a week for NSTs?!? I've had a hard time getting there twice already, I wish they'd give me the equipment to take home, hey I should ask! Anyway, a NST is when they strap you to a contraction and baby heart monitor and they basically monitor the baby's movements and heart and make sure everything is going great. I also get a short ultrasound to check my fluid levels and the nurse usually gives me a short glimpse of Nate. Today was hilarious! Nate wasn't moving cause he was totally knocked out so here comes the nurse with a buzzer and she zaps my belly and the baby started moving like crazy. OMG! it was so funny how she came at me with that thing, she says, "he's head down right?" and I say yes and she just comes at my bottom belly (LOL) and BBzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, I just jumped up, both the baby and I.

So far so good with the NSTs, I guess its all worth it cause they can catch any distress on the baby and can move quickly from there. So that brings me to 2 down and 14 to go. Ok I better get the kids stuff ready, we're going to the drive in!
