Non-Stress Test

This morning, i had another NST. I was hopeful some good news would come from it since I was feeling crampy this morning. It was the same nurse that helped deliver Katarina, so it was nice to talk to her. She remembered me completely and made me feel special since she remembered details of my childbirth from 2+ years ago!

She hooked me up to the monitor. Baby S 2.0 barely moved at all the entire time. BUT, the good news is that I am having contractions that are 2-3 minutes apart! The nurse thinks that things are looking good for me to be coming in prior to the induction time. That was nice to hear. There are steady contractions going, she did a very rough internal, and a full moon is around the corner. All those combos and she said maybe even tomorrow. I'm not going to get my hopes too up, but Nick is also doing acupuncture so here's hoping that it all works!

Speaking of acupuncture, I really wish I could describe what happens. When I say that the baby is barely moving these days, I'm not exaggerating. More than once I have worried that something is wrong. But, when I sit down for acupuncture and Nick sticks the needles in me, I can't be comfortable anymore because the baby gets all worked up. I am so uncomfortable with the large movements. I feel like the baby is trying to punch it's way out of my stomach or something! And then the needles come out and he/she is back to being nice and calm. It's really strange.

Well, think good things and hope this baby plans on coming out soon!
