The Goode's Baby Adventure

We had another follow up with Dr. Pittard yesterday and everything seems to be going along smoothly. I measured in at 36cm and Eva's heart rate was 135 while in his office. We began the NST testing and will have to go in for that twice a week at the Family Care Unit. (where Eva will be born) Everyone is super nice in there but they can never locate me in the computer system, this has been going on for over a year now so we are used to it. We actually went and spoke with the lady in charge of the computer systems at the hospital and she routed our case to Texas where they should be able to finally take care of it. Fingers crossed for that because Shawn and I are both tired of people saying, "Have you been seen here before?"

As far as the NST testing, they just strap me in and monitor mine and Eva's vitals for about 20 minutes or so. They want to make sure my blood pressure and everything stays stable and that Eva has the normal increases and decreases with her heart rate and that she is moving around well. The nurses gave me 2 cans of juice yesterday to get my blood-sugar up and get Eva going. (Apparently she isn't the most cooperative little girl)  :)

Shawn and I have been doing lots of walking and cleaning trying to get me going into labor, but no such luck yet.  I have had a lot of pretty strong contractions and cramping but nothing regular yet. We are hoping she will decide to come on her own in the next 18 days but if not we will meet our baby soon enough.

We hope that everyone has been doing well and that you are all ready to welcome Spring!!! I know that we are!!! Lots of love until next time. :)
