Today we had our 9th NST (non-stress test).
During the test when I had a strong contraction his heart rate would stoop way down. The nurse and my mother was a little worried about that because a "normal" baby's heart rate should increase when there is a strong contraction.
The nurse who was giving us the test came back in the room right as my mom mentioned his heart rate dropped really low. She told us she was going to show it to our doctor to see what she says. She said she would hate to be the one to take my food away from me (they would admit me if there was not enough water surrounding him and causing him stress).
After about 30-45 min of the non-stress test, we had to go to the bottom floor to AIM to have another "emergency" ultrasound to check the pockets of water. Not enough fluid surrounding the baby could cause stress and the drooping of the heart rate. We had our ultrasound and brought the "results" up to my doctor and nurse. They both looked over the ultrasound results and gave it a "thumbs-up"! Once again, our little boy, was being "stubborn"!
All is good and he is still in there...!
I think we will at least make it to tomorrow, (Friday) so we can have our pregnancy photos (with daddy) done at JcPenny!

I'll be praying for wisdom during this time! You definately don't want baby to be in distress during labor when it begins. I am thankful though, that everything with the ultra sound went well. Hopefully, Obadiah will do well when it really counts!! We want him to be healthy!!

Yay... so glad to hear that all of your ultrasounds have had wonderful results! I hope you and baby continue to stay healthy! We look forward to meeting this new baby soon!
