Quick doctor visit

I have become a paranoid mommy. If you read my post yesterday, you saw that I've been worried about Noah's decreased movement. Today was more of the same. He hadn't moved all morning. At around 10:30am, I asked April's opinion on the matter....I pressed here and there on my belly and finally after about five minutes of poking, he finally moved a little bit but that was it. April called her friend that works in L&D and she said to call my doctor. I did and they of course wanted to see me right away.

The nurse immediately found Noah's heartbeat and said it was normal. Then they hooked me up to a monitor to do a non-stress test.


Noah HATES being pressed on. So everytime the nurse would find his heartbeat, she would strap the lower belt on tight and he would move away from it. April and I waited and waited and waited....

This was my view:


They eventually got enough information from the non-stress test and said everything looked fine from it. Then my doctor did a quick ultrasound to make sure everything looked ok. As it turns out, Noah is sitting upright with his head at the top of my belly and his hiney pointing down BUT his feet are up by his head! So I'm not feeling him kick that much because he can't kick with his feet up by his head. So everything is just fine, I just have a stubborn flexible baby!

The good news is........I lost ONE POUND!!! YAY ME!!!! I was so excited! Not having an appetite for a week was a good thing for me! I am still going back to the doctor Wednesday for my 4D ultrasound but I don't have to see my doctor again then unless I just want to.

Check back tomorrow (hopefully!) for pictures from my second baby shower!
