39 weeks 4 days

Yesterday morning we had another NST (non-stress test). I was completely prepared. Had bags packed for Roman, hospital bag in the car for me, Spencer was with me...so of course, nothing happened.

First thing they did was weighed me. I forgot to mention on Wednesday I have now kept a consistent weight for the last 3 weeks. Haven't lost a pound, haven't gained a pound. (The funniest was the Wednesday after the 4th of July and the doctor asked if I had been eating okay. I told him it was the 4th of July I had eaten PLENTY!) Then they took my blood pressure. On Wednesday it was 120/70. Yesterday it was 140/80. So it was a little high.

The nurse then took us back to a room and thankfully NO problems getting things set up. We started the test and after the first 10 minutes the nurse came in, everything was reading fine so she said the doctor would come look at things in another 10 minutes. About 10 minutes later the nurse popped her head back in and said that when the doctor was finished with the patient he was with he would be in. So we waited another 10 minutes.

When the doctor came in he said that everything looked really good, asked how I was feeling and talked to us about what we would do next. I told him that I haven't been sleeping very well because I have just been so nervous because this little wiggly boy who used to move all the time just doesn't move much anymore. I know, I know, he doesn't have room to move anymore, but it's hard not to worry when you don't know what's going on in there. My doctor explained that if he thought there was even a tiny problem he would have not hesitate to deliver him. The other problem is that the hospital will not allow them to induce until you are a week late unless there is a problem.
