I went in for my second Non-Stress Test this morning. The baby is very stubborn, I could feel him moving around in the waiting room, but as soon as they hooked us up to the monitors, he decided to take a nap or something. They need to see the baby move before they will let us go home. So the nurse brought me a cup of coke and we waited. Still sleeping. After about half hour, I got another cup of coke and the dr. shook my belly. Finally he woke up and all was good! I'm glad b/c we would have had to go to the hospital for a Stress test if he didn't (I'm not entirely sure what that is but it sounds like less fun). I had a contraction monitor on too and it was kind of fun to see them all. Pretty much at exactly 6 min apart. Too bad that seems to mean nothing for me - they've been that way for 12 hours now. And we've had several other similar times that end with nothing.
So the plan is to show up Monday night for the first half of the induction and the dr. will decide Tues morning how to proceed (just break my water or go w/ the pitocin). Either way, it is looking like his birthday will be the 11th. I'm optimistic that it could be sooner but trying not to get my hopes up since that makes me a little crazy.
