Foggy Morning

This morning Josh and I headed out for our first NST (non stress test) with the specialist. We walked outside to FOG. Just walking outside the house we could hardly see the neighbors homes. It was beautiful and scary at the same time. Not many people felt the need to use their headlights.

600 S. getting ready to turn into the parking lot

We were there for almost an hour getting set up and having the test explained to us. We got to see Ellie for a quick minute as the tech measured the fluid around her. Then I got hooked up to the monitors. One monitored Ellie heart rate and the other monitored my uterus. Ellie was very active and kicked and pushed the whole time. Josh loved every time she would kick her monitor and there was a loud thud. The tech explained that I should eat before coming in hopes to ensure a active baby. She showed me her device that she would use if Ellie were to be not active enough. It was a little vibrator. She touched it to my hand for me to feel. I thought to myself, "that isn't strong enough to get any reaction our anybody." Then she touch it to Ellie's back and Ellie jump so hard inside my belly, kicking the monitor and making Josh laugh. Everything went well, I had one tiny little contraction, but not enough to worry about and Ellie is doing just fine.
