33 Weeks: Ultrasound & NST

Baby Girl wasn't cooperating during her Ultrasound today, so we were sent to my OB-GYN for additional monitoring via a Non-Stress Test (they hook you up to two monitors- one that monitors the baby's heartrate and the other that monitors you for contractions).  The NST is to make sure she isn't stressed out when she moves, when I move, when I have a contraction, etc.  Kenney was stuck at home teaching a virtual class, so he was a little worried as I was sending him updates, but at least I was able to keep him up to date and she passed all the tests so we were sent home.  Regular NSTs start next week (just one) and then the following week will start two NSTs a week until delivery.  Next ultrasound is scheduled for 9/19!

A clip of baby girl's heart rate- the number on the left is her heart rate and the number on the right is monitoring me for contractions- I did have one contraction while they were monitoring.

All hooked up to the monitors

 Monitoring going on!

I told Kenney that I'm not sure whose nose she has in this profile shot, but it looks HUGE!


Here's a front of face shot (if you can see it)- they said she was smiling, but if she is, she definitely has the "Hatcher smile" where you can't tell. :)

And, the 33 week foot shot- this girl loves her feet!
