In fact, it was a bit too relaxing. Baby's heart rate was rather low because she was sleeping. They want to see two peaks in heart rate and hers just stayed the same. We tried nudging her around a bit but nothing. So, they brought in this little instrument that would make sound into the fluid surrounding her. It's the same thing a person who's had a tracheotomy uses to speak. Guess the babies don't like it. This one was no exception! Her little heart rate went right up how they wanted. She settled back down until I sneezed and caused her second rise in heart rate! Just in time before we were done.
Next we went for our ultrasound. We couldn't have asked for better news. Baby is no longer breech but upside down how she needs to be. (Of course, she was sideways while I was being monitored so she's definitely on the move all the time.) And, there had been an issue with my placenta being a little bit low which could have meant problems during delivery and a possible c-section. But, the placenta has moved up as we hoped... and once it moves up it won't be in the way again! Yeah!!
During the ultrasound I said something about 4D pictures and how I wished I could get some. The technician said they had 4D and, the next thing I know, there is my beautiful little girl on the screen, clear and in color! (They didn't have a color printer so I got black and white prints.) It made her arrival seem so real and made me even more excited.
She was moving so much it was difficult to get a picture. And her hand was in front of her face much of the time but you can definitely see her cute little face!
