Doctors Appt update!!

Chris and I went to the doctor yesterday (I was 36 week 5 days). I had a NST (they put me on the monitor) when I first got there. I got a little worried because the nurses kept coming in to check the strip and had me turn on my left side, drink juice and just plain seemed concerned. I asked what was going on and they said the baby was "acting up". They never said for sure but from what I could remember from my OB classes in nursing school, it looked like maybe his heartrate was a little low and they wanted more variablity (heart rate to fluctuate more). I was contracting quite frequently but they weren't too concerned about that. They kept me on the monitor for about 45 minutes then I had to wait to see Dr. H. He really didn't say much about the babies heartrate, but he did notice all the contractions. He checked my cervix and said his head was still really low, but I was not dilated yet. He wanted to write me out of work but we agreed he would write for 6 hrs a day for the next week, with the understanding that I will have good days and bad days with the pressure on my pelvis and if it's a bad day I may not be able to work but couple of hours. So, for now (at least the next week), I'm ok and baby is ok. I really want to make it to my C-section date. We have everything all planned out. The baby has slowed down with all the crazy acrobatics he had been doing. My guess is he's running out of room!!!! So, until next week...keep me and Meyer in your prayers!!!
