First Non Stress Test

First off, we want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a fun and safe New Year's and are ready for what 2012 has in store.  

Yesterday I went to the first of many Non Stress Test (or NST for short) appointments. It was a fast and smooth appointment. They stapped a couple of bands around my tummy, watched her heart rate and movements, and done! She didn't move too much, but they said since I'm a few days away from 30 weeks, it's ok. I was worried because her heart rate was low, between 119 and about 125. I asked if that was ok, and they said it was fine. (A normal heart rate is usually 140-160) It was different because Kyle wasn't able to go. It is going to be near impossible to find a babysitter 2 times a week, so I will be going to the majority of the NST's alone. It's ok, just different.

We have another NST on Thursday, along with another ultrasound and OB apppointment. I will let you know how that goes!

Also, Sheree has been so wonderful to organize a spaghetti feed for us! See below for the details. I just want to thank her and everyone helping her put this on. We cannot express how greatful we are for such amazing people!

On a sadder note, my Grandma passed away this Sunday. Fortunatly, I am at peace and ok with her passing. She was sick and suffering, and that is no way to live. I have a feeling she will help watch over us and Anabelle and be our gaurdian angel through this. I will miss her, but will never forget her. I love you Grandma!

With love,
