OB appt. & BPP

On Tuesday (the 28th) we had an OB appt with Dr. Lopez and she told us that at the last BPP we had that Dr. O'Hara was a little concerned about the baby's stomach bubble, that it looked a little larger than normal and that the baby's size was in the 15th percentile (which is lower than we would like to see). The stomach issue seemed minor and was something they were going to keep their eye on...the bigger issue was his growth, or lack there of actually.

Today we had a BPP and the baby was moving around a lot which was good because it seems like he has been sleeping or resting during the sonogram. He was kicking the technician's wand during the test. There was an issue with the amniotic fluid, it was a little low so they had us go back and do a non-stress test. During the test the baby was moving all around and kicking the fetal monitor (he is like his mom, he doesn't like tight things on him). He then got the hiccups, which was good for me to hear and feel because I had felt those for a while but wasn't sure if it was hiccups or what was going on in there. :) I also had a contraction during the test which was a weird and scary feeling, but totally normal the nurse said. After about 20 minutes the nurse came in and took me off the machine. She gave the readings to Dr. O'Hara and we heard her say, "What a good boy!!". Then the nurse came back in and said that he did a great job with how active he was being during the test.

For now we are continuing with our weekly BPP's unless we hear back from the doctor. It looks like it won't be long now before we deliver him so please keep up those prayers that he will arrive safe and sound!!
