Bailey was being stinker today for our appointment. We have to do non stress test every week and she refused to stay put with the Doppler on her. They spent 20 minutes chasing her around with no luck. We had to return after lunch for a Biophysical Profile (BPP). This is an ultrasound based test where they have to observe her practicing breathing for 30 seconds and she has to move 3 times within 30 minutes. For this test she was sleeping and refused to move. (She has her Daddy's stubbornness LOL) She was practicing breathing the whole time but wouldn't move. If she fails to complete the test in 30 minutes we have to go to labor and delivery for overnight observation. My little girl finally decided to move with only 30 seconds left on the timer. :P
Good news is that all looks well today. She has a good heartbeat and is moving as she should. She is still breach but we don't expect that to change. We had to do some blood test as there is concern about my liver function, but nobody seems really concerned at this point.
Really cool point of today though was that I could see her hair on the regular ultrasound. We saw it on the 3D ultrasound back at 20 weeks but for her to have enough to show up on regular ultrasound seemed really cool to me. And while we were watching for her to move she tented her index fingers to her chin just like her Daddy does.
Sounds like you had an amazing day! And it's incredible that she's showing her personality and family quirks already. Such a beautiful kiddo 💖💖💖

DeleteThank you. It was a good day :) She had us at the docs for over 4 hours but it was worth it to see her and know she is still OK and to get to watch her for 30 minutes on ultrasound. I love that we get to see some of her habits already. She sleeps in the same position that I do and appears to suck her thumb in the same way I did, she has her Daddy's facial profile and temperament (I think anyways, he says its my shyness and stubbornness lol) and the finger tenting OMG made my day...
ReplyDeleteI love reading your chronicles of Bailey's progress. It helps since we're not getting to talk or see each other as much as we'd like. I think of you often and am so glad Violet told me she's keeping up with you...and then I found your blog.. Love you all.
