we've got a stinker on our hands!!

{thursday, december 2, 2010 ~ 34 weeks}

he passed! he passed! the non-stress test of course...we went in for round two this morning and got hooked up to the monitor. our nurse, deb, was shocked at how low he was sitting...she said he's positioned more like a 36-37 week term baby...yikes! but we started to hear his sweet little heartbeat and halfway through the little bugger turned his back to the doppler and the nurse so we couldn't hear his heartbeat. then, we established the base of his heart rate which was right around 140...the acceleration number they wanted to see would have to be at 155 for at least thirty seconds. this stinker would get up to 152-153 and then stop - he sure was messing with us and making that nurse work!!

baby gave the nurse, scott and i a good laugh this morning...luckily, right towards the end of our 20 minutes he accelerated and the nurse came back in saying he had passed - BARELY.


way to go little stinker!! i love your little mischievous personality...
