Appointment #16: "Nonstress" Test My Ass!

That was the most stressful doctor's appointment to date. I knew to prepare myself to pick an induction date at or around a week from now. I was not prepared for that stupid nonstress test. I drank a soda and ate before going in there because she usually responds to food. No dice. The minute I got strapped up to that sucker she went to sleep. Then my doctor says, "this is no good. I need a dependable reading or we'll have to send you over to the hospital to be induced today." YIKES! So I poked that baby like she's never been poked before. If she is born tomorrow, she will have bruises and be taken away from me. I swear.

Anyway, everything is fine. We ended up with a good reading, there's lots of fluid, etc. Now the baby won't stop moving. I dropped The Husband off back at work and then threw myself a frozen yogurt pity party at Baskin-Robbins.

My doctor is not on-call this weekend, figures. She's been working for a month straight so I guess she deserves two days off with her family. I haven't met the other OBGYN in the practice but I've heard good things.

Rhetorical Question: Do our tenant's believe that we don't know that her brother has moved in with them which is in direct violation of their lease? Not to mention CROWDED! We're ignoring it ... for now.
