Thanks to each of you who prayed and left encouragement in my last post. I was quite worried, irritated, and angry after yesterday’s appointment. Like many of you, my husband pointed out that if Mr. Baby looked truly bad, they would have magically found a bed for me. I took a lot of comfort in that thought, and in all of your wise words and support.
I am home from today’s visit to L&D. It seemed quiet, even though a nurse promised it was just as busy as yesterday. I was picturing women draped over every surface, laboring under desks and in cabinets, newborns wearing little hats fashioned from yesterday’s newspaper because the supply dried up. Nope.
I was led to an actual L&D room this time, instead of the triage closet. Room #4, right next door to #3 where Boo-Boo was born seven years and two days ago. I was gowned, vital’d, braceleted, and hooked up. Mr. Baby was being quite wild for a change, so his strip looked fantastic. I don’t know what got in to him, other than Divine Inspiration to express himself through Snoopy dancing on my diaphragm, but he passed with flying colors. They didn’t recheck my fluid, but the NST was reassuring enough.
We were free to go about our business.
I go back this Monday for an ultrasound and NST. Please keep us on your prayer lists. He still has more baking to do in there. It would be nice if we can make it another two weeks, my doctor said. I agree.
I am not ready, but that is a whole other post.
Whew! Good news, good news. I will keep you in my prayers for certain. Sounds like you might have a little actor on your hands.

Tee hee, when you mentioned how full L&D was yesterday, I was picturing a similar scene.
I’m glad things are looking good, and will certainly continue to pray. Hang in there, Gretchen, and keep on moving, little guy!

So glad he woke up for the doctors! I haven’t kept careful track, I’m not sure how many weeks along you are. I’ll keep praying that he’ll wait for the new year to make his entrance!

Oh, I am so glad! Yippie! Now, I feel like dancing like snoopy! 😀

Just read both yesterday’s post and this–so glad that things are looking better for Mr. Baby, and that your mind and spirit are eased. I don’t understand why God puts us through these trials other than to make us cling to Him, which is what we all will do, interceding for you.

Oh good! Good, good, good. I’ve been thinking about you all day.
I wonder if this Mr. Baby might be a wee bit of a trickster. Seems like he might be sort of into scaring Mommy a little bit. You’re gonna have to keep your eyes on this one all the time, I think.
(Oh, and the image of women laboring under desks and in cabinets really got me to giggling!)

And are you ever really ready?!

Oh good. I think it is so irritating that you needed to go to the hosp for a NST. Ah well.
My doc says this baby is still head down (via a VERY uncomfortable internal exam) but I am convinced he is head UP. Phooey. Two more weeks for me.

So thankful for the good news.
Ready is overrated. He’ll come, no doubt, when HE is ready.
But I agree, you’ll have to keep a close eye on this trickster!
God Bless!
Happy dance!!!

Will certainly be thinking of you all. I’m glad to hear that all is well (and to be able to read the final result before the the post about the cause for concern – although I’m sorry to be late on this due to my lack of blog reading…). Keep drinking. Keep resting. Keep baking, baby.
