November 14-Non Stress Test

Smalz and I went to see the doctor today to get a Non Stress Test. This test measures is the baby's heart-rate and weather contractions are ocurring. The heart-rate was normal and there were no contractions detected. Smalz will have another one on Friday and yet another next Tuesday, unless the baby comes out before then.
They also did an ultrasound to check the fluid levels. All of the levels are normal. Pictured above is Smalz hooked up to the NST machine, pictured below is the NST machine. What is crazy is that the due date was Nov 10. We have been waiting for that day since March when we found out that we are going to have a baby. And now that the day has come and gone, it could literally be any moment now, which makes Brick very edgy. Every time Smalz groans, I have to ask a series of questions...
1. Did your water break?
2. Are you going into labor?
3. Are you having back labor?
4. Do you feel contractions?
5. Do we need to time it?
6. Does your back hurt?
7. Mucus plug?
8. Are you hungry?
9. Will there ever be peace in the Middle East?
And so on. I will continue to check in daily from here on in to keep you abreast (I love that word) of any and all B. America news.















The quality of these pictures is not so good because they were taken with my cell-phone, sorry, geez.

It is 2:31 on Nov. 15 and Bol has not updated...could this be because Bol is saying to tara PUSH! Or maybe she had that inducing tea Tanya keeps taking about!!

I will be purchasing the tea on my way home from work today. No pushing...yet.
