Oh my lord, it is just one of those days, isn't it??!!
I am just back from the hospital after being hooked up to the fetal monitor for an hour. The short version of the story is - all is well!
Spud was uncharacteristically quiet all yesterday and then refused to wake up when i went for my 4am pee (his usual cue for a break dance). So, i had two big glasses of lemonade, something to eat, played rock music to the bump and...nothing, we sat up for nearly an hour. On the verge of tears we crawled back in to bed hoping that the peace might help him and we got a tiny weeny kick...
This morning wasn't much better... Too quiet, not normal. Today is a bank hol in Barbados so i called the hopsital where i'll deliver and asked to speak to the midwife. She called me in and within 15 minutes of hearing Spud's heartbeat he finally started to kick. We even got some nice big kicks again, which made me feel better.
Cor, i am exhausted and i have sooooo much to do as we are flying tomorrow... Can i have a clone of me to come deal with my 'to-do list' please???
So glad to hear that all of us have good trips to hospital today!! let's hope these babies start behaving and causing us less stress
Jeez, has a woman ever been in more dire need of a nice G&T??
