She keeps us on our toes already!

We had a rough weekend with out little peanut this weekend. From Thursday night to Saturday morning I was having a really hard time getting any (if any) "kick-counts" (Kick-counts are basically tracking fetal movement in an hours time - should have 4 good kicks in an hour). I also was having a lot of pain in my abdomen, it didn't feel like contractions, but it was pretty painful. By Saturday morning we decided to call the doctor.

The doctor had us immediatly go into the hospital to be checked. They hooked me up to the fetal monitor, and monitored her for a good couple of hours. She seemed to be moving, and doing fine, which was an instant relief for us. They did do a ultrasound to measure the fluids, and found a couple things that where contributing to the decreased fetal movement.

If you have too much fluid around the baby or not enough it can cause decreased fetal movement, I have a little excess, but nothing too be worried about, but enough to have it harder for me to feel her kicking around. Also, the found she is still in the breech position, babies start moving down at around 32 weeks - I am only 33, they are confident she will move into position, but because she is growing and in that position right now - is why it's causing the abdomen pain and the decreased movement.

So long story short, everything turned out wonderful, she of course was moving all around on ultrasound, opening and shutting her mouth like she was trying to talk to us! We have decided she just likes lots of attention...wonder where she gets that from?!?!?
This is an ultrasound pic from Saturday - it looks like she is trying to blow us kisses!!! lol
