putting the kid to the test

Hols hasn't been feeling well for the past few days. Nausea and overall discomfort are keeping her from eating and drinking fluids in confidence that she'll be able to keep them down. The baby hasn't been quite as active recently either, so, we consulted the doctor, and she scheduled a non-stress test to make sure he was okay.

The monitor shows the baby's movement (based on heart rate) on the top graph, and Holly's contractions are tracked on the bottom graph. We were able to hear his heart beat and activity in the womb for the duration of the test. Holly was very encouraged to feel that much closer to him by hearing him in addition to feeling him.

The test results showed that he's quite active and responsive. He's just chilling until his time comes. :) Holly thinks he comes tomorrow. We'll see!
