So LL let me down again this morning and I failed my NST. The nurse was sooo sad to deliver the news---she said that procedure is making her schedule the urgent u/s but that probably everything would be okay. Her heartrate dropped 4 times over the course of 30 minutes so it was inevitable that I would be going in for another BPP. (Biophysical Profile)
The only issue was that they were booked AGAIN so I had to wait 2 hours to get in. Again, I had to go to the hospital and not my OB office, but this time the radiologist was VERY awesome and even printed out more pictures. Poor LL, she is sooo head down and smushed against me that her face did not show in any pictures---so I got a nice "foot" photo! Her foot measures about 2.75" already! Can you believe that that is JUST her foot? No wonder why I feel like I have no room!
The radiologist also said "Whoa--looks like a lot of hair!" Our last u/s tech said that too---I am afraid she's going to need a hair cut after she is born. I talked to John and he didn't have ANY hair at birth and I had just a tiny little bit. Who knows where this is coming from. The tech did say that if hair shows up on the u/s it is usually dark and a lot.
I think LL is playing with her umbilical cord too much--when she rolls on it or moves it around the h/r falls but then goes back up again. They told me the cord is right in front of her--not around her neck or anything but that when she "plays with it" it causes the drop in heart rate.
So, today is our last day of 90+ weather. Tomorrow we will be in the low to mid 70's and I cannot WAIT! It has been a hot couple of days. I can't wait until I can wear jeans and sweaters!
