January 14, 2009 - 26 WEEKS!!!

Well today Cookie gave us our first real scare - and it was not fun! I woke up at 6:30 to nurses in my room ready with an IV kit, changing me into a gown and taking away my water jug and saying no food or drink - just in case. He had had some significant heart rate drops and we were preparing for delivery - I was taken first into ultrasound and he checked out ok - he was still in there kicking around, flow was absent but not reversed, fluid was still ok - so we decided to watch and wait. He had a few more decels throughout the day, but nothing consistent. We said he must have heard all of us celebrating 26 weeks and wanted to shake things up...silly, troublemaker boy. Chris stayed with me all day and we played on computers as we listened intently to his heartbeat...
