Testing, Testing

Being in the hospital is NOT restful, whatsoever. They come in every 4 hours to check my vital signs. This happens throughout the entire day and night--whether I'm trying to sleep or not. In between that, I'm put on the fetal monitor once in the morning and once in the evening. Throughout the day I also get a variety of tests done--a few on me, but really, most are on the baby. They are checking to make sure that the little one is still doing ok and how the amniotic fluid level is holding up. There have been more tests and pokes and prods in these last couple of days than in the first few months of being pregnant.

If nothing else, we kinda enjoy hearing the little one's heartbeat and catching a few bonus glimpses of this new little person.

This has been such a weird, crazy time. We hope for the best, but are anxious after each test, ultrasound, etc. We know that this is all out of our hands. We appreciate all of the prayers.
