A quick update...

Yesterday was my first Non-stress test for Maya. During this test, the Dr's look at Maya's movement and how her heart reacts (like accelerating, decelerating, etc.) After 20 minutes of being hooked up, we determined that Maya was resting and was comfortable- AKA - not MOVING! But, her heartbeat was pretty strong, just keeping at a steady 150 beats per minute. So, in trying to wake her up, the nurses had me turn on my side, etc. Still- moving, but not as much as they wanted to see, AND her heartrate wasn't really changing. They called it a non-reactive stress test...SO- the Dr referred me to Chandler Hospital's Labor & Delivery. Oh what a scary moment, as well as A LOT of memories from what happened to Norah.
We arrived at the hospital, where I was hooked up to more monitors...another Non-stress test that was non-reactive, and then back to the L&D triage section, where I got to lay down, relax, they gave me some crackers and peanut butter, and then Maya moved a whole lot more. Her heart rate was a lot more variable, with some good accelerations, as well as decelerating pretty soon after that.
The next test was a Bio-Physical Profile. This tests for a few things- breathing movements made by the abdomen, amniotic fluid volume, gross body movement including watching the baby make some sort of rolling motion as well as a kick, and then a heart rate. Well, the tech put the sensor on my belly and right away, Maya kicked. She was actually able to identify everything she was looking for the first time she looked for it, which was very reassuring, since the techs have up to 30 minutes to locate. We remembered this test taking ALOT longer with Norah, and although she had scored 8/8, it was all pretty marginal. So, they sent us home, saying that everything looked ok. Also, I'll be followed pretty closely with the twice weekly testing. We are now at 32 weeks, which is still pretty soon to deliver a baby, but we sure thought it might have been last night...
Thanks to all that we talked to and for keeping us in your prayers. We will certainly keep everyone up to date on the progress and of all the tests...
