mommy is NOT happy. dr appt this am - i'm okay, etc. etc. etc. mommy's okay too she's just frustrated. bp was okay but due to the events of last friday the dr said she gets to do another 24 test (yay - not!), more bloodwork, and move the NSTs to 2x wk instead of just once. oh, and the Grp B Strep test came back positive so she HAS to go to the hospital as soon as her water breaks and she can't stay at home for a while (unless we go into labor and her water doesn't break right away) bc they HAVE to do IV antibiotics dosed during labor (but she doesn't have to be on the IV the whole time just for the antibiotics) and there is no discussion on that point. oh well. oh and the back-up dr is already booked solid for the next month plus so we get to see the back-up back-up dr till our dr comes back.....if we make it that far, LOL!
next nst fri. next appt mon. will update more later or after test/appt whichever i feel like first.

nst update from mommy
while kayleigh sleeps...lol.
so went in yesterday for the weekly nst - and for whatever reason her hr was a little too high (they like bt 110 and 160 - her baseline was around 170 with spikes up to 185) so they left us on the monitor for an hour, then did a biophysical profile. her hr did start to come down a little bit but was still baseline around 165-170ish. BPP (u/s to check baby and bloodflow) was normal but since her hr was up they sent us down to triage for more monitoring and to see if they could figure out why (triage @ WBH is like a small ER for maternity or female stuff only). by the time they got us on the monitor down there her hr was down to a baseline of 155-160ish but now she wasn't moving as much as they wanted to see.....
SO.... they left us on the monitor for about 3 hrs till she started moving a little more - did labs (all normal, no pre-e yet, no infection causing her hr to be up) and were starting to talk about admitting us for observation and possibly induction (depending on what they found) but when she started moving around more, since the labs were all okay, they sent us home.
they did say that now i'll prly end up doing nst's 2x wk (at least have to do 2 this wk after that is up to my drs) and will have even more close monitoring till she comes.....but for now she's staying put.
other than that i think thats it.....till mon when i can call and get that other nst scheduled and then drs appt tues am.....

36 wks....
36 wks today....measured 36 wks, dr says i dropped a bit, mommy says she can tell....lol! mommy's bp is okay (132/84) and only trace proteins so no issues there. other than that all is well for another week.....NST on fri then next dr appt next tues - different dr though since my dr is going on vacation for a couple weeks - she and mommy said i'm not allowed to come until AFTER the 20th of this month. i'll try to behave myself till then.....
oh and mommy isn't any more dilated than she was a couple wks ago at the hospital but she's about 25% effaced - for anybody who cares.....

NST
NST yesterday - went okay except the tech used the buzzer to wake me up so i would move.....scared me so bad my HR went from 150 to 190! and daddy was beyond mad....he says he's telling the dr on tues that if they try to do it again we aren't doing any more of those tests.....
other than that things are going pretty well.....mom got the car seat installed but it needs tightened/checked a little more at the police station so she'll prly do that in the next couple days....plus pack our bag for the hospital, since who knows when i'll decide to show up? LOL!
