Friday, March 9th
Today was a little bit of nerve racking day. Every time, I have this one tech-- Lisa perform the ultrasound, it comes back off kilter. The s/d ratios were much higher in the 5-6 range. I was very nervous as I sat waiting for the doctor to review the ultrasound that he/she would say, this is the day that you are going to have the baby. Fortunately, that did not happen! The doctor said the s/d ratios were high but the most accurate one was 2.9, so I was in the clear. Sigh of relief.

Then, I went to get my second ultrasound of the day and non-stress test. Baby had a heart deceleration (which is what Rachel had during my labor with her). I was scared that I was, again, going to get bad news. The nurses and doctor who reviewed the non-stress strip said it was most likely from the baby holding onto the umbilical cord and nothing to be worried about.

As for Tuesday's appointments, I don't really remember... but when I have a chance I need to write about my doctor's appointment on Wednesday (he was a Vietnam Vet who turned his combat surgery career into becoming OB-GYN) and I have to write about my falling out with our minister. So sad about that one...

My last thought for the entry is... I had my 3rd glucose test and I do not have gestational diabetes! Thank heavens!
