It was down-hill... or should I say, down-stairs... Sunday night. My off-balance, pregnant body struggled with the last 4 stairs, and decided to go down them butt-first. With a huge bruise on my booty (not to mention my ego) and a cut on my hand, I went to the doctor today. They did a bio-profile test on Ryleigh to make sure she is okay. We did about 30 mins of non-stress monitoring and then an ultrasound. They were looking for her heart-rate, breathing patterns, movement patterns and circulation within the heart. She passed her test with flying colors - 8/8, 100%! I'm so proud!
She kicked the mess out of the non-stress test sensors... Maybe she was dancing to the sound of her heartbeat? The ultrasound technician was SO nice to us. She spent extra time letting us watch our baby girl. She first confirmed for us that Ryleigh is in-deed female! She also showed us that she is head-down, and so close to the front of my uterus that we were able to watch her cutie-patootie face as she sucked her fingers, swallowed and practiced her breathing. A couple times, she opened her mouth stuck her tongue out, followed quickly by popping her hand in her mouth. What can I say but "very cool!" She was a squirmy girl and wouldn't sit still the whole time! It was amazing to watch!
Here are the pictures we got to go home with...
