Checkin' up on Baby B

At my last OB appointment, my uterus was measuring about 4 weeks small so I got scheduled for another ultra sound to check measurements & fluid. My mom took me in today (Ryan's up north hunting) to get that done. He's looking fine now & he has enough fluid in there to keep him safe. But apparently he must of stopped growing for a few weeks, which is really scary, but the tech said that that happens sometimes. But luckily, he is measuring a little more accurate now. I'm 32 weeks & according to the U/S, he's measuring about 30. Which isn't a huge deal, he could just be a smaller baby. But just to make sure the fluid levels aren't going down, I have to go in to the Maternal & Fetal Medicine office every week to get Non-Stress Tests (NST). What they will do there, is do kind of a mini-ultra sound, where they just measure the amount of fluid in there to make sure there's enough, and also put 2 monitors on my belly. 1 is to monitor his heart, & the other is to monitor contractions & movements. Ohhh, this should be great fun ;) haha
