So today Baby Bird apparently thought we needed to check out the Labor & Delivery wing of our hospital so we would be ready for the big day. Last night I noticed that I had not felt movement all day which was unusual. I drank cold water and juice and then laid down which usually gets him moving but had no luck. I figured he might just be sleeping (I had been very busy that day) and so I went to sleep early myself. Well this morning I still didn't feel any movement and I always feel him move in the morning. So after an hour or so I called my OB office and spoke to the on call OB who told me to come in to L&D right away. Of course this made Jasper and I very worried so we rushed over.
Even though we aren't scheduled to take a tour of the hospital until this Thursday we were able to find our way pretty easily and were admitted right away. The nurse performed a non-stress test and soon Baby Bird was moving for us. He apparently didn't like the monitor much because he would kick the monitor and then move away from it. I lost count of how many times the nurse had to re-position the monitor.
We were released by lunch time and told to continue our kick counts nightly and call if we stop having movement again. I am so relieved that everything is ok and there was nothing serious. I think Baby Bird just wanted us prepared for when he is ready to make his big appearance. At least we got our own private tour of the L&D wing and are now pre-registered!
