Where did you leave it?

Hallie lost her mucuous plug. Just up and lost it the other night. "Where did you leave it?" I keep asking her.
Honestly.

There's lots of other news, too. We had another biophyysical profile on Tuesday morning. Hallie munched a few Skittles in the waiting room to get that baby movin' and WHOOO DOGGIES! The sugar rush had the baby doing heaadspins and waving her arms all around. It was fun to watch. All the measurements seemed good, but we found that the amniotic fluid volume had dropped. We were sure to point this out to Natalie a few moments later when we saw her.

Of course the nurses alreay knew that things were changing & moving along for Hallie because of the flakes of blood in her urine. Everybody was excited and asked Hallie if she was feeling any contractions. She wasn't. Her cervix is 1cm dilated and about 50% effaced. These are all great signs that things are moving along, and with any luck we won't have to induce her- although they are finding protein in her urine, so her PIH is still a problem. It's too bad she can't walk around and let gravity help this baby out.

So we're still waiting- she's at 38 weeks & it's not going to be long now!
