NST - #2

So today was the second NST (Non Stress Test). This is the first time Jim did not come along as we decided someone in the family should probably get some work done. The test should take 20 minutes (monitoring their heart beats, my heart beat and looking for contractions). However if the twins do not cooperate it can take a lot longer. Today was a lot longer! It was a little stressful at one point when Baby B (the smaller one on top) kept falling off the monitor. They increased the monitoring to 30 minutes and then they did an additional 10 minutes because they just did not have good readings on Baby B. Baby A stayed on the monitor most of the time but did have one quick abnormal reading. They said that she was being so active she probably hit her own cord. Baby B still did not have good readings so that meant either there was a problem or she was just being very active. So off to an unscheduled ultrasound so that they could watch the babies movements. To make a long story short everything turned out great and all of the problems were because the two girls were wild and moving around like crazy! It was so much fun to watch I hate that Jim missed it. Baby A even had the hiccups - it was exciting and cute. Even the technician was excited to watch the hiccups. We also had some great profile pictures. Normally they are not facing us but today they were. Enjoy the pictures! Next NST on Friday.
