So it could mean something significant, but it's more likely to not mean anything at all.  I had what's called a "non-stress test" today because I'm a few days past due (due date was November 2nd) and basically baby was very sleepy and not moving around enough for them to feel comfortable about its well being.

Standard protocal is to require telling the mother to go to the hospital for a more in-depth observation, usually lasting a minimum of four hours.  I've already had to do this once and honestly felt bored out of my skull because I kind of knew baby was fine (I had fallen down a few stairs and landed on my ass).  After spending almost 6 hours at the hospital a few weeks ago lying on a bed, not able to really move around, and watching crappy tv, I am NOT looking forward to this upcoming stint.

That being said, it's just as likely that we'll be home by midnight as they will say "nope, you need to get this kid out, and sorry we're not going to let you do it naturally."  Ky and I are very excitaed to meet our baby and so this could be a great thing, but the likelihood that they'll want to induce me (which is more painful, longer, and harder on the baby than natural labor) and even do a c-section is much higher, so boo to that.

Anyways, just wanted to give a more in-depth heads up and we will keep you posted!

This is an  ultrasound picture of our "Beanie". We believe Beanie is a girl. We get to see Beanie again on Nov 5!!
