32 week bump picture!!!

WoooHoo!! 32 weeks!

Throughout pregnancy I've liked to think of mini-milestones...my big one was 32 weeks! -- and here we are!.

My next big milestone is 36 weeks...so four weeks!. After 36 weeks there is a very good chance the boys wouldn't have to spend ANY time in the NICU...and that is something to pray and look forward to!

Also, today I go in for the first non-stress test. Starting today I go in twice a week until the boys arrive!

Here is some info on this test from Babycenter.com

What is a nonstress test?

This simple, painless procedure is done during pregnancy to evaluate your baby's condition. During the test, your healthcare practitioner or a technician monitors your baby's heartbeat, first while the baby is resting and then while he's moving. Just as your heart beats faster when you're active, your baby's heart rate should go up while he's moving or kicking.

What do the results mean?

If your baby's heart beats faster (at least 15 beats per minute over his resting rate) while he's moving for at least 15 seconds on two separate occasions during a 20-minute span, the result is normal, or "reactive." A normal result means that your baby is probably doing fine for now.


...And since I am particularly happy today I thought I would try to squeeze my happy face into the camera (not that easy since I take these from the computer!)



Hope everyone is having a great Thursday!!!
