Re-Admitted:-/

We had another appointment today for a non-stress test, ultrasound, and vital check. And nothing went well. My blood pressure is still high, Bean failed the non-stress test, and the ultrasound showed that she is still growing, but not as much as she should be.

The good news is that she's moving as she should be, and her breathing reflex is in full swing. She doesn't appear to be in any distress, and we actually got to see her sucking on her hand a little bit:)

So we were re-admitted to the maternity wing and fully plan to stay here until Bean arrives. The resident on rotation will be here for the next 7 weeks, so we'll be seeing some of the same doctors this time around, which is nice. She said that we won't be allowed to go much past 37 weeks, and that we could deliver in days, or weeks. We should be prepared for baby's arrival at any time.Which is scary. But, as soon as it looks like either baby or I is in any kind of danger, they will be inducing labor. We'll probably go next week for a tour of the NICU, so we're familiar there and have the opportunity to meet some of the doctors and nurses there.

I also wanted to share some images from our ultrasound today:

Profile. Tim says she has my nose.

I did get photos from people of the shower last weekend, so I'll hopefully make a post about that tomorrow:)
