Friday nights have turned into date night for us, which includes grabbing some food and heading over to the hospital. Because of the gestational diabetes, we have to do non-stress tests at the hospital every week. It is mostly just a precaution since having gestational diabetes puts me and the baby at a little higher risk. They hook me up to two monitors which follow the baby's heart beat and my contractions. The idea is that if everything is okay, the baby's heart rate will spike with a contraction and then go back down. So far everything has looked good.
This week was the third time we've done it so far and we will keep doing them until the baby is born. So if you are ever looking for Adam and I on a Friday night, you know where we'll be.
