Fetal Stress Test Completed

Just got out of a visit at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital to make sure everything's OK with mommy and Pookie Cub and that it's fine to continue the pregnancy without inducing yet. As they did on Wednesday they hooked up sensors to monitor baby's heart patterns and mommy's contractions. Baby was very active the whole time and showing healthy patterns. Mom had no contractions. :) So we still have a green light to let the pregnancy continue naturally. Barring any onset of labor the next doc appointment would be on Wednesday morning to do final checks before commencing with induction on Wednesday evening.

Throughout the pregnancy we've always gone to Menlo Clinic for regular check-ins with Shu's OB. Today's visit was our first to the LPCH Labor & Delivery ward where we'll be delivering the baby. So it was nice for us to become familiar with the environment in which we'll soon find ourselves albeit in more excitable dispositions. Our nurse today was most helpful and obliged us with a mini tour of the triaging rooms, the nursery, and a sample delivery room.

Now we're simply relaxing and enjoying what is certainly our last Saturday of Life As We Know It!

With much appreciation for your continued support and prayers for our amazing adventure!

Love and hugs,
Paul & Shu
