Getting out

After 3 days of being still and quiet, decided we all needed some fresh air.
Headed out to the river with the boys.









I was just finding a cozy spot on the ground when I turned and saw, about 8 inches away....




I may be 37 weeks pregnant but this momma proved I can still get up and move if I need to
It was good to see B up and moving again. Not really talking much, but at least being active.

The end result when we left, given J had fallen in several times


Maybe it is just my imagination, but B's voice seems to not be as 'nasally' as it has been and it is weird to see him with his mouth closed. He has always had his mouth open, since he was a mouth breather but I do believe he has much better airflow through his nose now.
As for me, I guess the Doc is wanting to keep a little closer tabs on the baby. She called Friday afternoon and wanted me to come in 2 times next week for a non-stress test and biophysical ultrasound. Basically, two tools they use to make sure the baby is not under any stress while in the womb. The ultrasound is pretty cool because the first thing they check for is the moving diaphram. Babies don't breathe in the womb, but 'practice' breathing and the tech said if the 'environment' in the womb starts going or the baby gets stressed, the practice breathing is usually the first to go. So far everything has appeared fine but I guess the doc is taking the conservative approach. All of this 'extra' testing got started because I mentioned that the baby does not seem to be moving a whole lot, but then again, I never felt the other two as much as would be normal either. Oh well, either way, only 2 more weeks, at best of the waiting game (yes, the envelope is still sealed!)
