A little scare with Whitney

This morning, my nurse came in to do my daily monitoring for contractions and the babies heartbeats. Normally we monitor the babies heartbeats for 20 minutes, today, they searched for Whitney's heartbeat for over an hour and still could not find it. Granted she is almost always the most difficult to find, but they are usually able to find it within 10 or 20 minutes. My nurse brought in 2 other nurses, which happens sometimes, but they were still unable to find it. They decided to stop searching because all that pressing on my uterus causes contractions. They paged my doctor (well, not my OB, but the one on call) and she ordered for the radiology department to come do a sonogram. They weren't able to get anybody on the phone to come up and we were worried and growing impatient, so Craig called my perinatalogist, Dr. Koster to see if she could come and do a sonogram for us. She was on her way up here and would be here shortly. In the meantime, the nurses came back in with a 4th nurse to try monitoring again. This time, they found Whitney on the other side of my belly. They have never found her on that side so it was surprising to find her there. All the babies were on the right side of my belly and we couldn't believe my belly wasn't bulging on one side from all the babies on one side. It was such a relief to finally find her and know that she was okay. BTW, we did not have a sonogram because they were able to find her.

On another note, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Happy New Year to you! I hope you all have a nice and safe New Year! Have fun bringing in the new year with your family and friends. Me, Craig, Tyler, Hannah, Whitney and Lacy will be celebrating the new year a couple of hours early. :) We will all be sound asleep by midnight I am sure.
