Melissa thought Bea had one of her worst monitors this morning, but then the doctor came in and explained it was maybe her best. Apparently it's good for the baby to have quick significant drops in heart rate when the umbilical cord is pinched/grabbed followed by an immediate spike upward. They want to see the baby react quickly to things.
The doctor also explained that due to all of the stress Bea's been under they might pull her out the minute anything inconsistent occurs after 32 weeks, which is less then two weeks away. Typically they would wait for a day or two to make sure better symptoms occur after a bad monitor, but it appears they're going to pull the trigger quick. The doctor essentially said we should be preparing for two weeks from now.
Melissa's mom is taking her first break in six weeks next week. She's going back to Appleton Monday-Friday to take care of stuff there. Thus if anyone is wondering if next week would be a good week to visit Melissa, it would. She'll be extra bored. I'm in the process of lining up my family to help watch Bullet so I can see Melissa after work.
