MD appointment today

So, i went in for a regular appointment today. at 37.5 weeks, i am not dilated or effaced at all, which is fine i guess. the level II ultrasound is on monday to check on the baby. they told me today that if anything is remotely wrong, ie: fluid levels off, size down, etc, they are going to pull her monday.
also, she wasn't moving this morning. so they did a non-stress test, which she was literally 5 seconds away from failing before she gave mommy a big kick. so, she passed, but not by much. i was sent home with strict kick count instructions (where you sit for an hour and count how many times she moves. if it's under 4 in an hour, you have to call the MD---for the nonpreggos. ;))

anyway. she better be a good baby. she's giving us a run for our money. i'm exhausted already.

back to work tonight. :( i packed a lot of protein foods for dinner to get me through the shift. :(
