Mon. Dec 8th first non-stress test.

Well this was the first week of the non-stress tests on the babies. When I arrived for the appt. I overheard the nurses talking about how long it was going to take and how hard it was going to be to do non-stress tests on triplets so I wasn't sure what to expect.
They decided since the equipment can only test 2 babies at a time to do the boys first (baby B and C) since they are positioned higher up and side by side. Well needless to say at first the boys didn't want to cooperate and kept moving away from the monitor so we couldn't get a steady reading. Then baby B had the hiccups which was kind of cute and interesting to listen too. Finally though, after the nurses found both of their heart rates and monitored them for about 20-30 min, they saw that they were both doing fine and their heart rates and and movement was good. After the boys were done it was the girl's turn (baby A) and since they were only monitoring one this time it was a lot quicker and she also got a healthy report.
