baby update

(picture of baby at 28 weeks)

we had our NST (fetal non stress test) today and our little guy passed with flying colors!! auntie brianna got to see her little nephew for the first time when they measured my amniotic fluid. she almost cried when she heard his heart beat. she was also kind of freaked out because his heart rate is about 150 and she thought that was too high (it's a perfectly healthy baby heart rate). but we had fun during the extremely boring NST and i'm happy she was there. i also got to see him take big practice breaths, which was amazing! i'm so glad i got to see him breathing in and out. it's tough when you know you'll have a preemie, because you worry about having preemie issues (including the lungs being underdeveloped) in addition to the gastroschisis, so it was so nice to see him already working on developing those lungs. i felt like such a proud mom. we have our big 32 week scan on weds, and i'm sure i'll have a lot more information then.
