Picture Day

Everything is going very well today.  I was recently told by one of the residents that I am considered one of the most “stable” patients on the floor right now, a title that brought me great joy!  I would hate to be considered “unstable,” in any way!   However, I do have to admit that the nurses have repeatedly informed me that I have an “irritable” uterus (meaning that I constantly have lots of harmless mini-contractions that I can’t feel), a term which usually causes Jim to chuckle.  I do have to give him credit – he’s displayed great restraint by not cracking too many jokes about my non-uterine irritability when the nurses make that comment 🙂 

Neither of the girls passed their non-stress test (NST) today, so despite my optimism in my post on 6/13, I guess I’ll have to reserve some of my unbridled confidence in their neurological superiority until later!  Since the NSTs were deemed reassuring but non-reactive (which is no cause for concern), they did a quick ultrasound just to double check on their well-being.  The resident who did the ultrasound was kind enough to take a few extra profile pictures for my benefit.  They both look so darling!  My mother-in-law asked me whether I can tell who they look like yet, but I think the jury will be out until their birthday…although I think I can perhaps detect the cute-as-a-button Clark nose (Jim’s mom’s side of the family) in one of the pictures!
