Back from the doctors!

Lil Smudge is fine. Flourishing, in fact.

They plugged me into a fetal monitor to record his heartbeat, movement, and any contractions, for about 10 minutes. His heart does this "acceleration" thing that it should be able to do by 32 weeks, which is an indicator that he’ll be able to handle the stress of being born. Now is about the earliest most babies can do that, and they wouldn’t have been worried if he wasn’t doing it. But that he CAN and IS, is a very, very good sign.

And he’s moving around and kicking appropriately. Even if I don’t feel it the same way I did.

Still, I’m done with any vigorous dancing. Maybe some nice, slow romantic dancing while we’re on vacation next week, but that’s it.
