So yesterday (Friday) the baby was really quiet and restful all day. Even late in the evening when she usually does her ridiculous aerobic routines she was motionless. When I went to sleep she seemed asleep, when I woke up she was still asleep. This started to concern me because she is such a spastic nut! I went to the bathroom and then laid back down in bed, because this usually triggers her to revolt against my laziness. She knows when I stand up and when I lay down and she likes me upright.
NEways when I got up for the day I planned to go to Labor and Delivery following my shift at the hospital for piece of mind, I knew she was alive but thought that they should know about her decreased movements. All day long I counted kicks, turns, anything and everything but the most I got in any hour was 5. This was quite a contrast to earlier in the week when I could get 10 movements in 3 minutes. But as my shift wound down I was getting anxious about going downstairs to L & D and started rehearsing what I would say when I got there.
WELL as of 10:12pm tonight, she's back! Sure enough in the span of 15-20 minutes I got more than 10 movements. I never went downstairs and came straight home after work, and sure enough as usual, upon settling down onto the couch to snack she started her aerobics routine. She is working overtime to make up for her lack of a workout yesterday.
Silly baby! I know when the baby movements are down you're supposed to eat and drink and continue counting, but in this case I have been eating tons and tons and working feverishly to keep hydrated (from 9-11pm last night I emptied my bladder 5 times). I don't know, maybe I ate too much yesterday and sent her into a food coma?
