False Alarm

Well, today made for an eventful day. We had a stress test today and our little Ethan had a high heartrate for about 45 minutes. The normal heartrate should be around 150 and Ethan's was around 170. Durring this course of time he was extremely active, which isn't unusual but in all the other stress tests that we have had they have been normal. Well, they ended up watching him for another 30 minutes and it ended up staying in the normal range. I thinks its because he calmed down a bit.
During the stress test Amanda started getting pretty consistent contractions, but of course they still sent us home because she had only had them for about a half hour. Once we got home they still had not stopped. She had something to eat, ran a paper to one of her classes and once she got home they still continued. The only difference with these was that they were not "hard" enough. Well, 5 hours went by and they were still going. Amanda thought maybe we should go to the hospital and see if she is progressing any. We had the Bishops wife take Hollie and off we went to the hospital with wishful thinking. By the time we got there Amanda was feeling sick to her stomach, her face was flushed and she was really hoping she was progressing. They hooked her up to all the monitors watched the baby's heartrate and "checked" her and there wasn't much progress. So, ofcourse, they had us walk around the hospital for a half hour and when we came back there was still no change. To make a long story shorter we are home tonight, she was in bed at 9 and we are all still anxiously awaiting our baby boy's arrival. She seems to be following the same pattern as Hollie. She didn't dilate much with her until the end, so we'll see what happens tomorrow. We have a doctors appt. in the morning and we will see what the doc says. No worries, I'll keep you all update.
