trip to labor and delivery

so friday morning i was thinking - i don't remember aiden moving much yesterday... so after i ate breakfast (a nice sugary donut and some apple juice) i laid down on my side for about 45 min. to see if he would move - i felt only one movement. so i went to work and was going to call the doctors office as soon as i got a moment. whenever i was sitting down and being still (which has been happening a lot more often - glad i have a good class!) i would pay attention to see if he would move at all - and nothing... so once i got my kids to lunch i called the doctors office and was told to go to labor and delivery to be monitored.

so adam came and picked me up from work and off to the hospital we went... i got strapped in and we were able to hear a heartbeat right away and the nurse said that everything looked okay - but i needed to stay for at least 20 min. she also asked if i felt him moving and when i said no she said that sometimes we get accustomed to the movement and just don't notice it - cause he was moving. after about 20 min. i was able to feel him move. i ended up being on the monitor for an hour because i had to wait for the doctor to get out of surgery to release me. i was released and told that everything looked and sounded good and hopefully they wouldn't see me again until i was ready to deliver! (my hope too!)
