My Life in a DrumShell!

No Baby Yet, But A Bit of a Scare!

It’s Monday and no baby yet so if nothing by tonight at 8AM tomorrow morning Josie will start getting induced.

We had a bit of a scare on Saturday, I am amazed how kids change you and he hasn’t even born yet.

My band and I had a wedding to play at on Saturday and I was there most of the day setting up the drums then the wedding and what not. Josie was home getting ready to accompany me. It was quite the hectic day to say the least.

On our way home after the wedding, around 10:30PM she mentions she doesn’t think the baby has moved. I said are you sure? She said yes. So we proceeded to try to make him move. Josie and I push him from one side to the other which usually works and nothing.

We bought this thing to be able to hear the baby’s heartbeat at walmart for 20 bucks and though it was faint we could hear the baby a couple of times, other times we couldn’t. Well this was one of those other times. At this point I was really getting worried.

The midwife had said if we had any doubts about the baby’s movement to call. Better safe than sorry. So it’s about midnight and we called and she set us up to go to the Birthing Center to get her hooked up and monitored.

As soon as they put on the heartbeat monitor I breathed a sigh of relief. Josiah was fine. The nurse gave Josie 2 cups of juice and gave her a button to mark when ever she felt him move. Turns out the sweetness in the juice makes babies move around and kick. We did not know that. Well after almost 2 and half hours of monitoring we went home and were able to sleep soundly all three of us. ;)
