Update : Just a scare

So yesterday I went in for routine testing that I will have every Tuesday and Friday for Anberlin. I had a ultrasound just for blood flow and fluid check. Everything looked good there and the doctor sent me to the second part of the appointment, which is the non stress test and check my heartbeat, the baby's heartbeat, and stress on my uterus.  Well, during this second appointment the nurse was explaining why the test was being done and what it was checking,  during this time I was laying on my back too long. This caused me to block blood flow to me and the baby, which then made the baby's heartbeat dangerously low for about 7 minutes and they whisked me to the OR just in case they need to take Anberlin out and revive her. Very scary I have to say, but we made it there quick and I knew Anberlin was God's hands, so I wasn't too freaked out, I actually felt taken care of at that time, which was probably good for Anberlin's condition at the time. I was kept overnight at the hospital to make sure that laying on my back or Anberlin rolling on to the cord was the problem and not something more serious, we were able to go home at 4:00 the next day. Anyways, keep Anberlin and I in your prayers and pray that she stays in for at least 10 more weeks!
