First Hospital Visit

Remember the fFN test that I mentioned in my previous post?  Today, we have decided to stop by the hospital to run such test... to find out if "The 4th A" will be arriving within the next 2 weeks. 

Amy has been feeling the same pain around the same area in the past few days.  Therefore, per Doctor's suggestion, we have decided to run this test to see if it tells us more information about the source of the pain.

So as soon as I came home from work, I changed into something more comfortable, and then we headed out.

As we arrived at the Labor and Delivery Floor, I realized that this is Addison's first visit to this floor since he was born here!  And he has grown so much that he's actually holding my hand, walking with me!  Anyway, time to check-in!

Since we told the nurse that we were there for a fFN test, they put us into a slightly smaller room.  Once we have settled down, they ran a series of tests on Amy to make sure all the vital signs are good.  Meanwhile, I was starving and I had to head out for some food!

While I was gone, there was actually a 4.4 earthquake!  I didn't event realize there was an earthquake as I was too busy eating with Addison in the cafeteria a floor down.  I only found out after Addison and I returned to the room.  Here's a video of Addison walking around the room.

Here's another video showing the Baby's heartbeat.

 
After almost 3 hours later, the result is back.  "Negative.'  It means that "the 4th A" will not be born within the next 2 weeks!
 
This is good news!  But why is Amy feeling so much pain?  The nurse is guessing that there are ligaments around that tummy area.  So when Amy had to hold Addison's hand pushing and/or pulling him around, it's possible that Amy hurt herself without her knowing. 
 
Well, by then, I was all ready to leave because I was really tired.  We then packed up our stuff and left the hospital.  And Addison fell asleep rather quickly in the car too.
