oh jess i'm so sorry that the NST didn't go well. i had NSTs and biophysical profiles done when i was pg with dd#1 due to PIH. my first biophysical profile went along the same lines. my DD didn't do all of the things she was supposed to do, i was there for well over an hour, turned every which way, poked and given juice. BP checked like a million times. after they realized she wasn't going to do what they needed her to do they moved onto the NST and we went through it all over again, not 4 hrs worth though ((HUGS)).
the second time we went, she was a star and did everything perfectly and i had both tests done in about an hour.
so perhaps your next one will be much much better than this one was. i'm glad to hear that you had the steroid shots 36 weeks isn't too bad, it's technically only a week early and it's an EXTREMELY rare occassion that a 36 week gestation babe doesn't do well . they might be little due to the PIH, but they should be PERFECT in EVERYWAY good luck, i'll be thinking of you two !!
i saw my ob yesterday and i found out that my blood sugar level after the 1 hr test was 135, which is under the 140, so my ob didn't really care too much that i didn't want to do the 3 hr, and she's not going to treat me as GD. my blood pressure is still great ( which is good for me cause normally right about now it's around 140/90 and i'm getting sent for labs, and 24 hr urines, and testing). i only gained .5 lb in the last 2 weeks, which i was excited about but my DH was worried about LOL.
we're slowly getting into our house too which is GREAT! the house is about 50 yrs old and so much of it is still original so of course i have like a million projects i want to work on LOL. i need to bump the "prediction" thread and see if there are dates, weights and sexes that you all want to change tee hee hee

All the stooping, housecleaning, and bathing her have gotten harder and I'm getting more and more tired it seems...
:
!
: for you on the GBS test. I'm not actually sure what our midwifery practice thinks about this one they may have told us but I forget. My next appointment is next Thursday at 36 weeks, so I will ask then.
: to lillian.
When you up to it, you'll have to post pics of little Lillian 
girl: . I'll tell you what my ILs told me when I started nursing -- have a (non-alcoholic) beer and try to relax! 
(Their reason, "Why to help with let down of course!" 
I'm sorry it started out so stressful, but I'm happy to hear that all turned out well. 
Overall, I'm trying to stay walking (with our recent rains, it's been alittle hard) and trying to remember to at least do my kegels. I need to work on the pelvic rocking.
