We were back to the hospital today for another NST test. I learned a bit more this week about how the non-stress tests are evaluated. As mentioned before, the medical staff is looking for a change in the heart rates with the babies' activity. I learned that specifically, they consider an acceleration of the heart rate by 15 beats per minute is the measure of success (at least at the stage in pregnancy that we are currently).
We had another good day on the monitors. I drank a little juice before heading to the hospital, and the babies really responded.
On a fun note, I am including pictures from our "baby carrier practice session" from a few weeks back. We enjoy walking / hiking trails, and the babies will be along for the ride this summer. We hope they like it as much as we do!
Jim experimenting.
Our cat, Blanca - unwilling participant.
Success! Of course the real test is yet to come!

You're doing great, Momma! :)
LOL @ Blanca!
I used to do the juice trick, too. Never failed. :)
Jim looks great. So does Blanca. LOL
hahaha Blanca looks like she's loving the carrier! Hopefully the twins enjoy it more than she did! :)
