Andrew 36 Weeks

On Sunday Jan. 24th, 2010, whole day long, I did not feel Andrew was moving inside of me. I thought he was tired and he needed some sleep. We went to have dinner at Da-Da Tea Shop (大大茶樓) at Tainan City Center. This restaurant is mainly on 飲茶 [yin cha], Cantonese little snacks, for tea time only.

After diner, we went back home, at that time, I started to feel that Andrew was not even right. David bought orange juice for me to drink and see if the baby would move more, unfortunately, nothing. I went online and I registered to see the doctor at the first hour on Monday morning. Unfortunately, I got the second to the last number.

When I entered to the doctor's office, I told him that baby has problems, he blamed at me right away. he said if the baby didn't have a heart beat, it was not good for you and for anybody else. He asked me to more tests.

After the first test came out, he told me that I have to stay at the hospital, I cannot even go to home. I cannot even go to the bathroom or move around. I have to lie down in bed until my condition will get better.

I am at the hospital laying down doing nothing.

I have to put out all the machine in my tummy.

There are two circles. The first one (down) it the baby's heart beat and the second one (up) is my uterus contraction. It will measure how many beats per minute. I usually get 10 - 15 minutes around 70. If I lie down on the side of my tummy, I can get normal beat which is 5 to 20, no more than 20.

It is so painful to lie down at the hospital's bed doing nothing. I can just eat and do nothing else. From this time, I felt that I am a big pig with a baby inside of me, ha ha ha...

Now, Andrew is 2,400. Now, he is still small to come out. He needs to gain more pounds before delivery, ha ha ha...
