Another checkup today, and I learned a little bit about the fetal monitor sensors: they use a doppler ultrasound to get fetal heartrate, and a spring-loaded pressure sensor to measure abdominal tension (= contractions). All indications remain good. I had not planned to perform tonight, but one of the dancers in the group was running a fever, so I filled in. I figured I could always run home if there was an urgent call, but it all worked out. So- back to waiting.

I'm imagining the drama of it all: the building music, the smooth circling, the faint buzzing of a cell on 'mute,' the acrobatic and graceful gesture extracting the cell, the leaping dash for the door, tails flying, as the partner is left spinning alone...
Oh well. Next time :-)!
