31 weeks today

The ultrasound today was better than yesterday's.  There was a some "zero flow" today but not nearly like there was yesterday.  We have had a different doctor every day since Friday.  The doctor today feels like we are over testing.  He feels like we do not need to repeat the ultrasound again until Friday.  He says this is something that will fluctuate from day to day.  Adam and I are a little frustrated.  I miss being in at home, seeing the same doctor for every appointment.  Here there are so many doctors and each have a different opinion I feel like we are getting bounced around  The doctor we spoke to on Sunday told me that if my tests were good on Monday they would probably release me from the hospital.  She obviously hadn't read my history.  The doctor today told me I am not going anywhere.  He also said until we see "negative flow" we will continue doing what we have been doing. 

The baby looks good on the non stress tests.  We did two today.  They will continue to do the non stress test daily, so hopefully if things start to get worse they will pick up any problem.  

I talked to the nurse today about my hair.  She is Spanish and I don't think she had ever heard of anyone's hair turning green.  She thought I was crazy for thinking it would be the water here.  Then she brought the charge nurse in and she was so nice.  She called the maintenance department.  They do add some chemicals to their water to prevent a disease.  I can't remember what disease she said.  They had the nutrition department bring me two cases of bottled water with my dinner.  This same charge nurse is also going to buy me some baking soda tonight while she is at the grocery store.  We have read that if you make a paste with banking soda it is supposed to take the green out of your hair.
