If you monitor only 1x/week instead of 2, maybe you'd only need to do it once or twice before the baby comes. Of course, then you won't get as much knitting done. :) How many weeks are you now, Julie?

Boy were the neighbors mad at the guy who owned that tree, who wouldn't trim it and who said "I was crazy."

I've never had fetal monitoring to the extent you described, but I did have to do NST's with W~ since he was born 9 days after my due date. My experience was that it took awhile if he was being quiet, but they went fast when he was being active. They just wanted to see a certain amount of movements within the time period. Once I hit their number, they cut me loose. Hopefully, it will be the same for you. Good luck! Julie,
