We went to the hospital last night.
The doctor told us to go anytime I felt less than 10 kicks in two hours or if her kicking noticeably decreased (normal would be about 10 kicks in 6 minutes for me). I felt very few kicks on Saturday and then nothing at all on Sunday. Obviously this was a considerable decrease in her usual activity. I tried all the tricks the doctors taught us to get her to kick (cold water, sugary food, pushing on my belly) and nothing. Not even a hiccup. So off we went to the hospital. They put a sensor on my belly and had me lay down for 30 minutes. They were looking for her heart rate to go up (to indicate movement). According to the heart rate monitor, she was moving the entire time, but I didn't feel it once.
So, all is well - she has just become a stealth baby.
