Last April, Julianna started showing signs of sleep apnea. Her pediatrician noted that she her adenoids and tonsils were a little bit enlarged. We decided to have her undergo a sleep study to see if surgery will be necessary.
It was great that the study was done at a hotel room, it is less intimidating (and had a more "homey" feel) than a hospital room. They also had an LCD TV to help distract the patient while they hook them up to the monitors. A big plus was the use of a night vision camera, this enabled us to turn off the lights in the room while she slept.
As you can see in the pictures below, there were tons of wires attached to her. She hated the probes near her nose the most. She also had sensors on her chest and feet. It was actually amazing that she got any sleep. These pictures are not very good quality because they were taken from my iPhone. I love this phone but it unfortunately, it takes very bad pictures.
We will know her results in 3 weeks, but for now...I am just glad that it is over. I didn't get any sleep at all because the sleep technician came in every two hours to fix the probe on her nose. Argh! Needless to say, Julianna and I slept in until 1 pm the next day!

Ready for bed! Poor baby had to sleep with all the wires!
