Decreased movement at 35 weeks?

My doctor's appointment on Monday went pretty well but they did a heart rate/movement test and my Little One flunked it.  I had no idea that a fetus would be taking tests so early and she has already received her first F.  :-(  I hope that is not an indication of her academic years to follow.  LOL  Well, I had to go back to the doctor today (Thursday) for a re-test.  Poor little beauty flunked it again!!  So now I'm a little nerved and wondering why my sweet pea isn't moving around like she normally does.  Her heart rate was good and he checked my cervix, Ouch!  He said she is still floating high and my cervix is closed.  Even still, I am suppose to continue my kick counts tonight and call them tomorrow.  He may want to see me tomorrow if she remains a sleeping beauty and isn't kicking me around.  Otherwise, I go back on Monday for my normal weekly check up.  Therefore, my assignment tonight is to get her going and count her kicks.  Wish me luck!!
