Update, champion of hide and seek (or, how I freaked out in L&D) (MAP)

First, I am so sorry I have been a terrible bumpie as of late. Work has been insane and, for some reason, mobile bumping won't let me login to post (*shakes fist*). I lurk pretty much every day, but have not been able to contribute very much. I'm sorry, ladies. I am working towards a big event tomorrow, so I'm hoping once I get past that, I can return to offering more support.
I'll preface this by saying that everything is totally fine:
So, late last week I noticed a definite shift in Mr. BabyPants' movement. I was still feeling movement, but where it used to be drum solos, it was much more subtle. I also started feeling really crappy on Friday night and had a touch of pink spotting (just once). I talked to the doula that is running my birth class and she said it was worth a call to the nurse line. When I called, the nurse conferred with the doc, and the doc said to go to L&D. So, on Saturday evening, off we went, feeling 99% that things were okay and we were just being overly cautious.
Fast forward to when they hook up the fetal monitor and . . . nothing. No heartbeat. The nurse fussed with it and I began to get increasingly nervous. Then she called the doc and before I knew it there were four extremely worried looking medical professional faces surrounding my bedside. Doc grabbed the monitor and also could not find anything quickly and demanded a fast ultrasound. Cue total and complete freak out.
Thankfully, they got the ultrasound machine in, in record time I might add, and found him right away. They did a BPP, which he passed with flying colors. They ultimately were able to find him on the fetal monitor as well. They ran a strip on me and the doctor reports that I have a precocious overachiever, whose heart tones are that of a 32 week old (I'm 30 weeks). He also has flipped head down (woohoo!) in the past couple of days, which might explain why the movement feels markedly different. TOTAL RELIEF.
A week ago we found out this little *ahem* guy is in the 95 percentile for size (*gulp*). Both my fiance and I come from a long line of shorties, so we aren't sure where this enormous baby is coming from (and I have passed all my GD tests). But, given that he is so freaking huge, WHY this baby is so hard to find on monitors--this is not the first time they have not found him--is beyond me.
Champion hide and seeker? Extreme introvert like his parents? Drama king?

As for the reduced movement, his size and position are probably the culprit. I have no idea how the heartbeat would hide like that, but I am sure there is a simple explanation.
Anyway, I am glad all is well!
