Still Pregnant...

hmmm....so the doctor was wrong. I did make it to my next appointment, and the one after that. My membranes have been stipped twice now, and still no baby. I really baby comes soon, I'm so ready to meet him or her!

Making Progress

I had a great doctor's appointment today! First of all I lost a pound (which is always nice at this point) my blood pressure is still great, I'm 3 cm dialated, 70% effaced, and the baby is at station +2 or 3!! The doctor was very happy with my progress and said she will be surprised if I make it to my appointment next week!

Yay, Come on Baby!

Good News!!

We found out today that the baby is now head down!! What a huge relief!

I am full term this weekend, so I will be busy getting all the last minute details done. I plan on washing all the newborn and 0-3 month size clothes and putting them away, setting up the pack n play, and installing the carseat. Just in case this little one (who is already full of surprises) decides to come a little early.

I'm so happy and excited!

Breech

Last Thursday at my doctor's appointment (which are coming every week now) we found out that the baby is breech. Little stinker, it was head down at my 20 wk ultrasound! The doctor wasn't very hopeful that baby will turn, but I'm not going to give up hope for my vaginal birth yet.

Since my appoinment I've gotten into just about every position imaginable to try to get the baby to turn. Spinningbabies.com is the site that I've been using. I've also started seeing a chiropractor to try the Webster Method to encourage the baby to turn. My first visit was monday this week, and I will be going back twice a week for the next few weeks.

I wish I could see what is going on in there. The baby has moved, but I cant tell what position he/she is in now. Up to this point, there has been a ball sticking out of the top of my belly, just a little to the left (which I learned last Thursday is the baby's head) Today when I woke up the ball was not in its usual place. I can't tell where it is, I'm thinking it just moved over to the other side since I'm still getting some pretty good kicks down low. I'm starting to drive myself crazy with trying to figure out how this baby laying. UGH!! I know I need to just relax; I'm doing everything I can and I will find out if it worked at my u/s at 38 weeks.

Turn baby, turn!!

Last weekend my Mother-in-law threw me a shower for Jason's side of the family. It was very nice and we ended up getting a lot of great stuff. Here are some pics from my fun night celebrating baby!

Also, I counted it up yesterday and I only have 36 work days till maternity leave!!

This is what my mom got me, it was a hamper then when I took the lid off a clothesline filled with cute clothes was attached...it stretched across the whole room
