Getting Ready

Good news. She's head down! Still not dropped so she has the potential to keep flipping, but it's not very common for them to flip after 37 weeks so we're optimistic.

Honestly, I can't tell you if any of the "techniques" I used did it or if she decided to flip on her own. Each time I did something to try and turn her, she seemed to be completely still. She'd get pretty active afterward, but I didn't expect her to be head down at my appointment so that goes to show how much I know.

All is going well. We have 3 weeks left before her due date and I'm very excited but not impatient. I am looking forward to being able to bend over again and for my vericose vein to go away (MUCH more painful than I had imagined), but I can't do much complaining.

Ryan was praying the other night and said, "..and bless that Millie (that's what we've been calling her) will have a fun time swimming in the bag of water."
Yep, I doubt she's got much room for "swimming" anymore, but I hope she's having fun.
