Turn Baby Turn

A while back I caught one of those episodes of "I didn't know I was pregnant" and the woman they were profiling started to give birth to a breach (footling; see diagram below) baby boy. None the less it was in a truck stop bathroom and she thought she had the flu until a foot was sticking out of her hoohaw...it really freaked me out so I stopped watching that show all together. Anywho...I have been a little nervous about Max being breech. Even with a scheduled c-section, the thought of going into quick labor and a foot appearing seemed to enter my mind from time to time. SO yesterday when I went in for my check up I was pretty pumped when my doc wanted to do an ultrasound just to confirm he was breech. When we looked on the screen, he was head down, ready to rumble.
 

 No more nightmares about feet out my hoohaw!

 

I am pretty sure he turned in the past week because there has been some major alien action going on in my tummy! The past few days have also been slightly hellish...early labor, major pressure ect...I just keep saying that my pregnancy has been awesome so if the last few weeks suck I can muster through...and than I forget that mantra and I complain some more to my Husband and Mom.

This time of year I am always thinking of sweet Nancy, miss her so much! Her birthday is the 14th and it would be very special to have Max share that day with his Angel Grandma  BUT I am about 2cm dilated, so who knows, could be tomorrow could be on the 14th! I will leave that up to the big man and the little man in my belly (and our Grandma Angel!)

This was July 1981; Nancy pregnant with Matt. Maternity clothes and Men's shorts have come a long way since than:-)

 FYI for those that care, if I go into labor i.e. intense "toe curling" contractions 5 minutes apart for more than hour I am to go to Labor and delivery OR if my water breaks...otherwise by Law, Doctors can not do a scheduled C-section until 39 weeks! No matter how miserable the begging pregnant lady might be:-)

We are planning to have a productive labor day weekend whether that be house projects or having a baby I don't know. Have a safe and fun Labor day and if anything happens I will be sure to let you know!
