Finally, a picture!

Sorry there haven't been any pictures for awhile. I finally decided to take some and she was a brat about it trying to grab the camera. Here she is clicking her tongue at me: She hasn't been feeling too well today. Last night when I got home I heard her coughing- sounds like croup. It didn't keep her up last night at all surprisingly, but today she was really grouchy and tired this morning, didn't eat all that well, and then I ended up laying her down again tonight from about 5-6:30. She's just worn out! I think she's getting more teeth- yes, more...She's had a runny nose lately, but not RSV runny, just occasionally runny, and she's chewing and slobbering like crazy! Aren't we done yet?! Just some more shoe obsession pictures...So the doctor update...Well, Dr Morris still thinks baby boy is breech. We thought initially he had turned...and I'm still not convinced that he hasn't, but we'll see in a couple of weeks. I am still measuring a whole week big and she can't feel a head down my my pubic bone, so she thinks he's probably still breech. Dang. I think he spends a lot of time sideways or transverse. If we still think he's breech in two weeks we'll schedule an ultrasound to see what the situation is really. If it shows he's breech then we'll talk about turning him- I asked if my placenta would be a problem and she said maybe. Turning them doesn't always work either, so we would need to decide what the right decision is for us.

If he stays breech the entire time we're still not required to schedule a c-section like I feared- we can wait until I go into labor and then do a check at that point by ultrasound. Obviously if I go into labor and he's breech when we get there, I'll have a c-section, but lots of babies turn at the last minute, so I'd rather do it that way than risk having a scheduled section before he might turn on his own anyway. So in two weeks we should know more.

I know B would like a c-section so he can plan things better...but I'd rather not have my guts cut open! I think most of my desire for a vaginal birth has a lot to do with M- I don't want to have to worry about picking her up and being able to care for her right after I have the baby. Plus I'm sure the stairs in our house would be a bear. I appreciate so much that she's not pushing me into doing something right now- I'm feeling much more relaxed about it! That's all for now I guess!
