A quick week

This week seemed to fly. Monday I went to my usual appointment with dr M. Baby not head down. Nice. So Tuesday we went for an ultrasound to confirm. Nope, not head down. We also learned that baby is quite small, probably about the same size sully was, but when you put numbers with it like "less than the 3rd percentile," and "measures 34 weeks" it sounds sortof scary. So I waited for her to call. Well she didn't. In the mean time I found a chiropractor 40 minutes away who specializes in a method of getting babies to turn. Wednesday I finally called dr m. She said we would wait until Next Monday and see what position we find. At that point we will decide if we want to try and make baby turn or wait. I asked about size and she said, "well we can't all be the same." So true so true, but I know many doctors that might flip a lid over an extremely small baby and I am once again reminded how lucky I am to have her. 
Baby looked perfect in every way and I got to see lots of good things. No gender shots!!! We decided if baby stays on the wrong position we will attempt to turn it. It can be risky, but the baby is monitored the entire time and I would be in good hands. If it doesn't work then we will plan a c-section. This might devastate some people, but I am really in this whole pregnancy thing to come out with a healthy baby, so whatever baby wants or needs, we will do it. 
I picked up Sully and we headed home. When we got there I was a little stressed. Not knowing what dr m would think. And I looked at him and thought- there he is. Mr "less than 3rd percentile" absolutely perfect. And we moved on. 
The next day he and I were both feeling under the weather so we just sat around and rested all day. It must have helped because we were both better Friday morning. 
After not sleeping Friday before work (not for lack of trying), I upholstered this board to cover the fuse box in the basement. Easy and cute! The letters will be painted the teal color down there. Turned out good!! 
We are having Mira's birthday party Saturday so it's out of the way no matter what happens in the next few weeks. Should be fun!
