Went to see my midwife this morning. She is positive that the baby is HEAD DOWN now!!!! The baby is Right Occiput Transverse, which means its head is down with its back against my right side, he/she is facing my hip and is kicking my upper left abdomen. Yay! Before the midwife felt around and determined the baby's position, she said that it wouldn't be a bad idea to get an ultrasound. After she determined the baby's position she said that there's no need to waste our money on an ultrasound because this baby is most certainly vertex. I guess our sweet baby just wanted to play with mommy and daddy's heads a little bit. When DH left for work this morning he put his face to my belly and sternly said, "Okay Baby, today's the day!" Well, what do ya know? He/she already listens to daddy.

My sister looked in her second child's baby book and saw that he had turned breech @ 34 weeks and flipped back over one week after that. This one just thought it would be fun to follow suit, I suppose. (albeit at 37 weeks)

I'll be at 38 weeks on Monday. I'm getting so excited to meet our baby!

My midwife suggested that I keep doing those crazy baby spinning exercises because they will only encourage the baby to stay head-down. Also, she recommends that I keep going to the chiropractor for the remainder of the pregnancy because it may very well have been the Webster adjustments to my sacrum that made enough room in my pelvis for Baby's head to feel comfortable dowm there again, and we want to keep it that way. That's fine with me.

I am so thankful to the Lord. My Father is a good Father that gives good gifts to His children.
