Prego Update


So, I'm starting my 37th week tomorrow and I just learned that the little guy is breech. There's still time for him to turn but most likely he won't. I'll go in next Tuesday and if he is still breech they are going to schedule an ECV (where the doctor manually turns the baby). I'm not too keen on the whole ECV thing. It sounds painful and only works like 60% of the time. I AM going to try it but there still may be a c-section in my future. At least it would be nice for planning purposes, right? =) The good news is I have actually dilated and effaced!! Only 1cm but considering last time at 41 weeks the doctor was still referring to my cervix as "Fort Knox", I can't help but be a little hopeful.

In other news Duncan puked 4 times last night. It took 3 loads of laundry filled with blankets, sheets, pillowcases, clothes, couch covers, and stuffed animals to get rid of any sign of vomit. Actually, I take that back. I still have an afghan waiting to be hand washed. UGGHH!! But there is good news with this one as well. It was snowy today so it was a perfect day to keep him indoors. Plus, it only lasted 12 hours! Hallelujah!

Hope you enjoyed our update. We're praying for a somersault!

If anyone has any experience with the ECV procedure I'd love to hear your comments!
36 Weeks =) Jimmy didn't tell me he was taking it.

Skinny Mirrors at the OB-GYN - Brilliant!


So I caught a glimpse of myself in the full length mirror while I was waiting in the exam room for my Doc. We don't own a full length mirror so I was curious and took another look. Now, I know I'm not a huge pregnant woman and have already admitted to liking my prego bod but this definitely was a skinny mirror. My legs looked so thin, as if they didn't even rub together when I walked. It was awesome!

Duncan would like to interrupt my blogging session by saying.....

"Cindermellon" "It's a kind of Lizard"

Also, earlier today he said something really smart. I asked him how he knew that and he replied,
"cause I'm a smart little monkey." I have to agree =)
