So last week at my appointment with my OB, I was informed that the baby is still in the breech position. I kind of already knew that as I tend to feel her head moving on my left side under my ribs, but I didn't know at what point it was cause for concern. Apparently that time is now. The dr scheduled me for a c section on September 7th. Before that though I will have another ultrasound to see if she flips around between now and then. This last week and next couple of weeks will be filled with fun activities trying to encourage her. These include lots of visits to the chiropractor, laying on an ironing board propped up on the bottom of our stairs (this inversion technique is supposed to make it easier for her to flip around), doing handstands in the pool with Christopher holding my legs (this is A LOT harder than it sounds when you are nine months pregnant), and various other things. If you think of it, please keep us both in your prayers are we'd prefer to not have to have a c section if we can help it.
Last weekend was my baby shower. Thanks to all of you who attended and to those who sent gifts. This baby is fortunate to be so loved already. I also wanted to do a shout out thank you to Sara who last year before I was even pregnant gave me a bunch of her baby stuff (a swing, carseat, stroller, exersaucer, tons of tiny clothes, and various other items). Your generosity has helped us so much!
Here are some pictures from the shower:
Amber did a great job hosting. I loved the decor and the strawberries theme:
