36 Weeks

Here I am...feeling quite pregnant. And the fact that I asked Geoff to take this picture and made no effort to put on makeup, fix my hair or remove my glasses is proof that I'm tired. We went to our weekly checkup yesterday, and I am 1 cm dilated. However, our little boy is currently breach (rear end instead of head is down). So, next Monday we'll have a full ultrasound to check his positioning. If he's still breach the doctor will check to see if my body and Frazier are a good candidate for attempting to turn him, which involves a lot of pushing on me. If they can't turn him then we'll have to seriously talk about scheduling a C-section. I told Geoff on the way out of the doctor's that having a C-section hadn't even crossed my mind. I was more concerned about trying to prepare to go through labor without drugs again and wondering if I could make it! I actually feel ok about this and wouldn't be surprised if he turns his little self around. He is such a mover that he just may do it all by himself! Otherwise, everything else is on track - I'm measuring well, have gained 23 lbs and his heartbeat is strong and right where it should be.
