Right. So after three weeks of a small bag of rabid weasels running around inside Darby's belly (her analogy, not mine), Lili seems to have settled into a head down position. The Dr. was pretty sure of it with the physical exam, and brought in the machine that goes "ping" to prove it to Darby.
Funny story - at the appointment on the 2nd, we were talking about how there's some study talking about foot pain causing babies to turn. Friday the 5th, Darby damn near broke her toe (so much so we went to the walk-in clinic to make sure it wasn't). Swelling and purple bruises later (and some more toe-kicking) things are looking better, both for the toe and for the position... Coincidence? :)
Salient details. 36cm belly, baby's heartbeat in the 130's, if she went into labor today they wouldn't do anything to stop her. They made her do a NST, and it was funny to watch the changes to Lili's heartbeat when Cora would enter and exit the room (it didn't help that little miss sunshine #1 didn't nap yesterday and was in "a mood").
We also took a tour of the birth center over at the hospital and got pre-registered, so now when she goes into labor, we can skip all the paperwork.
Questions?

Cora already stressing out her sister, huh? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad she turned (and that little tidbit is not something I'd heard, but interesting...). See you in a couple days!
Lili? I like that! Glad to hear everything is going well, plus it's fun to read about some of my friends having those life events my mom always warned me about. ;) You guys are the only ones. Are we going be the opposite of the Baby Boomer parent generation?
