She Flipped!

I only have a couple minutes before I have to take the boys to school but I wanted to let you know that at my ultrasound yesterday the baby was head down – YEA! I am sooooo happy! Thank you so much for your prayers and well wishes – they worked!

Story goes I was supposed to have an ultrasound at 9:15 and then a Dr. Appointment at 10:15 to go over the results. Well, the hospital messed up and had my ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow, but said they could squeeze me in at noon. So, I went to the Dr. first and then the ultrasound. At the Dr. she felt the baby and said “yup, still breech”. (I’m pretty sure she wasn’t at this point, but she felt that way to the dr. – I had that problem with Dane too – at 37 weeks my midwife sent me in for an ultrasound because she thought he was breech, but he wasn’t – so I must just carry weird or something… Yesterday my Dr. did an internal exam as well and said she couldn’t feel any body part and obviously the baby was all very high.) So she went over all the final c-section stuff and sent me on my merry way.

I went to my ultrasound at noon (after dinking around that tiny town for a couple hours) and she was head down! I was quite surprised and ecstatic. Her head is still pretty high, but that was the same with the boys as well until I went into labor so I’m not too worried about that – as long as she’s head down we’re good. So here’s where it gets complicated…

I had my ultrasound at noon and the Dr. office closed at noon so she didn’t get the results. Today she is out of town and then it is the weekend and then Monday morning I am supposed to be at the hospital at 5 a.m. for the scheduled c-section. So, I’m not quite sure how to contact her, I’ll have to call the office today to see if I can figure out a way to get ahold of her. She did say that if for some reason she was head down in the ultrasound we could cancel the c-section, so I just need to figure out how to cancel that.

The baby was measuring 7 pounds 3 oz. as of yesterday, so I’m guessing she will still want to induce early, but I’m not sure when.

So that’s the scoop as of now.
