Whoa belly! 36 Weeks
Just when I thought I couldn't get any bigger I do! Brent thinks I'll have the baby early because in his words he "can't imagine me getting any bigger"!
I had a checkup with Chinmayo yesterday and she drew my blood again. My hemodilution has gone down further which is good. Baby's heartrate is slowing down (145 bpm) which is normal as birth gets closer. He was head down and I hope he stays that way. Earlier today I'm pretty sure he flipped himself head up but I think he is back to head down as I'm getting kicked in the ribs again! Chinmayo sent me home with all her birth supplies because I am her next mother set to give birth - Yay! It's becoming more real and before I know it he'll be here!!! She also instructed me on what to do if he comes so fast that she doesn't make it to the birth... after Ben's labor of 28 hrs and 5 hrs pushing I can't imagine this one would come that fast but I guess we'll see!

Hi, Cari!
Thanks for the suggestions you put on my blog a while back. I had been trying a bunch of different things, but nothing worked to flip the baby. I don't know if you've read my blog since then, but the doctor was able to flip him and I had a vaginal delivery - yay! Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and tell you that I thought it was funny that you read my blog because I read yours, too! I am a blog-aholic. :) I hope that your baby stays head-down and that your labor goes well. Things are a little more hectic with two kiddos, but more fun, too. Best of luck and congratulations!

P.S. Your home is just beautiful! It makes me miss AK every time I see pictures of your surroundings. And Ben is such a cutie! :)
