May 24, 2002 - 37 Weeks - Yippee!!!

Today's doctor appointment brought good news.  She's finally decided to flip over and looks like she's in good position now.  The doctor says that at this point he considers her full term and would not stop labor if it started.  So, we got our final instructions on when to call the hospital after the contractions begin and we go back to the old fashioned method of just waiting it out.  Not only are we happy that we won't have to go through surgery and/or attempts at turning the baby, but Mommy is happier now too.   Since the baby flipped and dropped the heartburn has gone back to manageable levels and I can breathe again.  The doctor did an ultrasound to confirm the baby's position.  We didn't get a good picture of the face because of where she was, but we did get a really good look at a confirmation that she is in fact a girl.  Even Chris and I could tell right away what we were looking at.  So, no need to keep a couple of emergency boys names on hand "just in case"!
