Baby is Head down


Just wanted to give you the latest update from the baby doctor...we had an appointment yesterday with 6 weeks left to go.

The doc said everything is fine, the heart beat was fine, the baby is growing at the right rate and so am I.

I aksed the doc if he could tell what position the baby was in and he said yes...then he showed Vin and I how to tell.

The baby's head is down already. The doc pushed really hard on my lower, lower belly and said here it is...his head. Then he let me feel and Vin. Then he felt out the back and shoulders and legs. So apperently the baby is head down and back curled to the right side of my belly, legs up and to the left. Which is probably why my tummy is lopsided at times.

The doc also said he did not think the baby would turn again, or move from the head down postition...so maybe we are getting closer.

Everything else is good...dogs are good but sick of more rain, Vin is sick of more rain because it interfers with his trianing in the sun, and I am sick of rain because soccer practices and games are not fun under umbrellas.

School is on its final weeks...two more to go. I have tons to do to get ready for my replacement teacher, but who worries about that? It's her job now...

This weekend Vin's parents and my parents are coming up to help around the house. It will be a fun weekend I am sure...we might even get to finish or begin the baby room. It is a mess and not ready for a baby yet. I will post some pics next week.

Love to all...

Have fun with mom and dad and the Faracis. You and Vin should enjoy the last few weeks of being able do drop everything and head to the movies, or better yet, sleep through the night. Parenthood - it's an experience! You guys are ready for it and will be great parents.
