35 weeks!

Cori is still breech but still has room to turn.  We said if she turns, we will still try normal delivery but not use forceps or other means to help her out like they did with Luke... if she isn't progressing, we will do C-Section.  If she is still breech, we will do C-Section.  Dr. New is on vacation next week, so I'll see Dr. Livers for my regular check up.  They were sending my records over to L&D after my appointment so they are in place should i go into labor.  I told him I was feeling the start of contractions and taking Procardia about every 5 hours (supposed to wait for 6) and it seemed to calm things down.  He said the Procardia won't stop actual contractions, just uterine irritability, so that sounds like what is happening right now.  I still have one more week on the 17P, so that should help get another week or so in!  He measured her and thinks she is about 5 pounds, heart rate looks good (144 I think).  I gained 6 POUNDS in two weeks... my eyes must have jumped out of my head because Maria, Dr. New's nurse, said, "Well, you just had lunch...", okay, so maybe we are a pound off!!!  Whoah!  She is bent in half, bottom by my bladder, head centered below my chest and foot up in my right rib cage.  And my FAVORITE part... he said she has a full head of hair!  HELLO BOWS!  We are excited to meet our little girl in just weeks now!
