Your mom, the jungle gym

Baby H,
I had to memorialize our very eventful 24 hours together.  Around 9:00 or 10:00 last night I thought labor was starting in a big & bad way.  I was timing the contractions and quickly realized that there was no break in between.  Turns out they weren't contractions at all - instead you decided to do a half somersault and try out the breech position for a while.  Luckily you didn't like it very much and you completed the somersault by the time I could get to the doctor today.  Trust me, with 2 weeks to go, there is NOT enough room in there for you to go breech.  The only way I can explain it is a very painful tidal wave in my stomach...

Today's checkup confirmed that things are moving along - 40% effaced and your head is fully engaged in the downward position.  Because of your shenanigans, the doctor did another ultrasound to be sure everything looks o.k.  Following are two of the best shots.  In the first one, you're grabbing your foot with your hand.  In the second one, you're playing peek-a-boo and puffing out your cheeks.  We can't wait to meet you, little monkey!

Meghan aren't those pictures fun to see!!! We had so many of them with the girls and it is amazing what those babies do inside of your tummy. Enjoy these last few weeks with your hubby!!

That is to funny and scarey! Well it's good that he is active and even better that he turned his little butt around again. We don't want that baby boy breach, no C-sections. I'm glad to hear things are good.

What a precious lil man! I LOVE ultrasound pics! Sounds to me like he wanted to do one last lil flip before he became "engaged" :) Good Luck Megan! Although you may be a little un-comfy right now, take advantage of the mama baby timme right now.
