« Don't be breech! | Main | Julian is here! »

Waving in the amniotic breeze

Just got back from the ultrasound and *whew*....everything is OK. I am SO relieved. I'm absolutely exhausted from being stressed out all day long wondering if Baby J flipped to breech.

But he is NOT breech, he is head down, facing to one side (ideal is to have him facing towards my back, but that's OK, he can still move around a bit). He checks out perfect on all counts...nice and big and sturdy (but not too big), still has lots of fluid around him, placenta is in great condition, he's all coiled up like a spring, practicing breathing, good heartbeat, relaxed and happy. He's definitely a boy...we saw his scrotum and penis waving around in the amniotic "breeze". We tried to tickle his foot, but he was sleeping.

So whew, whew, whew. What a sigh of relief. Everything is fine. I called Veronica afterwards to tell her the good news and she says that she think I will probably deliver this week sometime. Of course, no one really knows for sure, that's just the best guess.

Off to make Baked Sesame Chicken with mashed Yukon Gold potatoes and a nice Maché salad for dinner.
