All is well in our little corner of the world. Just 8 weeks and 5 days to go before our first and only baby girl is scheduled to join us! I think she might come a little early and I really hope she comes out the right direction. Right now she's sitting Frank Breech in an absolute perfect pike. I've been having odd braxton hicks this last week too.... but perhaps I just haven't been drinking enough water. Water has always been a problem with me.

Another issue in my world is my ability to get in enough food. I'm somehow gaining but it sure doesn't feel like I'm eating enough. I eat 3 maybe 4 bites of a solid protein and I'm done. Like Stick a fork in me, I'm DONE, kind of done!  Then I wait a half hour/hour and I do it again. Graze and repeat!  Somewhere in between I'm supposed to be drinking my water LOL.

I've been doing pretty good at having fruit for one "meal", protein heavy for the next, dairy for another...that sort of thing. Really trying to get in a variety even though I can't do it all in one sitting. The MD isn't worried at all though. I've managed to gain almost 20 lbs so far. Not too shabby for still having 8.5 cc's in a 14 cc band. I was adamant that they NOT take out my fill if it could be avoided. So far I've been able to make it work.

Anyway, all is well with my little family. Just wanted to give you an update.
Hope all is well with you too!

Congrats....as far as Breech, google good chiropracters that do the webster maneuver, which is just subtle adjustments of the hip and pelvic area but has a high success rate for getting a breech baby heads down. I am giving this advice as an OB nurse, not a hippy chick

You look fabulous!! My daughter didn't "turn" until the last 3 weeks, so you never know. Post pictures of her after she comes.
