Hallejuah, Too Found the Way!

Driving to my OB appointment this afternoon, I KNOW there was a head in my side. I am NOT crazy...

But I went into the exam room and had the usual 45-second pee in a cup, measure the belly yada yada... then before my doctor could flee, I exclaimed, "This baby is upside down!! What are we going to do?" She stopped in her tracks and said, "Are you sure? Because I'm pretty sure I felt the head low." I explained that I JUST had an ultrasound last weekend and Too was 100% transverse with one foot over the head and one down underneath. She admitted that she had been keeping track of Too's transverseness over the last few appointments, but again, was fairly certain he/she was head down today.

Then, because I had apparently peaked her curiousity, she ushered me into another exam room with an ultrasound machine. (an OLLLLLLD dinosaur one that reminded me of the computers you see on "Lost") She plopped the probe down on my belly and sure enough, Too's head was down... I have no idea when my sneaky little baby flipped, but I swear it had to have been between the ride over and the walk to the office.

She was all smart-alecky about it too: "See? Head! Down here! Abdomen... up there! You have to trust me!"

Yeah, yeah... :P

She also said Too SHOULD stay head down at this point, but that if he/she goes breech again, not to be concerned because there is plenty of room still.

She ALSO said "fooey" to that ultrasound tech's measurements. She thinks Too is barely 4 pounds at this point and will probably top out at 7-1/2 when it's all said and done.

And a big sigh of relief was heard from me!

There was also a big sigh of relief after I got on the scale and learned I had only gained a pound. I've been eating Ben's leftover birthday cake since Sunday and frankly, I was a little worried.

Comments:
That is GREAT news. So now that your all relaxed and happy what about an updated baby belly picture to see how too is growing?
 
Hooray for Too! Good job, baby.
 
Okay, so normally I think that the baby in your ticker has a bad attitude and I don't find it funny, but the fact that it says "lay off the cake woman!" right as you're eating Ben's leftovers, well, today I'm laughing.
 
What kind of cake?

Now I want cake.
 
LOL Judy. I thought the same thing. ;) It was quite a coincidence.

And Val... it's yummy birthday cake... chocolate AND yellow with buttercream icing. ;)
 
yeah for too! how funny that you never felt him sneak a sommersault in your tummy! and =P to your doctor for being a smart aleck!!
 
Way to go Too! Now just make sure that you stay that way.
 
Good for Too & especially for you!
How funny is it that the baby turned during the visit! That's one for the baby books.
 
Whew! Big relief, I'm sure. Congratulations on finding the way, Too!
 
Glad to hear that Too is in the correct position now! Now Too, you just stay that way and no more worrying Mommy!
 
WOOOOT!!! I knew Too could do it. :-)
