So, while I spent a good deal of yesterday quietly celebrating Too's newfound position, I had to consciously tell myself not to worry about any flipping the baby may or may not do. It was hard because late in the day, I started feeling what I have been labeling "the head" again in my side. But I'm trying my best to put it out of my mind and just trust the doctor. There's a reason she went to school for a million years, right? Besides, it might not even be a head, maybe it's a knee... I give up!

Either way, I am shockingly excited about the probability of a regular old "baby canon" type birth and will start planning accordingly until I hear anything different.

I guess in the next couple of weeks I should think about packing The Bag. I took way too much stuff last time that I didn't need and not enough stuff that I did need, so I'm keeping it to just the basics this time.

And now I know things like: A flannel night shirt? NOT so much a good idea. (hey, no one warned me about the night sweats!!) I think I'll probably just stick with the hospital issue gown this time or a nice, cheap pair of pj's from Old Navy or something.

I also won't be taking diapers or giant maxipads (heh, what's the difference, really?) since the hospital provides both... binkies, yes (so Too doesn't get attached to that ugly, hard-to-replace hospital one), coming home outfit, MATERNITY/stretchy clothes for me (made that mistake last time too), toiletries and FOOD. I will not be stuck in my room at 4a.m. wide awake and starving again while helplessly waiting for the hospital tray! I heard a rumor that food is available 24-7 on the mother/baby unit at my hospital, but no one mentioned it last time, so I'm not sure how that works. I just know I was awake and hungry several nights in a row!

It's very weird that I am suddenly this close to THE END. In only four weeks it will be a "could be any minute" scenario... I hate not knowing how it will play out, but that's just the control freak in me. As much as that part of me would like to be induced again, I think it's probably best I just wait it out this time... we shall see what happens!
