i had a great appointment this week with an ob that needed to sign off on my vbac since i'm seeing a regular general practioner, dr. mallory, for my prental care and she'll be delivering walter. anyways, dr. anderson was very sweet. i have the green light. and since i was measuring 31 weeks at my last appointment (25w3d), i asked her to measure me. i was 28w6d and measured 30!!! i know his position can really skew those measurements, so i asked her to feel how he was laying. the little guy is now tranverse (sideways) with his head on my lower right, feet on lower right, and looking up at me. he's got until 36 weeks to go back to his correct position of head down!
and since i feel like we have so much to do in the next 11 (or less!!!) weeks, i have a wonderful list going.
