baby update

baby update!
today I had an appointment with the midwives at the hospital, and after some tummy squeezing and a sonogram it was determined that the baby has turned!! YAY! she was breeched on the last check, and we were anxiously waiting for her to turn into a head-down position. I did a few weird things over the last couple of weeks to hopefully help her move, like watching TV on all 4s, propping my hips up with pillows, using the yoga ball, and even accupunture. I am glad something worked. :-)
Now it is just a waiting game i guess. I have an appointment with my dr next week, and then probably another one a couple of weeks later, and then, hopefully i will go into labor and go directly to the hospital!
OMG!

the baby currently weighs 2.600 kg, but the dr said she'll probably be over 3kgs by the due date (big baby!)

Last weekend we bought a changing table/dresser, and have already assembled it and bolted it to the wall. The baby clothes are washed and folded, and the hospital bag is by the bed. I think we are as ready as we're going to be!
