Baby Update
Well, I don't know why I'm posting an update because not much is new in the baby department other than I just keep getting bigger and bigger. I even had someone ask me if I was sure I'm not having twins. Yep. Definitely sure of that. He's definitely taking up his fair share of my lungs too. It depends on the day, but 3 out of 7 days of the week I can never seem to get a full breath of air. It feels like I'm having an asthma attack. The doctor simply said the only way to relieve this is DELIVERY. Great. At least its not constant and this baby does give me some breaks. I did go to the doctor today, he checked me to see if I was dilated at all, and I'm not. No surprise there. He said that's normal for this point in pregnancy and if I was then its just an 'added bonus'. Who knows if I'll even be able to deliver this baby, he checked his position and currently the baby is laying SIDEWAYS. Like he's in a hammock. He said he still has time to move, but if he doesn't its a definite c-section. So we're hoping he gets out of his comfy hammock and moves down!

i think babies always have to make an entrance, so maybe this is his!! don't worry things always turn out!! keep us posted, i love to hear whats going on!!
Wow, You are getting close. I talked to your mom the other day. She was telling me of her plans to visit. Hang in there. It will be over soon. The last few weeks are always the hardest. Take Care and good luck. I hope the baby moves for ya. I think there are exercises that you can do to encourage the little man to move to the right spot.
I feel for you. Pregnancy is SO uncomfortable, but the results are so worth it! Good luck!
Babies have strange ways of showing us who is in charge. He will turn for you! Your mom told the name that you picked out for him and I love it. I am excited for him to come.
That little stinker! Hopefully he turns! I can't believe that you are almost due! That's crazy! Don't worry about people thinking your carrying twins. When I was about 6 or 7 months along a lady asked me when I was due. When I told her her eyes got big and she said "Are you sure you not due like tomorrow? You're HUGE!" Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking when they say things ... :)
I am so excited you let us know what was happening with the baby...I have been wondering. Sorry things are getting so uncomfortable...Hopefully the little guy will come out soon and he will turn the right direction first!
Lisa--Now I found your blog! How fun is this? How are you...well I guess I kind of know. This is a great way to keep in touch. If it makes you feel any better my last baby (Korinne) was breech from 28 weeks until 36 and then at 36 she was transverse and then miraculously flipped to the right position by 37 weeks. It was pretty amazing, but I know that that isn't always the case. Luckily the worst that can happen is that you have to have a C-Section. Not all bad! I also need the update on your parents. I am hearing rumors of foreign employment...let me know if you have a chance. Also, maybe your little guy and you will share birthdays! That is pretty cool! My Thomas' birthday is the 3rd and my Robinson's is Oct. 24 two good options for birthdays as well!
Lisa you look so cute with your big belly! I can't believe your almost there, you guys are going to be parents its no longer about you two but about that little boy. Its so fun though and well worth it! Love ya
Crazy, how close you are now. Too funny the way you describe him being in a hammock.
