She's Turned!

She has officially turned! YAY! What a relief. I know we had "plenty" of time for her to turn but at least this way we know for sure AND I did not want to do an external version. Gabe was able to go to the appointment with me yesterday which made me feel better as well. I think she turned at some point Sunday night or in my sleep. I was telling a couple of my friends yesterday afternoon before I went to the doctor that I think she turned because I wasn't as uncomfortable as I've been the past couple and weeks and she just felt different. And the doctor confirmed it yesterday afternoon!

She took the baby's heartbeat and measured my uterus and said it looks like she's where she should be. So she did a quick ultrasound and her head is sitting low in my uterus verifying that's she where she should be. Baby is healthy and I'm doing A-OK. I didn't gain any weight the past two weeks. Double yay! We'll be going to the doctor weekly from now until baby gets here.

I also got a flu shot and we turned in our birth plan. I asked if Gabe should get one too and the nurse said yes. I tried to score a free flu shot for him while she was giving me mine but she said she couldn't because she's gotten in trouble for giving flu shots to her friends! We were cracking up.

So thank you everyone for all your prayers and good thoughts. She's now being a good little girl!

Yay!! Glad to hear she turned. Don't worry, you'll have the 'terrible twos' and her teen years to make up for being such a good little girl!
