I had an okay OB doctor checkup last Thursday. During our trip to Mexico, I had a lot of pain in my belly from all the walking that we did. I asked the doctor about it and he said that since this was our 2nd baby that many women feel braxton hicks contractions more with their second child. The doctor felt around my belly and told me that the baby is breach right now. He is laying sideways with his head on my right and his bottom on my left. (That would explain all the discomfort I am feeling near my ribs I guess.) The doctor said that most babies turn on their own before delivery.
Since I have been so uncomfortable, I told the doctor I wanted to change my due date to the date that the sonogram showed when we found out the sex of the baby. He laughed and thought that was funny. He asked why I wanted to change it from 9/15 to 9/11 and I told him that I wanted to look forward to the closest date possible! He said that he was going to keep the date set at 9/15 against my wishes. Darn!
The baby's heartbeat was 144 bpm.
PREDICTION: This baby will arrive by September 7th!
We have all been sick for the past week and it has been miserable! Ethan has been sleeping so much to feel better. Two nights in a row he slept 15 hours! I should try wearing a diaper so that I can sleep for 15 hours! Ha Ha!
