It's a girl... tomorrow, hopefully


So, yesterday was a crazy day. I had some labor pains and ended up going into the hospital, only to find out I was not in fact in labor as I had hoped. In the meantime, they couldn't find the heartbeat in the right place, so they did an ultrasound and the baby is breech. Or, should I say, was breech, because this morning when I went to my appointment the baby was head down. Both positions were confirmed by ultrasound. This baby has been in a different position every time I go to the doctor's -- breech, head down, transverse, oblique... So tomorrow I go in at 7 a.m. for an induction, with the hope the baby stays head down. But who knows at this point!
The only good thing that came out of yesterday's hospital visit is that the ultrasound technician confirmed, with some confidence, that I am indeed carrying a baby girl! So I unpacked all the blue out of my baby bag. Here's a profile picture from yesterday's ultrasound. I'm sure we'll post pictures of the baby once she's officially here!

Hurray!!!! This is terrific news. I'll pray that that kid keeps herself pointed in the right way.

And check out those lips! She's got quite the pair of smackers. She is going to be one beautiful girl, with you as her mom.

Good luck and be sure to let us know how it goes...
