I had a prenatal appointment last Wednesday, Jan. 12th, here at home. Everything looks good. Jayme and Amber (doula and midwifery assistant) had a listen to babe with Amber's new pinard horn. Very cool. FHR was in the 140s. The belly was measuring 34 weeks, and I was up 1.5 lbs from the previous appointment 2 weeks before, which wasn't too bad, considering I'd been eating like a pig all Christmas. Oh, and baby was definitely head down.
Now, however, baby is almost definitely head up. Baby just had hiccups, and I was feeling them way up high. And there was a ton of uncomfortable movement earlier today, so that could have been when Trouble flipped. I really, really hope that this is a temporary situation and Trouble settled head down again soon. Otherwise, this could throw a monkey wrench into our home birth plans.
On a more positive note, I've started my Hypnobabies home study. I don't know how well it's going to go. The only time I really have to get into it is after Jesse's in bed and housework is done, and by then I'm sleepy and fall asleep listening to the scripts. I'm hoping I can get into a routine of going to sleep earlier and waking up before Jesse so that I can do it in the morning instead. That would definitely be optimal.
And on an even more positive note, I have a TON of new dipes coming! So exciting!!! In addition to having several of Jesse's BG 3.0s converted into snaps, I have a bunch of new BG 4.0s coming, along with some Swaddlebees Mini Nappies, which most definitely should fit trouble from birth. I cannot wait to cloth diaper this new baby. When I started with Jesse I knew very little about CDing and was pretty intimidated by all the options. This time I've gone a bit crazy. Oh, and did I mention I received a wonderful gift of gorgeous handknit newborn longies?! So, so, so exciting!
Oh, and finally, here's this week's belly. Please excuse the messy hair and no make-up. It's been a lazy kind of a day.
