Starting week 34!



This week was interesting because we just found out baby is breech. At first I was really sad and Joao was so cute and supportive. But after having some time to think about it I realized that everything will work out for the best. Although the idea of having a c-section kills me...what am I going to do? All we really care about in the end is a healthy baby! So that means I need to do whatever it takes regardless of my 'birth plan'.
Anyway- we are trying some new and interesting approaches/exercises to help baby move down. The first one requires me to lay off the couch upside down at an angle. Then I put a cold bag of peas on the head and a hot towel where I want the head to be...and I do this for about 20 minutes! It gives me a killer headache! Then I lay around watching t.v. on all fours allowing gravity to do its' magic! So hopefully with these things and positive thinking baby will move into the downward position! I have to say, I am starting to get really excited to see baby Norona! I can't believe it's 7 weeks away! OMG! I try to imagine how the first few minutes will be and I just get chills thinking about it. I love the concept that Joao and I really have created something that is growing inside me...what an amazing process! Well that's it for this week!
