Holy Huge Head in my Ribs!


34 weeks today and not much to write home about. My Dr. appointment was absolutely forgettable. He did seem very unhappy with the breech princess. He said he'll give it 2 more weeks and then we get to pick her birthday!

Nursery is finally painted pretty and pink! It's very cute. We made a good choice.

I'm still not sleeping well and no sleep + 16 five year olds = terrifying at 7:30 in the morning.

I have to share that I made my craziest pregnancy purchase thus far...I have been craving ice and peppermint for some odd reason. So I'm in BJ's buying in bulk and I run across a bag of 500...yes 500 peppermint candies. The only logical thing to do at the time is to indulge the craving and buy the 500 peppermints so I could eat....2. That's all. So if anyone is on the lookout for peppermint candies, Casa de Carney has a lifetime supply.

So, other than that, nothing much to report. I'll be spending most of my time standing on my head...and waiting. The word of the week is...TURN!

Breech Babies and Bedrooms

Ok so I had my 32 week appointment today and.....still breech! I knew she was. I can feel her head digging into the top of my belly. My doctor said we give it until 35 weeks and then we talk about either turning her or doing the big C! If he tries to turn her, it will be at 36 or 37 weeks. It's done in the hospital and I would be prepped for surgery just in case something goes wrong and they have to get her out. There's a 75% success rate and if she turns I would be induced that week. If I choose not to do the procedure, we schedule a C-Section for 39 weeks...or maybe she'll just turn on her own! That would be nice but she hasn't moved the whole time...stubborn baby! So it's starting to look like we're not having and April baby. Stay tuned!
The nursery is in progress! We have 1 pink wall and the furniture is assembled and very cute. Now we just need to decide to paint the rest of the nursery pink or spice up the other walls a bit.
