Our little contortionist

I asked the ultrasound tech for a copy of this picture

because it made us smile to see his legs folded over his body like this!

Thayne and I ran over last night because my appointment

was first thing this morning to see my OB and for our follow up ultrasound.

I was excited to talk to my OB

and even more excited to see our sweet baby boy again!

He looks awesome and is still perfect size wise!

He is sideways, folded up as you can see!

I love seeing him.

I think when I grow up I want to be an ultrasound tech!

My doctor said that she is willing to do the steroid shots

and that the perinatologist recommended that we deliver

at 36 weeks.

She said in the letter they sent her that it said that I told them

I prefered 37 weeks and she laughed

saying that she could hear me saying that!

She said we will compromise and do 36 and some days...

so it looks like we may be having this little guy around his dad's birthday

instead!

I feel better about it knowing we will do the steroid shots.

I love my doctor.

She teased me that not many people think I am normal,

but she is happy to tell me that I don't freak her out at all.

I told her that it is because I totally trust that if she feels something is up

she will act on it.

She did before,

and I know she will again.

I understand that there are risks,

and I know that we have to deal realistically with the risk of an 11th c-section,

but I also know that this baby is a gift, and his life is meant to be

and I trust that everything will be just as it should be.

We can only do all in our power,

and then we have to trust in a power higher than our own.

I trust that I have done all I can and will continue to do all I can

to protect this baby...

and I cannot wait to hold him!

I cannot wait to see that sweet face that looks so familiar already

in the ultrasound.

He is definitely one of ours!

Amazing how I can love this baby so much already.

And I love seeing the reaction of the kids when I showed them

the ultrasound picture.

This baby is already so loved and so cherished,

but he will probably wish he wasn't so hugged

when he finally gets here!
