8+ months (36 weeks) pregnant with a terrible head cold. :(
Wow, what a ride this has been! I can't believe that I am finally weeks away from my due date. It seems like just yesterday that I was calling Bryce at work to tell him that the pee test was positive!
At 36 weeks, baby Tanner is still moving around like crazy inside my belly. Bryce and I could spend hours watching him roll around in there and trying to guess which alien-like lump is which body part.
Next week I will be considered "full term pregnancy" which basically means that he could come at any time. Our last ultrasound, however, showed that he is not very organized when it comes to being ready to go in time (Ahem...might have picked that trait up from Daddy...) He is still in the breech position (head up-feet down) which is cause for considerations in how I might give birth. I could go in as early as next Monday for an External Cephalic Version (ECV) where the doctors manually try to flip him by manipulating my belly. I have heard that this procedure can be very painful, so I'm really hoping that he will move during my daily baby-flipping exercises that I have been assigned. A c-section birth might be the answer if this is unsuccessful. We will know more this Thursday when we go in for our final scheduled ultrasound. Fingers crossed! Head down baby!
