Flip Flopping

So little man was breech again today at my 36 week appointment, and I am measuring small.  I measure 33 weeks.  He knows I measured small with Chesney, so that doesn't seem to be a big deal at this point.  The doctor talked about doing a version (flipping procedure) and due to the busy holiday schedule, he decided to have me come back a few hours after my office appointment.  

Good thing we are ready around our house.  I ran home for about one hour and packed a bag for Chesney and myself and put the car seat, baby's bag and camera in the car (just in case I went into labor or had to have a c-section) and then headed back to the hospital.  Thanks to grandpa for taking Chesney with VERY little notice today!

When I arrived at the hospital, they checked the baby on ultrasound where he is measuring 35 weeks and confirmed he was indeed breech.  After an injection of medication to relax the uterus, the doctor pushed and pulled on my stomach and flipped the little guy head down.  And yes, the procedure is painful.  But it's kind of like labor, after you're done you think "I could do that again."  He said to expect to be sore for a few days and possibly have bruising on my stomach.  

I sure hope this little guy stays in the right spot now.  We are getting a little anxious to meet him (especially Chesney).  Chesney was talking to my belly before I left today and said the baby was "packing it up to drive out."  Less than 4 weeks, and we will be going to the hospital in labor.  Can't wait!!
