Today we went to the doctor. I was very blessed to have Kim and Keturah, Molly, and Bethany come along for the day for moral support and company. Both Kim and I had appointments, so it was great to have friends along to watch Keturah, see Josie with me during my ultrasound (who wants to have that experience alone???) and just hang for the day.
The hospital is overall quite nice, as evidenced by this sitting room.
However, I still feel like I need to do breathing exercises just to calm down and not get stressed during my appointments. Everything was fine today we have a healthy baby girl on the wayBut going to BJ is a looooong day- helps to have yummy Mexican food for lunch and to be with friends, but I always manage to come home (left at 7:30 this morning and got back around 6:00 pm) totally wiped out. So, Mol and I are enjoying a nice quiet evening at home.
Dave comes back tomorrow night/Monday morning at 3 am from Thailand, so it will be nice to have him home for 2 days before he travels again from next Wednesday till Sunday planning the Spring trip for our 12th grade class. At least he doesn't have to go on the spring trips with the students which happen to fall when I'm 38 weeks along!
Here's a latest ultrasound picture.
Josie has completely changed positions for each and every ultrasound. 2 nights ago her legs were definitely kicking on my left side, and now her back and butt on on the left side with feet on the right side! A 180 deg. rotation! The blob on her head is actually the placenta, which continues to rise and is completely out of the danger zone and totally normal right now. Her head is pressing up on my lungs if that gives any indication of just how far that placenta has moved over the past month! The boney looking thing by her chin is her wrist bent over with her hand toward her. You can kind of make out the face, but it's a little bumpy which I don't think it will look like in real life. Can't say I can tell who she resembles right now, but probably a mix of the two of us. She seems to be long and lean so far so that might give some indication!

Actually, it feels like she's doing a big roll right now! I'm getting used to going to sleep with her kicks and movement... Dave puts his hand on my belly and feels her kick, and then falls asleep with and begins his own twitching-- so both of them are moving around outside and inside of me.. makes for an interesting night of sleep (I find it interesting I've slept completely though the night the last 2 nights when Dave has been gone!) I feel like like I could sleep right now which is probably a hint I should try:) Good night
