Just got back from my appointment with Becky. Despite the huge amounts of food that I ate last week at Kanuga, I have lost a pound. I can't believe it, but I'm not going to argue with it. Since I started out this pregnancy a bit overweight, Becky is fine with my weight. It appears that the baby is getting all it needs. I'm thinking the weight is coming off from my ring finger because my ring is still spinning, and my thighs don't look to be any smaller! Typical. Deuce's heartrate was in the 130's. I have dropped a little but not too much. The best news of all is that Deuce has turned over. He/she is now head down, butt up! I was pretty sure this was going to be the case today. I have been feeling kicks against my diaphragm which have made me a bit short of breath. This didn't happen before that last ultrasound. I think the baby flipped over the day after that ultrasound. I was in Costco and felt the most unbelievable pain on the left side of my belly. I had to lean on the cart for support. I cannot even imagine what my facial expression was. I was hurting! After 15 or 20 minutes, the pain went away. I am convinced that was when the somersault happened. Whenever it was, Bryant and I are just happy to know Deuce is taxiing to the runway in the correct position. Thank you all for your prayers about this.
On a non-health related note...Just before bedtime Wednesday night, after Bryant had finished reading to him, Reeves came and got on the sofa with me. Deuce was moving all over, so I put Reeves' hand on my belly. He got to feel a really big move, and he recognized it. Something clicked. We honestly think he knew he was feeling something inside Momma's tummy moving, and not just the tummy itself. He was so excited and kept wanting to feel more movements. We loved it.

Yeah! I am so glad s/he moved for you. What a relief. No let's get rolling so we can find out what you've got cookin' in there!
Hallelujah! This is a good sign... that baby is already listening to you. :)
That's all well and good, but just because you won't have a planned C doesn't mean you're off the hook for having this baby Aug 21.
Kak...that is so wonderful that deuce flipped! How about holding off until the 4th of Sept. to have the baby! That sounds like a great date to me! Gives Reeves a BIG hug from his Aunt Ya-Ya (aka LaLa)...we are still working on that one!!!
Yay! So glad that there is one less thing to worry about. I can't believe the day is getting so close... can't wait!!
