Two more things:

1 - The doctor this morning thought the baby was head down.  Yay!  When they check at 36 weeks, if the baby is not head down or if they can't tell, they may do an ultrasound to be sure.  If she is breech at that time, they may try to manually turn her and if that doesn't work, we may need to discuss a scheduled cesarean.  Depending on what type of breech she is (there are like 5 types) a cesarean may be necessary.  Some breech babies can be born vaginally but not all.  So, keep your fingers crossed that she stays head down.

2 - Lisa told me today that she thinks I may have dropped or at least started dropping.  I have needed to use the restroom more often lately which can be a sign you've dropped but I didn't think I had.  I definitely need to take a picture now to compare with the 30 week picture!  Usually babies don't drop until 2-4 weeks before delivery for first time moms.  With repeat pregnancies, the baby sometimes won't drop until you're almost ready to deliver.  So, I would be a bit early in dropping now since we're still 6 weeks (ok, maybe 5) from the due date.  But wouldn't that be great if she was born sometime between 37 and 40 weeks!
