Head Down!!!!!

YAY!!! I just got back from my 36 week dr. check and the dr. confirmed with an ultrasound that the baby is head down. I'm 2 cm and 80% effaced so we're making progress in the right direction! But again- so excited the baby is head down!!!! I thought for sure she was breech since when I contract there's always a huge bump and a smaller bump on either side of my belly. The dr. did laugh and say- this baby's got a big ole bum to make that big of a bump when you contract. (I was contracting on and off through the exam.) So already truth that she takes after her mama! Haha- just kidding...

Anyways- The good news is I'm pretty safe to make it through YW in Excellence tomorrow which I was kinda stressed about.
So my ultra optomistic guess/hope is that this baby comes anytime between the 20th and the 28th (so I can be home in time for Halloween)
Dan's guess is Nov 1st.
But what will probably happen is we'll be induced on Nov 8th. Anyway you slice it though- we're gonna have baby number 3 here within 3 weeks!!!

Here's a oh so lovely pic of my big ole belly (even a bare belly shot (queasy readers beware haha)). (I look like blah because I was having the WORST allergy attack this morning!!!)

Yea! I'm so excited to see this girl. Have a great three weeks getting ready...that is if she doesn't decided to be a Halloween baby. What a cool birthday that would be :)

My b-day is Nov 2 which is much cooler than the 29! You look super cute w/ your big 'ole belly and tell Scot good job taking the pics. Good luck!
