Flipper

I have to admit, the last two weeks of contemplating a planned c-section had me believing that hey, that wouldn't be too bad!  36 hour labor compared to a 15 minute surgery?  Knowing when the baby would be born instead of having to wait and wait and wait...  Being done with this whole baby having business in two weeks instead of the prospect of being pregnant for another month?  When I was told at this morning's appointment that the baby is now head down again, I almost cried.



The baby is really high up right now and my amniotic fluid levels are high, so there's still a chance he could flip again considering he's so active lately.  The good news is I'm dilating, if you can count one centimeter as dilated.  I can safely have this baby any second now, so I'm starting a list of all of the activities I can engage in to get labor started immediately.  Long hikes, driving along bumpy roads, eating spicy foods, marathon sex... None of this worked last time, but damn if I'm not going to give it my best try!
