-18 Weeks, post-appointment

We are in for it with this baby. I am already so in love with how stubborn this little one is.

When I lay down for the ultrasound, the technician immediately said, "Oh, the baby is breech. There's plenty of time to turn around, but the way they are laying is going to make it hard to get this picture." She could take lots of pictures of the heart, but the specific one she wanted was hard to get. It took a good hour of her poking and prodding, then me laying on my left side, trying to get Baby J to roll over. Eventually, things turned and she was able to get the picture. Since that was all they needed, we didn't get any pictures, but oh well. I have lots already and will be getting more when they start doing monthly growth scans. Afterward, for about 2 hours, the baby let me know it did NOT appreciate someone poking and prodding them by rolling and kicking. I think I felt more strong movement today than I have the whole time!

Stephen was breech, so he is really enjoying how stubborn his niece/nephew is. I'm hoping the baby turns because I'd really like to go naturally instead of having a cesarean.

I managed to get in a nap this evening when I got home and it was awesome. Dex has been a difficult drug this time around. I'm just hoping the weekend passes quickly.
