40 weeks (and still counting)

Like the Energizer bunny, we're still going...

Nancy had her weekly midwife appointment yesterday. Everything checked out normal. The midwife is estimating the baby is probably somewhere around 7 1/2 pounds right now. Some great news was that the baby had turned back around to an anterior position! As long as the baby stays facing Nancy's back, this will reduce the amount of labor and sometimes even the degree of pain.

Nancy's been working really hard on sitting in positions that promote this position for the baby. I think what was really helpful was seeing the Chiropractor on Monday which loosened some ligaments and created a little more room for the baby to move. There's just so little room left now.

Nancy saw the Chiropractor again yesterday after our midwife appointment. Today, she has her weekly acupuncture appointment. Last night she was feeling a little crampy during some of her braxton-hicks contractions.

So, it seems things are continuing to progress. Tonight's a full moon. Some crazy things happen during full moons!
