I took a doula training workshop this weekend and learned that 80% of babies turn during labor, even if they were sunnyside up before. They figure it out! So excited for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-89194897181325455762013-08-19T09:42:39.474-07:002013-08-19T09:42:39.474-07:00Glad you had a great appointment!

Have you seen the recent stories about 10 and 11 pound babies born in Germany and Spain? And they were born vaginally! Um, no thank you. 8 pounds seems petite compared to that.JenShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056681492831041470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-35018611183343998162013-08-16T01:35:38.368-07:002013-08-16T01:35:38.368-07:00Oh how exciting :) To see his little face, and to ...Oh how exciting :) To see his little face, and to see him yawn.

Of course he's a real baby. Hahah. Silly me. I mean...just seeing him do that is so much more real than the print out black and white photos. Watching him living there inside me.

I haven't had a diagnostic scan (for proper measurements) since early June, but my fundal height has been two weeks ahead for about three weeks now, and the 3D ultrasound tech said that was probably at least in part because I've got a lot of fluid. But I think that's just related to how much water I drink! I definitely upped my intake over the last four weeks, so it's not surprising that my fluid levels have also taken a jump. <br /><br />I agree that you look great in your photos, so I hope you won't worry too much about the carbs!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03644501843801907359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-40674253016692048062013-08-15T18:41:09.847-07:002013-08-15T18:41:09.847-07:00I read the title of this and thought it was going ...I read the title of this and thought it was going to be a post about eating your placenta after delivery - with pasta on the side. Seriously.<br /><br />So glad the placenta has moved and all looks great. I had to giggle at this "Which is ridiculously cute because it looks so much like a real baby just lazily yawning and chilling." Um, that's because he IS a real baby. LOL Hard to believe when they're still in utero, though.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647211529119137824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-28129023084894257852013-08-15T18:03:15.907-07:002013-08-15T18:03:15.907-07:00oh my gosh!! look at that little guy!!

So many people are INCREDIBLY less healthy than you and go on to have perfectly heatlhy babies. Plus, I'm sure lots of women in Italy eat tons of pasta during their pregnancies!
