Okay so yesterday I had a sonogram appointment and I got to see baby girl. She's still breech and she even has one arm up by her head. Well she's been poking me with that arm in my ribs all day! The doctor says she's 2 pounds and 10 ounces. He also said that my cervix is still open but that it got longer. My friend broke it down for me because I didn't understand. You know the part in a balloon you blow into? That is like the cervix. Its open (enough to blow into) but its long like when the balloon is deflated. As you inflate the balloon it gets shorter. Got it? Anyway the Doc also wants to change my due date to the 24th of October. Remember in the beginning of my pregnancy I said I would keep the 21st in mind? Well the 21st is right in between my original due date of the 18th and my new due date of the 24th, so right now I'm 29 weeks. Doc said I may be able to go back to work at 32 weeks. I sure hope so! If baby goes to full term then I can work 8 weeks (2 months) before I give birth! That's 3 more weeks! I also learned of some tricks to get the baby to flip from the breeched position! Putting a cold pack on her head, laying with my feet propped up real high, pointing a flashlight on my lower belly, and cart wheels! I'll probably try those out around week 32! I have a friend that did cart wheels for a week straight and her baby flipped! So we'll see how stubborn Keira is in a few weeks!
