Thank you for your prayers and thoughts


Sorry for the not so great picture, we don't have a scanner and my mom insisted I send her a picture of the pictures....

I found out yesterday that our little man has turned himself right around. He is where he is supposed to be (head down!) but that doesn't mean I am comfortable! This little stinker is taking up quite a bit of room right now. Holy moly, I feel utterly balloonish- about to pop balloonish. Thanks to everyone who sent kind wishes and thoughts, I think they worked. I did so many of those weird yoga-like exercises I think my face is permanently red from the blood rushing to my head.

I am going back next week for yet another ultrasound to see if I have too much amniotic fluid. I guess that is a completely different problem that we might be facing. I spent last night researching causes and problems and the like, I won't go into it here but I am praying this is not a cause for alarm. I definitely hate this waiting/worrying game of weekly checkups but on the plus side, I had my first "3-D" ultrasound yesterday. Oh my goodness, if you never had one they are simply amazing. I saw our little guy's face, hair, cheeks, everything. Three of the pictures up there are the 3-D kind, his arm was over his face and he wasn't moving it for anything and he looks like he is swimming, well 'cos he is I guess. Big tall hubby and I both think he looks like Tanner so far. Hard to believe we can tell but those lips are definitely Tanner's. Only three more weeks to go, hopefully my check next week will show no problems/concerns. We still haven't narrowed down a name! We are terrible. Poor baby, Zoe just calls him "Peanut."

Thanks again for all your support.

Zach was a "peanut" too. And a July baby :)

So glad he turned.
