We went in for our sonogram on Wednesday morning. I settled on the table as the technician got everything ready. "I couldn't find our CD anywhere in our house, so I'll need to go ahead and purchase a new one." I tell her. They'll record the sonogram on a CD and give it to me to keep for a small $3 fee.
"Well, at this late stage of the pregnancy, the babies are usually head down, face down, so there's not much to see, but I can go ahead and burn it on a CD for you." She reached for the gel to slather some on my stomach.
"Oh, I don't know that he's turned yet." I point to the huge lump sticking out my right side. "I think that's his butt and his head is over here. I think he's laying sideways."
She placed the sensor on my lower stomach, right above my pelvic bone. "Yup, there's his head. Head down, face down."
I called my mom on the way out to fill her in on the news. "He turned, Mom! I don't know when, but he's head down, face down and in position. He hasn't dropped yet, though. That big lump on my right side is his shoulders, and the smaller lump on my left is his feet. He weights 6 pounds 3 ounces so far."
"That's great! Have you packed your bag yet?"
"No, but I still have two weeks before I'm due and I'm not dilated yet at all. She said that if I go over a week, then we'll look at inducing. I think I'll end up being right on time." I pause a moment while I think about that. "But, then, what do I know? I thought my kid was laying sideways. I'll pack my bag this weekend."
