Well, as promised, here is your 37 week update sans picture however :( My camera cord is having issues so it won't let me upload pics onto the computer which is disappointing because I had a super cute 37 week shot to put up. Picture aside, things are going well and I have some great news to report. It has been confirmed that I will be having this baby at home with my favorite midwives...the same ones that delivered Elijah. I cannot describe the peace that accompanies this decision. The entire thing is a huge faith issue really, so we're just trusting God and plowing through. The baby is definitely low as my midwife was only able to feel neck when checking for the head (not a big surprise to me as I've had a lot of pressure!). Baby was also posterior at the beginning of the appointment, but by the time we left her back was on the left side and she'd turned a bit which is right where she should be. This was good to hear. Hopefully she stays that way and/or gets in that position during labor. I'd rather not have a sunny side up baby if i can help it =) My midwives come for their home visit tomorrow and then we're all set to have the baby. I just keep repeating to myself that "the day she comes is the perfect day" as I am so excited for her to be here. I want to see this little wonder that's been growing inside for the last 9 months. I can't wait to see those precious feet that poke out of my stomach all the time, or kiss those most likely dimpled cheeks (that is, if she has any Rader in her at all!), or put her in the adorable outfits I have sitting all washed and ready in the nursery. I am willing her to come!!! I wonder if she's listening???

What wonderful news, Jess! I heaved a big sigh of relief when I read that. I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to see an "Introducing..." post!!
How much of a relief is THAT, hey?! I am still guessing Saturday. Can't wait!!! I still am so excited that you got your girl!!!!! Remember to keep doing those excersies I told you to get her turned around...and even doing IN labor (because she can still turn back), and it helps a lot with the pain...especially if you get back labor.
How wonderful for you and your baby, a home birth congratulations! I can't wait to read your birth story. It will be soon now.....for both of us. I too can't wait to see and hold my sweet baby girls!
Oooohhh. Saturday. I like that day.
I am soooo happy for you that you get to have a home birth like you want to!! I am also glad that you are ready for her to be here! Good luck, please keep me updated!! :)
AAAAHH!!! I am SO excited for you to have a home birth once again! I know how badly you have wanted this. Once you go home it's really hard to go back to hospital. Yea for you and baby Avi!
I am so glad you get to have your home birth!!!
