On my way to the appointment this morning, I was talking to my mom on the phone about my fear. As she has for the past few weeks, she reassured me and told me not to worry. I hung up with her and was deep in thought and heard the words, "Let Faith Arise" belting out of the radio. I couldn't help but smile and tell God - "Ok, I hear you-take this worry off of my shoulders." - and I immediately felt better.
When I got there I told them my concerns about her being breech and they were feeling around with the doppler trying to get a heartbeat. Two people tried and couldn't get it, but I had just felt her moving so I wasn't worried at all. He sent me across the hall for a quick ultrasound to get the heart rate and check her position.
I almost cried when she put the wand on my belly and we could see that she is indeed head down and ready to go! She also picked up the heartbeat and all looks well. I'm excited to announce that baby is still a girl-phew! :)
The doctor came back in and did the test for GBS and checked my cervix. I'm 3cm dilated and 60% effaced - so this pregnancy seems to be going on the same track as my last two! I can't even express how much more relieved I feel and I'm going to be doing a better job at letting faith arise and remembering to hand my worries over to God.
I don't have a picture from this week yet, but here is a picture from Friday. I was 35 weeks 3 days(I don't have a 35 week sticker).

That is great! You look adorable!
Congrats! You do look gorgeous. I remember that fear- it's the worst feeling in the world. Glad to hear that all is well.
Phew! That is all good news!
You look so cute! I'm glad that your baby girl is doing well and is in the right position. It's so hard sometimes NOT to worry about your baby; I think it's a natural instinct. :)
You look wonderful! What a pretty picture!
I was really worried about my last being breech because I could feel him flipping around all the time but all the worry was for nothing. You do have to let go and let God about these things!
YOu look so cute!! What great news!
Yay that must be so relieving! Look how cute you are:)
Yay! Glad you had a good appt. I've been terrified that this baby is breech, too. It was breech at the 20 week u/s - and clearly moves a ton in the second half - but until that it hadn't even occurred to me to worry about it. At my appt today the doc said he thinks baby is head down. Now, it just needs to stay there!
I was terrified, too, that this baby was breech (well, she was until like 34 weeks)...so glad your little girl flipped for you.
(And, see, I'm at 39 weeks, pretty much not effaced at all and not dilated...watch you have her before I do!)
Oh I am so happy things turned out great. I recently have had a new found faith, never having been raised on religion, I have seen just what praying and having some faith can achieve! Hugs to you for this fabulous news!
That's great news! And congrats on being dialated & effaced already. She'll be here so soon.
Looking great! Go Mama, go!
First off you look amazing as always! And secondly Praise The Lord that babygirl is head down. I've had 3 external versions (didn't hurt one bit but was amazing to see him turn) because my 4th wouldn't stop flipping =). Prayers for a safe and speedy delivery. And thanks for sharing that song I always sing along when it comes on the radio =)
I know you are relieved! God is good!
BTW, you are sooooo t.i.n.y. I am 30 wks and my bump outstretches your by a mile. :-)
Always love it when people share what God is saying to them. I am glad that she has turned and she will be here soon.
Whew you are doing great.
love! So glad she's head down! Can't believe you're so close!! I also can't believe how long it's been since I've commented on here! Goodness! If I haven't yet said it CONGRATS on your soon to be third little one!
I know you're a great mommy, but seriously you are a BEAUtiful mommy! Hope you enjoy these last few weeks and keep calm. Such an amazing time for all the moms out there due soon:) God is good! I have two new grandbabies, one 3 months and one just two weeks older. It's so amazing to have seen them grow already. I even got to be present at one of the births (the other came very early and was by c section). What an honor to witness what miracle every life is!
I'm so glad everything is going great! I am a big worrier too...it something I really need to work on! You are getting so close! I can't wait to see pics of your cute new bundle and find out what name you've picked:)
I'm very happy to hear your baby is in the right position and your worries are lifted. You look great!
Isn't it the best when you let go like that. It's truly an instant calm, and I'm so glad that the ultrasound showed she's positioned head down and all signs point to go.
That is wonderful!!
aw, yay! you look adorable!
