36 Weeks

This week was a great week! I finished packing up my classroom and studied ocean animals with my 2nd graders.  Kannon and Clark had their PreK graduation on Monday and a field trip on Friday.  They went to a planetarium and butterfly house and Clark is really convinced that "they took a rocketship to outer space".  To be 4 again :)  

My cousin Sarah flew in for the weekend and we had a blast kicking back, swimming, and shopping.  The weather was crazy and we woke up to tornado warnings and lightning on Sunday morning.  In fact there was a tornado just 3 miles from our house!  

We had a home visit with our midwife on Thursday. Baby is great but is still transverse (lying sideways).  I've been doing all sorts of exercises to get this baby to turn!! I think he finally turned but I will confirm next week.

What is baby doing? Head: Your baby is probably in a head-down position by now, which is optimal for a smooth delivery, and the head may be dropping lower into your pelvis.
