tim and i had an appointment with our midwife this afternoon. the appointment went really well. i do not have gestational diabetes - that's nice. and the baby's heartbeat sounded good and my blood pressure was great.
however...
our baby is most certainly a knipp. the baby is currently in the breech position. and, as my mom pointed out, it makes perfect sense that a knipp baby would wait until the last possible moment to get ready to go. i think a latimer baby would have been head down for weeks now. but no. we have an active, knipp baby on our hands. :) who i am sure at the last possible moment, long past my comfort level, will get ready to enter the world.
the midwife said flying should help, as babies often turn in the air. and baby and i will be on four flights between now and our next appointment. the midwife wasn't too concerned as 25% of babies are breech at this point in the pregnancy, but if the baby is not head down by our next appointment we will go in for an ultrasound.
i would greatly appreciate your prayers that the baby has enough latimer in him/her to turn between now and our next appointment. and that i would claim my knipp name and relax about it. :)

i will be praying that the baby flips...but i have known many babies to flip days before birth as well...so that is probably what your knipp baby will do :)
High school friends of Tim's just had a baby who flipped 4 days before their scheduled c-section. Read about it on their blog...

Unfortunately, my daughter Keelin never flipped and I had to have a c-section.
However your baby has to enter this world, just pray it is safely! Prayers for both of you!
