So tonight I got the third opinion (and actually a fourth, as two of the midwives were examining me), and they are certain that baby is indeed head-down, all ready for a regular delivery. I'm very glad to know that; although having a breech baby for the next few weeks might have made me feel like I had gotten the "complete pregnancy experience," the thought that baby might not turn back around in time for delivery was not appealing. So...good, baby! You're already listening to what your mum tells you!
In other news, last night Kika peed on the dining room floor right in front of me. To top it off, I was paying bills, had just finished watching last week's episode of "House" (still won't ruin it for those who saw it, but it's a tearjerker!), and had also just finished watching Susan Boyles stun the smirk off of Britain's collective faces with her beautiful bravatto. So, in any case, I was already near tears as I was writing out the check to the power company; hearing the none-too-welcome sound of pee hitting floor did nothing to pick up my spirits. I was p-ssed! I yelled at her then picked her up and made her go outside. I dropped her a little too far from the ground, though, and I think I sprained her little leg because she was limping the rest of the night, which made me want to cry even more, so I snuggled with my little 14-year old in bed for the rest of the night. Today, she pooped her way through two diapers. I had to bathe her each time, so now she's smelling of peppermint shampoo while I deliberate doing a load of laundry before bed.
*sigh*
I don't think I have anything left to say. Good night.

I had a breech baby. I do feel like I don't totally know what it feels like to have the whole natural birth experience, but I'm overall, pretty okay with that. I got the breech experience! Aside from the delivery, I got a bruise in my rib for months afterward from that big head being wedged up there!! It also consisted of arriving at the hospital at 12:30 a.m. or 1, at 2 a.m. finding out my water had, indeed, broken and Max being born via C-section at 3:23 or was it 3:27 I don't know! Oh my, what kind of mom am I? Anyway....So that was my experience... The c-section was way easier overall than I expected and I truly don't feel like I missed all that much. I would like to try for a VBAC for the next one, but seriously, the c-section was so easy, I think I might be crazy to think about that (and this is from a semi-granola girl who is still nursing at 20 months!!)
Oh man that sounds like a bad night.
You're doing a great job keeping up with the Needy Ones in your house. You'll be a good Mommy.
