4.24.17 - Butthead

Recently I was a little concerned that Jane might be breech. It's easy to tell when she is moving arms or legs because they are smaller masses and faster movements. But then she would also push against my abdomen in a slower way with a part of her that was much larger--I assumed her head. And since she was pushing near the top of my abdomen, and since her limbs were more to my left side, I was worried she might be breech.

But when I went for my 37-week checkup (belated 36-week checkup) last week, the ultrasound confirmed she's the right orientation, and the part of her I thought was her head is actually her butt!

Now every time she pushes against me, Jack and I think it's funny because she's wriggling her butt. Last night I was sitting on the living room couch while Jack was cleaning the kitchen, and he was amused/delighted to say he could see her sticking her butt up from there. Haha.

In other good news, apparently she is about average size. She feels massive with very little room left in me for her to move around, but I guess babies typically feel like that this late in the game. Throughout the day I continually push her legs (or arms?) back away from the surface because she makes me uncomfortable. But it's nice to know she's moving around plenty.
