Babies turned south

I had a Dr's appointment yesterday, and it appears the baby has turned south already. This would really explain a lot.
1. My boobs aren't resting on my belly anymore
2. Increased potty breaks at night
3. Pressure of the baby
4. Movement I feel on the top of my belly, crazy kicks that make my belly shake from the outside
5. And the hiccups I feel down low

The doctor is going to do an ultrasound at the next appointment to make sure, baby can always turn back if he wants. But for now hes head down.

We started our two night childbirth prep classes last week. I didn't know what to expect, but we both really liked it. The class is forcing us to talk about the actual birth (scary!) I'm not into birth plans, I think they can make someone disappointed if things don't go according to plan. Our plan right now is a healthy baby healthy mom. Our childbirth instructor (Doula) said the same thing! Right then I knew I liked her realistic attitude. We practiced breathing techniques, and relaxation. Andrew was so supportive, and really got into the exercises. Hopefully we can get through it together without the epidural, but if not we are fine with that too.

Your baby rivals a good-size cabbage in weight, tipping the scales this week at 3 pounds. (Length: about 15 3/4 inches, head to heel.)
