Just call her "Frankie"

So far, this little lady is staying frank breech.  We had an ultrasound on Tuesday to check her position, and even though I was hopeful that I was wrong, I could tell that she was in the same orientation as usual.  Her little head is snugged right up against my ribs and not moving anywhere thank-you-very-much.  The tech was able to tell us that her right leg is up near her face, but that her left leg is curled under her, which would explain why I was feeling kicks in a new area, and was a little hopeful that she shifted.  It means that her overall orientation is fairly splayed out, and to me seems a little hard to completely do a 180, but I choose to remain hopeful.  I will continue to play music low on my belly, do lots of helpful yoga poses, and show her the "swim down" clip from Finding Nemo, just in case!  I will also be optimistic enough to take a yoga birthing class on Saturday, just in case she turns.

At this appointment they also did a weight check for the first time, and the Bun is weighing in at a respectable 6 lbs, 15 ounces.  The sonographer projected that she would be 8 lbs by the end, which is right where Jeremy and I both were, so it makes sense.  She kept her face shielded behind her hands during the sonogram, so we don't have any good shots to share this time, but she is still small and precious :-).

The doctor requested another ultrasound to check position on January 9, and they will call me to schedule a C-section for sometime in the week of January 13-17 in the next few days.  I'm hoping I can make it for the 17th to give her as much time as possible to turn, so keep your fingers crossed!
