Turn, baby, turn!

At my weekly OB appointment last week, baby #3 was head down and looking great. This week...totally had flipped to breech. I've never had a baby flip on me this late in the game, and it's making me a nervous wreck! At my doctor's recommendation, I've been trying  inversions, hands and knees poses, playing music for low belly, flashlight and Daniel talking down there, etc.   Due to my "advanced maternal age" I get an ultrasound every week now, so we'll see next Wednesday if she's cooperated.  She had hiccups early this morning, so from that, it appears she's still head up.  If she doesn't turn by week 37 (2 weeks!), my doctor will attempt an ECV at the hospital.  This can sometimes cause labor to start or break water, so really hope we don't have to go that route.  Glad it's a least an option to try if she doesn't cooperate.  I'm going to be so disappointed if I end up having to have a section after 2 natural childbirths, so say a prayer for my baby girl to turn please!

Christmas, birthday, new years!

Another Christmas break has come and gone.  This year we stayed on the road from the 23rd to the 1st. It was fun, but exhausting! Here comes lots of pics.

We started our trip in Ocean Springs with Daniel's family.  The kids enjoyed spending time with their Nanna and their Martin cousins. Evie's currently outnumbered on the Martin side, but with baby sister and a new baby GIRL cousin coming soon, next year will be even!

Sums up this Christmas for Evie: pink and princess 

On Christmas Day, we loaded back up to go to Mobile to stay with my older sister and her family. I got basically no pictures while there other than from Evie's 3rd birthday celebration.  My awesome sister ordered her cake from Publix, and it was so cheap and so delicious! I love a low-key family birthday. Evie told me she wanted a pink, sparkle birthday, so I ordered her party dress and we got a pink cake...done and done. She was very proud of both. My little three-nager just seems so grown up, but she's still an excellent snuggler and hugger.

After two days in Mobile we loaded up again to head to Seaside for our annual New Years trip with friends.  As usual we had a little bit of all seasons while there, but started the trip with warm and sunny temps for some beach time. It cooled down the second half of our trip, but not cold enough to stop our walks, bike rides, and beach time.

Baby #3 just about prevented my jacket from zipping. 

Looking forward to what 2017 brings. Lots of changes coming our way!
