This week Mamacita and I have had a project. We've got to turn our baby girl around before it's time for her to come out and meet us. Thanks to Google, we found probably 50 different techniques for turning around a breech baby. We decided to try all of them.
So, at various points this week, a fly on the wall would have seen the following:
-Mamacita laying with her shoulders on the floor and her backside on the couch
-Daddy P holding an ice pack to her belly in the place where baby Kate's head has been positioned
-Either of us flashing an laser pointer at the point on Mamacita's belly where we are trying to entice Kate to end up
-Daddy P singing to the bottom of Mamacita's belly (this one seems the least likely to entice anyone to do anything)
And yes, all of these things are happening at the same time. Next up: acupuncture and some crazy special candle that you put on Mamacita's toes.
Hopefully more drastic measures won't have to be taken. Kate seems to be responding either to our methods described above or to the constant poking she is getting as we compulsively try to figure out where she is. This past week she has abandoned her pike position that she had maintained for the last 2 months. Mamacita is feeling kicks and movements in entirely new places and much stronger than before. We won't find out if she is positioned correctly or not for another week or so, but we are encouraged. More to come later...
