Happy New Year! Although the year started off with a family loss, we are looking forward to the upcoming birth of our little one. I'm at 36 weeks, 5 days now. Occasionally I will feel nauseated again, especially if I am trapped on BART or in a car for too long. I did have a bout of stomach flu in December but I don't think it was related.
I feel the baby move regularly and she is breech still (at the last antenatal appointment). She'll push out my belly in the upper right-hand side with her feet. She is already not listening to her parents who keep telling her to turn head down now! I am really hoping she will on her own so I won't need the external versioning or a c-section. I went to a chiropractor to align my hips and pelvis, and while I felt her move during the Webster Technique, I still think she's head up, butt down. :-( I will find out on Wednesday what my next step is. I plan on signing up for acupuncture and moxibustion before I have to get the versioning, although the versioning will need to be scheduled.
Wedding in California? Check. Marriage to a wonderful man? Check. Trying to have a baby after age 35? Check. This is the journey.

- A former New Jerseyite, Lori followed the directive to "Go, West!" before the turn of the century. She had gotten married, lost her mother to cancer, and had a baby girl (who is now a preschooler), before Lori realized that she didn't know what the hell she was doing. She is still trying to figure that thing called work-life balance. "One Little Girl Grows Up" is her journey as a mother who lost her own mother. She hopes you will bear with her.
