Here's the update from our final ultrasound ; babies are a healthy 5 lbs 8 ozs and 5 lbs 4 ozs! The big question today was whether our baby girl (baby A) who was sitting lowest and therefore due to be born first was still breech (head down). Given that she has been that way for the last 3 months I figured it was a no brainer that she would have stayed that way. Apparently not. She has flipped,and is now head down. Her brother, who was head down or transverse all along has also flipped! He's now feet down. How did that all happen without me being aware?? Lots of time floating in the pool I guess! So, if baby a is head down, no more planned c section, right? Wrong! In a surprise move, baby b (our boy ) managed to wiggle underneath baby a for the first time since week 9! So since he has flipped to a feet down position we are still lined up for a c section, date to be determined at next Monday's doctor's appointment. It was a very exciting ultrasound visit. I don't trust these wiggle worms in the slightest though now, and intend on dusting off my old prenatal class notes in case this labour turns out to happen the old fashioned way...
