As if this little boy hasn't caused enough trouble already! I went for my 28 week appointment today and discovered that my head-down little man is now in the frank breech position (rear end down with his legs up and feet by his ears). My doctor said there is still plenty of time for him to flip back, and the ultrasound tech said that I have a lot of amniotic fluid, which will aid in helping him flip. But good grief! I've just had a feeling through this whole pregnancy that he is going to be breech at term, and I'm going to have a c-section after having two great regular deliveries. I did a little research online when I got home and I read that 25% of babies are breech at 28-32 weeks and only 3% are breech at delivery. So here's to praying that we aren't part of that 3%!
I also found out today that I tested positive for Group B Strep, which isn't a big deal. I just have to be on an antibiotic when I deliver him.
So far with this pregnancy I felt worse at the beginning, had the subchorionic hematoma and 8 weeks of bed rest, he had a hot spot on this heart at 20 weeks (which meant nothing and is now gone), he is breech, and I tested positive for Group B Strep. I've decided I like being pregnant with girls better! :-)

Presley was a whole lot of trouble on the inside but an absolute angel on the outside (so far at least!!) so here's hoping Will follows suit! :)
