Spin Baby!

Baby Liam is Mr. Posterior.  He is lying right along my back.  His little bottom should face my belly, instead he is what they call, "Sunny Side Up."  Miss Lanie was posterior as well and she drove me to get my first of three epidurals.  Since Liam will be delivered at home (deep breathe), I am motivated to spin him around.  The pain I have along my back is a big motivator too.  I have been doing research on exercises and stretches and today I went for a fifteen minute walk on the treadmill, something I haven't done in the last six months.  Yep, I plan on hanging upside down tonight, when Billy gets home so he can supervise me, in hopes of re positioning my boy.   Okay, not really hanging, more like getting on my knees on the very end of the couch with my rear facing up and somehow sticking my elbows on the ground.  Billy said he'll help only if I will take a picture and post it.  That's not gonna happen. It's funny how different you feel when you  are in charge, for the most part, of delivering your baby.  Independent and empowering come to mind, as well as a bit of nervousness.  I decided to have a home birth for my final, yes final, go around because I wanted to fully embrace the gift of mothering a child.  This blessing comes with responsibility that will be preceded by much prayer.  Here's to Liam spinning around!
