Are you ready to play...Turn That Baby!
Well, babies are still in the tummy. Cooper was still breech yesterday in the ultrasound we are working on getting him to turn. We've tried everything--turning out all the lights and running a flashlight down Andi's belly, drinking orange juice (gives them a sugar high and the babies move a lot), an accupressure point we read about online, and even music (specifically Jay Sean's "Down"---the lyrics fit great "Baby are you [head] down, down, down, down, down"). Someone at work today suggested a little Flo Rida, though the lyrics aren't so appropriate for children we'd have to change it to something like "gotta turn your head right down, right down". Of course Andi has also tried about every inverted position in the book short of standing on her head. Hopefully he will flip before any major labor starts. We are off to the Doc again next Wednesday. Everything else is looking good though. They are both a little over 5lbs now so we probably won't use all the premie clothes as long as we thought. We are just glad they made it to 35 weeks, though I am pretty sure Andi is ready to be done (probably something to do with the 10+ lbs of baby she's carrying around.

Wow, what a trooper you are Andi! I hope everything turns out well with those beautiful babies.
So glad babies are still inside and thriving! I'm not so sure you two are ready for these little pranksters - I can already hear them giggling each time they "pretend" to be putting Andi into labor! ;)
Haha! I love all the techniques you've tried. I'm sure Emmy will sing "Baby down down" for you!
Damon keeps standing on his head trying to teach Cooper how. Let me know if it works so the days of his dirty forehead can be done :)
Congratulations! We are all excited for you. So glad to hear everything worked out great. Sorry Andi about the "C" section. I had 3 of those with three different children. Love Aunt Sheryn
