Getting Into the Solution

And so it begins: Operation Turn Baby Colin is now in effect!

My friend Julie hooked me up with an awesome chiropractor who is willing to charge me peanuts for her time and also willing to see me daily (and sometimes, twice daily) to encourage the little man to turn. I had my first appointment yesterday and it went great. If nothing else, I will have chiropractic care for the next week, which is awesome because I'm incredibly sore being this pregnant anyway. I'm also hopeful that just relaxing those muscles will make the Version easier, if the baby doesn't flip on his own. I can actually already feel a difference. His head has consistently been under my right rib for months and both last night and today, I can feel him push and stretch his was over to the left side. Having that added mobility makes me think the chiropractic work helped loosen something up so he could move. I will go back once today, twice on Friday, once on Saturday and twice on Monday and hope that does the trick!

Now, a note about Lily's Birthday --
For those of you who have asked what to bring, please know a) you do not have to bring a gift at all for any reason, your company alone makes the day special b) We had a big Christmas and the house is already filled with stuff that I'm furiously trying to organize and so please don't feel the need to go all out for her birthday

Things that would be great: Sticker books, Art supplies (paints, paint brushes, paper, etc), Playdoh, DVD's (Disney, princesses, Dora, Diego), stuff like hats, gloves, rain boots, umbrellas, etc -- basically, go for small and inexpensive, lol.

I hope that doesn't come off sounding weird or presumptious, we just want to encourage everyone, especially in these tough financial times, to spend as little as possible and come hang out and let us enjoy your company instead :)
