So my heartburn has all but disappeared over the last several days. And I can breathe again. And I have this weird pain in my upper legs. All of these things led me to believe that Violet has dropped, but since that has never happened to me before I kind of thought maybe I was crazy. But I’m not…or at least not about this particular thing!
Dr. Delaney confirmed my suspicions today and said that she’s definitely sitting much lower than she was. This could mean nothing, but it’s yet another sign that this baby will eventually come out, whether it’s on my terms or hers. Just thinking about it makes me feel a tad woozy. My only request is that if she decides to do this on her terms that she’ll pick a day Dr. Delaney is on call. I am quite sure the other doctors are capable of cutting me open and doing all of the things Dr. D promised, but she’s one of the best doctors I’ve ever had and I really want her to be the one.
Of course, I do not expect any daughter of mine to make anything simple for me so I’m quite sure she’ll decide to arrive at the most inconvenient time. As soon as I make a list of days that don’t work for me, that’s when my water will break. I suppose I can deal with that as long as she gets here safe and sound!

You need to take the upper hand with Violet and show her who’s the boss early — just sit down and talk to her and tell her what the rules are — she is NOT to try to come out until you tell her she can!!! Every day tell her whether or not it would be OK if she is ready or it isn’t OK and she has to stay put!!!
LOL — hey, it works in theory…..LOL

Kelly, I just love her. With all of the moving around we’ve done I have had several OB/GYNs and I’ve been lucky that all but 1 has been really great, but she is the BEST of the ones I’ve had.
Kim, how I wish I could do that! I have a feeling this child is going to be the “difficult” one in ways I’ve never imagined!
