Little Nose

This is from 36 weeks - and its been on facebook already; so it maybe old news. But I thought it was still worth sharing.

When the (inexperienced) doctor couldn't figure out which way Papillon was facing (he would have called her breech and scheduled a c-section on the spot if it were up to him. I believe he is a little surgery-happy. Anyway), he sent me to get a quick ultrasound.

I was mildly concerned that she may have flipped around (having been head down the week before), cause those things can happen; but I was also don't put much weight into this doctor's opinions (for various reasons, including the fact that he thinks natural childbirth is silly, in his words "if you were having your appendix out, you wouldn't try and do that without pain meds, would you?". So in his mind Papillon = faulty appendix.)

So when the ultra sound revealed that she is very comfortably head down, I felt a small sense of victory. Score one for team Papillon; zero for Dr. Appendix.

And the best part about the whole little snafu was that I got an adorable profile picture of Papillon.

Yay for tiny little round noses!
