Almost done work!

I have 5 days of work left, and then I can focus on baby and me, which I'm looking forward to very much! We are 34 weeks and 3 days today. We went away on a babymoon to Canmore/Banff for the long weekend and just had a relaxing time together, it was perfect and beautiful.
Baby has been moving a lot and definitely utilizing the space in my tummy! It's getting harder to breathe and sleep soundly at night because I need to shift positions, or go pee! And I'M LOVING ALL OF IT!!
Last week at my obgyn appointment, Dr. Bow was concerned about a breech position. So today I went for an ultrasound, and yes, the baby is breech with his/her legs folded so that it can grab it's toes (which is what it was doing during the ultrasound, and sucking on it's hand!) I was able to get some pictures, my first 3D ones, and it's so precious to be able to see the lips and nose! What a miracle, it makes me that much more excited to meet my little one!
But the babe needs time to turn the right way. I've been doing a lot of poses to help with turning, and praying that all will come together so that I won't need a c-section. Dr. Bow went over a few things with me in regards to that, because they typically don't want to do vaginal if baby is breech. The Dr. will go over the results of the ultrasound in more detail with me when I see him next week. Who knows, maybe she'll/he'll have turned by then?!
It was so awesome to see the baby again during the ultrasound. The heartbeat was nice and strong at 144bmp. It was also practice 'breathing' for the full 1/2 hr, so the tech couldn't do one of the scans because she needed baby to stop 'breathing'. And VERY active! It was funny because the little turd was making it difficult to get the proper scans :) I also found out that sprout is 5lbs 11oz and right on track.
