Best moment this week: We went to the doctor today and found out that Noah is in breech position...when the midwife did an ultrasound to confirm his position, he flipped around completely while running from the ultrasound wand :) We are hoping that he will settle in down there soon and stop flipping. By the time we got to the car I felt his head back up at the top of my stomach. I'm going to have to start icing the top of my stomach to scare him back down!
