Kinda Disappointed
This past Wednesday, April 10, 2013, your father and I had our 36 week ultrasound to see if you had finally gotten into position. Sadly the ultrasound showed that your were still breech. It was as if you were sitting on a chair on the right side, head up, your butt towards the bottom, and your legs out straight towards the left. We haven't been doing the breech exercises as constantly as we should so now we have started to do them all the time. We have tried everything, continued to use the ironing board, light, putting a cold pack on the top of the uternus to get you to move away, putting warm, doing exercises on stairs face down. It has not been fun, but your father and I are willing to try anything, since the doctor has scheduled a c-section for May 1st. I went through a c-section with your older brother Pepito and it was a horrible experience, so I do not want a repeat. I had imagined this being my third pregnancy that delivery would be easy. I have been working out each day, but we you not being in position I have no choice. You are definitely an Orozco, stubborn and want to do things your way. We even resorted to seeing an acupuncturist today in which she showed your father our to do a Chinese technique called Moxibustion (Moxi). This is a charcoal herb that is heated up. We tried it today and you got super active. The acupuncturist said we had to do it for 5 days and that hopefully you would turn. She says it has moved everytime she has done it, except once, so we are hopefully. Tonight you have been super active, kicking super hard, your father thinks that you might be in position b/c the movements you are giving are really hard!

Nuestra Esme! Hace mucho que no te escribo pero siempre estoy pensando en ti y el todo la alegría que trías ha nuestra vida! In our follow up OB appointment, Mama requested another ultrasound to find out if you had rotated away from the breech position. This is after five consecutive days of implementing a Chinese technique called Moxbustion. And guess what! You are now in the correct position and ready to come out from mama's tummy and into this world. We were super happy to hear such wonderful news! We were concerned because the OB automatically scheduled an C-section on our previous visit. Mama did an awesome job enduring the treatment so you would have a chance to move into the correct position in her tummy. These past months have been unbelievable seeing how Mama's body has blossomed along with feeling your movements get stronger and more spirited with each passing day. Although this pregnancy has been truly magnificent, Mama has reached the point were she just wants to hold you and caress you. I am also very eager to finally see you! We are getting closer and closer to finally meeting you--nuestra estrellita! -Tu Papa
