Let's flip baby!
I went in for my 36 week appointment today. I was so excited for this – I’m not sure why. Perhaps because it signified the start of actually talking about delivering the baby?!?

Work is getting to be too much. I don’t mind OT once in a while, but for the last 2.5 months I feel like I’ve been overloaded. Last night was another 14.5 hour day – and that’s 14.5 hours of inputting/compiling/analyzing as quickly as I can. Exhausting, to say the least. I got home around…
If I didn’t want this, it would be so (too) easy to take a LOT of days off. My training week starts on Monday. I knew this week had: 3 days x 12 mile doubles 18 mile long run 5x1000m repeats 10 miles with 10x100m surges/gear change practice 1 rest day You can see where…
As you know, one of my big goals this year was to re-claim the world record in the indoor marathon. Well, something of THIS magnitude happened a week and a half ago: Photo credits: Justin Gaymon/Armory Foundation Yep, the world record was lowered by 9 minutes. Now… my PR is still faster than this… and…
Weeks 16-17 marked a lot of physical and mental ups and downs. Training: Mon: Off. I’d been feeling sick the night before (bad enough heartburn that Nate ran to Walgreen’s for me) so decided to take and unscheduled rest day. Really, I think I was just unmotivated. Tue: Very unmotivated today. I contemplated becoming a…
I’ve done a couple of talks this fall to different teams/groups. It is so rewarding to influence others to believe in themselves, have that ‘go get ’em’ attitude, and chase goals they’re passionate about. After one talk at a high school, I got the nicest note. Hope they don’t mind me reposting here, it really…
Just out of curiosity, I plugged my 20 mile time into a few race predictors… Running for Fitness: Puts me at a 3:00.47. Puts my training partner, who ran a 1:24.50 1/2 marathon at the same race, at a 2:58 :(. Running times: Puts me at a 3:01.35 (again, pegs my training partner faster than…
So I guess that means we're not running on Wednesday…
Best of luck, I'll be praying for you and baby.
Looks like we can schedule 3 more weekly "run clubs" before the c-section on the 15th We'll just have to move the Wednesday run to Tuesday the week of the 15th :).
Sending positive turning vibes your way!!! Just like any race… you've got this!
I tried, they tried. No luck. But — there's a reason for everything. Maybe this just better prepares me for a C-section and I'll be even more giddy/thankful if baby flips and I can deliver naturally!
Just happened up this post and I am asking God to give you a miracle…John 15:7 and Matt 18:19 in Jesus name!! Thank you Jesus for her Miracle Amen.
Thank you for this! I had to look up the passages, they couldn't be more perfect:
John 15:7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you
Matthew 18:19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven
Thinking of you! Ouchies! (which is a word that proves I am not ready for motherhood).
There's nothing wrong with that word! 🙂 It was a little "ouch-y", I will say that 🙂
Fingers crossed for you, Nichole!! Have you done any of the natural exercises to help turn the baby? I had success turning my first child using this site: http://spinningbabies.com/baby-positions/breech-bottoms-up/305-body-work-for-breech. Don't know if it'll work for you (and be careful it might cause you some heartburn/nausea) but it might be worth a shot! Good luck and keep us posted!
I'm on it now!
