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?!?

This has been a surreal 2.5 weeks. It started with my first 100+ mile week of the training cycle (2nd ever) where I nailed my workouts and started feeling stronger and more efficient than ever. I told myself to enjoy it – I know that weeks like this come once every 4 or 5 weeks….
Long blog… warning! This blog originally started when Ahvo, the owner of Finn Sisu, convinced me that it would be interesting to have a blog that followed a more “average” person learning how to ski and race, and trying to combine that with training for another sport (in my case, running). Off the blog went….
New all-time PR – that’s 4 for 4 so far in 2011! Although a little slower than my goal (2.5 seconds off of the stadium record), I’m still very happy with it. It was really windy on Saturday (15mph), and I ran solo from the beginning. The next girl was over 30 seconds behind me,…
Mesa is one unhappy camper. Not only does she normally hate it when I taper, but I’ve been in taper mode for the 2 weeks before Chicago and the 3 weeks between Chicago and NYC. Don’t let her cuteness fool you… when she is not run, she gets crazy eyes. To sum up how much…
Wow… less than 1 week to go. The last week has been a little challenging, I think because of the heat. Rewind to last Saturday: we did a 1/2 marathon at MP effort. Luckily we started at 6:30, because by the last few miles, it was already getting uncomfortably warm. I felt good on the…
Is anyone looking ahead to your weekend training schedule and thinking either that it would be fun to race, or that a race would help you to get through a long/hard workout? I know I posted earlier about these races, but I wanted to plug them one more time. It’s a challenging race, well run,…
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!
