A Little Transverse Lie

I had my monthly (soon to be weekly) doctor visit yesterday and I found out that the baby is due on February 19 instead of February 14. I could swear they told me the 14th in my first trimester, but the size of the baby indicates that I am at 33 weeks. (40 being full term) Well, that gives me an extra week to get ready. Also, the baby hasn't turned head down yet. She is in a position they call "Transverse Lie Presentation" At 36 weeks--if she hasn't turned--they will try to massage her in to place. If that doesn't take, they will schedule a C-section, but there is still time for her to turn. Rex and I are very excited and we both feel great. Pics below. Warning: extreme pregnancy close up.
