Baby has flipped!!! and other u/s news

Baby has flipped!!  I'm wondering though if the doctor was wrong the whole time because I never felt a big flip.  Head is not engaged, so there is a chance LO could flip back to breach.  Fingers crossed they LO stays in the right position.

I've had my head wrapped around a c/s and the probability of scheduling it for the next 2 weeks.  Its weird to think that LO could stay in for weeks now and I will not now when they are coming!! 

LO is measuring 6 lbs 10oz.  Technician said they average about 1/2 lb a wk, putting us at about 8 lbs on our due date.  I know these can be way off - DD was estimated to be 7 lb at birth and came out 8lbs4oz.  Curious to see what my dr says on Friday about the size of this LO.

    My little one flipped too!  Ultrasound tech said (and showed me) that it's head down and face back (where it should be).  Its head is practically sitting on my cervix - but she didn't say anything about being engaged or not.  How do I know that?  Here's good thoughts that our babies stay where they belong till they decide to come out!!

    Our u/s tech said LO's head is floating.  It kinda sounds like your LO is engaged since the head is so close to the cervix??

    Congrats!  So happy for you!!!  Try hanging out in squats and bouncing on a labor ball...that can help the baby move down.  That said- considering their heads are the heaviest part of their body, you are probably going to be fine. 

    8 lbs is a great size- please don't worry about it.  Besides, those u/s can be off by 2 lbs in either direction.

    DD was 8lbs 4 oz, so I know I can do it ;)  They told me she would be around 7lbs!  Just worried if this LO hangs out longer than 'planned.'  All my early u/s said 2/12 was my EDD (I had a lot of early u/s because of a prior molar pregnancy), so LO might do a week or more extra, gaining even more weight.
