Saturday night Ginny had the sweetest prayer…”Dear God, touch baby Julia and cause her to flip over.” What a great image of the loving hand of our heavenly Father.
As Sunday rolled around, Jeff and I were both were being to lose hope that Julia would flip. At 39 at weeks she was still breech. Sunday afternoon, I began my upside down exercises. Jeff held a frozen piece of meat to Julia's head and then he began gently and gradually trying to turn her. It took about 15 minutes of slow, steady pressure and…..voila! She turned!
Today (Monday) we went to our scheduled ultrasound appointment. The arrangement last week was that if Julia was still breech then we would schedule a c-section for Tuesday or Wednesday. But the ultrasound confirmed that she had flipped. Praise God! As soon as we got back to the guest house Micah came running up to me asking, “Baby Juli-la head flipped over?” When I told him yes, he gave me a high five.
Now we can realistically think about a birth here at the guest house. Jeff has been busy gathering his supplies, sterilizing his instruments, he has made 2 runs to the pharmacy and he has setup the birthing room. I have been washing bedding and getting clothes, blankets and other things ready for baby.
