Well today we went in to the hospital for the appointment to try and have the baby turned. Unfortunately it wasn’t successful, but we were very blessed throughout the day with a sense of peace and confidence that things will work out, and that we are in God’s hands throughout, so thank you to all of you for your prayers and thoughts!
The procedure was really painful, as the doctor had to really get his hands in deep into my tummy muscles to try and dislodge our little one from the depths of my belly…and move her around…but alas, she just wouldn’t budge at all! He tried a couple of times, glad not more than that! I will put up pictures on our dropshots in the next few days if any bruises show up…would be interesting to see! But anyway, it was good to know at least that we had done what we could to try and get her moving, but unfortunately her legs seem to be up around her body in a way which makes it really hard for her to turn or do anything. 
Anyway, needless to say, now that she is still in the head up position, and if she doesn’t turn herself, I’ll be giving birth breech at the Hopital de la Tour rather than at home. Even though its not what we had been hoping for, we are just happy to do whatever will be the safest and best for our baby. 
Andy still has hope and confidence that it is still possible for her to turn, and I have to say his hope is a wonderful encouragement. The birthpool arrived at our place the other day, so if she does amazingly turn by herself then we can still use it, but otherwise we could always use it as a big jacuzzi for the next few weeks! heheh…
So anyway, we will continue to keep you updated with how things go…thanks again for your support and encouragement!
