good news. the doc was just here, and said baby is doing great, handling the stress of contractions very well. (meaning there is a good chance we will make it through normal delivery, assuming everything else goes okay). i'm going to go ahead and take credit for that one- they say exercising throughout pregnancy makes the babies better able to handle the stress of delivery, so this little one has been stressed plenty! (in a good way, of course...) thanks for sending those "no c-section" thoughts our way, seems to be helping.
