Caitlyn Olivia has officially turned her head down! Baby is no longer in breech. To my mom and dad, you’all can turn that plane right around and head back home until June now. Just kidding! Well, I’m kidding at least. Dunno about Jessie.
After reporting the good news to me, Jessie says with this is out of the way, it just opens up the door for her to worry about other things. For instance, we’ve got a little heifer on our hands. The doctor is approximating the baby’s weight right now at around 3,000 grams or 6.61 pounds. The average weight for a 36 week baby is almost 6 pounds. We definitely smashed right through that. Jessie is worried that delivering such a big baby will be a problem for her.
Also, now that she can start mentally preparing for a natural birth, Jessie’s worried that she hasn’t been walking as much as she should have. And finally, she’s worried that the baby may decide to turn her head back around, as the doctor said there could be this possibility.
To all her concerns, I say, “Stop worrying!” I know it’s a very simple and easy thing to say, but it’s the truth. Let’s think about it.
So our baby is a little on the big side. What are you going to do about it? Starve yourself and force the baby to go on a diet? No, of course not. And I better not see you starting to eat smaller portions either!
As for not walking enough, I told you way back when to start walking and exercising more, but who was the one that said not to push her? Yea, exactly. I bet you wish now that I had pushed you a bit more. Only thing you can do now is to try walking more. Think of it as a good excuse for whenever you want to escape from the apartment and my parents. You’re killing two birds with one stone!
And if the baby turns her head back around, then so be it. Worrying about it isn’t going to prevent it from happening. Though at this stage, chances of that happening are already pretty slim anyway.
So you see, the mantra, “Don’t worry, be happy,” is so very true. Worrying won’t change anything. Some things are just out of our hands and control. If you worry about what will happen in the future, you miss out on all the good things happening right now.
Even the wise and venerable Master Oogway knew this when he said, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."
