It has been a fun two weeks with doctor's appointments, showers, ultra sounds, and MOXABUSTION. What is moxabustion you say? Well - at my latest ultra sound (Feb. 2nd) we learned that BP's head is wedged up in the heart shaped uterus without much chance of flipping. This means that there is not much of a chance of a vaginal birth - so as of right now - we have a c-section scheduled for February 28th at 7:30am in the morning. This isn't to say that I couldn't still go into labor on my own before that - but if not - then the latest Persoleo family member will be a February baby! I feel like I know this little girl or boy so well - it is so exciting to know that I will get to meet BP in just over two weeks!!! Anyway - back to moxabustion...it is a form of accupuncture using a point in your toe with heat from an incense stick. The theory is that babies that are not head down move towards the heat after 5-6 treatments of the moxabustion. My OBGYN said for us to try this natural remedy - and Dave and I both thought, "what could it hurt?" So we made an appointment and Dave learned how to moxabust my feet! We just did our last session last night - the baby's head is still wedged and NOT down...but it was worth a shot! I told my OBGYN on Tuesday that our house smells like Michael Phelps' dormroom from all of the incense lighting! Above are the latest 4D pictures of BP. I think the baby has changed so much since the last ones...the Waslick nose is still in effect - but maybe not as much! I can't wait to post a blog on here with BP's face in the flesh!!! It will be before the end of the month!!!! :)

Can't wait to hold and smell BP!
BP looks adorable...and a little squished! It's obvious that this pregnancy is in it's final stages (listen to Miss OBGYN here!)
Thanks for sharing these pics and everything else over the course of your pregnancy. I think it's safe to say that we are ALL so excited. More trips to DE for the Smith family! :)
Oh my goodness....I feel the excitement rising!!!
You'll be in Hailey's prayers tonight for sure - - - I just don't think I'm going to worry her with the moxabustion details. Who knows what that vocabulary word would turn into! We'll just be hoping the baby turns around.
16 days!
