Dr Appointment

We had our Week 40 Doctor Appointment this morning. Baby is still not ready to come out and meet anyone. I have not started dilating still, there's about a finger tip to go until that starts. And the Midwife (not a Dr. - you never know what you're gonna get at the military base) said that the baby's head is not actually down in my pelvis yet. Oh, and the Midwife was a male! I've never heard of or seen/met of a midwife being male! Have you???? I was kinda in shock for a good minute or two of the appointment when he introduced himself as a midwife. So, we need to get out walking more and I will try sitting on my birthing ball more often to wiggle the baby around so she gets her head down in my pelvis. Our next appointment (if she doesn't come before) will be next Tuesday for a non-stress test. My understanding of that is they hook up a monitor on me to monitor the baby's heart rate and things to ensure she's doing ok in there and that she doesn't need to come out immediately due to complications of some sort or anything. So, keep us in your thoughts and prayers that all will go smoothly and fairly easily when she does decide to come out and meet everyone (which will hopefully be sooner than later).
