Here he is!!! Look at that adorable little Miles clone!!! We were all stunned at how alike our two boys look -- especially when you compare Miles' 24 week scan!!! Lennon looks yummy and perfect all snuggled up in his momma cocoon and, although he was a very sleepy boy, obliged us by giving us a few super sweet face shots. We saw him smiling, yawning, sucking on his lower lip, and even trying to open his eyes. He moved some and kicked. We also got another peek at his boy parts which are looking like they are all in order. Lennon has definitely got long toes like the rest of us. They were shockingly long, in fact!!! We'll see if he fits into those newborn socks when he's born. We got a full diagnostic and everything is looking and sounding perfect. Lennon weighs about 1 lb. 13 oz., and is measuring a few days ahead of schedule at 25 weeks 3 days. The bummer news is that Lennon is Transverse Breech -- which is very rare and occurs in only 1 of 2,500 births -- but we still have about 7 weeks for him turn on his own. If he doesn't, there are some techniques we can try or our Midwife will have to perform an inversion. An inversion is a technique for relaxing the lower uteran ligaments which will help turn the baby. There are also a few techniques that can be performed by a chiropractor or OB if necessary. We're confidant that it won't get to that. We plan on doing everything we can to help little Lennon turn to the correct position. It is our goal to have another unmedicated, vaginal, home birth. The thought of a c-section is terrifying to me, but if the result is a safe and healthy Lennon, then so be it!!! All we really want is to hold that adorable bundle of boy in our arms. How freaking cute is he????
