Pollyanna Jane got another scan this week and she looked great. She scored her 8/8 in the first 3 minutes, then we got to have some fun with the 3D/4D function. She kept her hands up by her face a lot of the time but we got a few good glimpses of her precious features. She apparently did a full flip and is now positioned still in head down but with feet on the opposite side. I am pretty sure she did this big flip Saturday night. It was intense and even Emma saw the huge movement! I also woke up in the middle of the night Saturday freezing and shivering. It lasted about 30 minutes and Chris was at work so I just buried down in the covers until it stopped. I freaked myself out because the last time I had the chills like that was when I got that horrible infection after having Emma and ended up in the ER and then the hospital for 2 weeks. I didn't feel like I had a fever this time, I was just very, very cold. I also got alarmed because I couldn't get Polly to move at all. I started freaking myself out imagining that the huge flip/movement she had done before I went to bed was her in distress. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well the rest of the night after I got warm again. I got up at 6 am and ate a bite and drank some water and finally she moved. I was so relieved! I let the doctor know about all of this at my appointment and she seemed slightly concerned about the chills but thought it could have been a surge of hormones. Since Polly looked and sounded good she was not too concerned. She just asked that I call her if it happens again and to make sure that I take my temperature. Hoping that was a one time occurrence! At my appointment this week I also signed consents for my tubal ligation. This aroused more emotions than I anticipated! I love being pregnant. Imagining this experience being over in 23 days and NEVER having it again makes me emotional! Dr. J said she will ask me again before the C-section and then one more time after she gets Polly out.. I can only imagine how hard it will be for me not to change my mind after seeing this beautiful girl in person!
