It was an interesting experience, but it was fun at the same time. Here is one picture that was taken.
I really love this boy that is about to come into the world, but I received some disheartening news this morning that he is double footling breech. He has a couple of weeks to turn on his own (believe me, I will be trying all that I can do to help him change positions), and if he doesn't move on his own, I will more than likely be asking my doctor to an External Cephalic Version (ECV) procedure.
This procedure is basically an attempt from the doctor to rotate the baby from a breech position to a headfirst position. It sounds painful, but if it comes to it, I'd rather try the ECV before consenting to just having a cesarean section.
I'm nervous about the whole situation, and know that I will be saying a lot of fervent prayers asking that this baby will rotate on his own so I can still have a vaginal birth. So, for any of my praying readers, please keep us in your thoughts.

One thing you might want to try is exercising in a pool. I have read several case studies where babies have turned later in pregnancy when exposed to the buoyancy properties of water. It's worth a try, besides it feels great on your back to get the pressure off for a little while and also helps with swollen ankles.
Yes, yes, yes! You are in my prayers, Julie. I know this must be weighing on your mind as your due date looms close. I hope with all my heart your baby boy decides to move on his own and is able to have a peaceful, natural birth. By the way, I love the belly picture!
After I saw this I had to make my sister do it too. Anyone who's lucky enough to not get stretch marks needs to do this lol
Beautiful!!
I'm not surprised you are a belly model- you are so cute, and 2 weeks from your due date you look about 7 months along! I'll say a prayer for you and bean II. It will be okay, I'm sure of it!
Oh Julie, I so hope your baby turns! I will say a sweet prayer on your behalf. I am also excited that you had such a cool oppertunity to take such fun pictures! I feel like I know a celeb! Hope everything goes well...keep us posted!
I've been thinking about you a lot lately. You are in a tricky situation. Has baby turned yet? I can really relate to how you are feeling. My little guy ended up being transverse at about 36 weeks. Turned right before a scheduled c section at 39 weeks and then turned back to transverse, so I ended up having a c section anyway. Some things happen for a reason! I think this "little" guy wasn't going to come any other way. I hope whatever happens is best for baby and you are okay with it all. Keep us posted! Also, I like your model pics, you are not very big...amazing!
A friend told me this place I have been looking for, I come, it turned out, I have not disappointed, good Blog
