Precious Fluffy is Upside Down!


Maybe it would be more correct to say that she is right side up. It's a matter of perspective, I suppose. Most feti (that's doggie for the plural of fetus) are head down, or vertex, by 32 weeks. Precious Fluffy is 32 weeks, 2 days and still has her head up in Alpha Female's ribs. The good news is that the Alphas will go have an ultrasound next week to check that she really is head up. They should be able to get a good look at her and see who they'll be holding (and who I'll be licking milk off of) in a few short weeks. While there is some concern that she may not flip over on her own, I do not share that concern. I know how the ladies in this family operate. They just don't see the need to be conventional. Just because all the other feti are doing it doesn't mean that Precious Fluffy feels like she needs to do it. She still has more than seven weeks left and she'll turn over when she feels like it and not a moment sooner. The Alphas are going to give her some time to do it on her own, but they are setting a deadline. If she doesn't flip over in the next four weeks, they will impose martial law and have the doctors do the flipping for her. My guess is that once they make plans to force her, she'll decide to do it on her own. That's just how the girls in this house are sometimes, a little difficult, but they come through in the end.
