She won the primary last night, with 47% of the vote. Her competitors had 25% and 27% or so, respectively. We were all jubilant that the hard work paid off.

Unfortunately this means the work continues until November, for the general, but it was a great confidence booster to a neck and neck, stressful campaign. And for my husband and I, at least, most of our work has already been done to get things rolling for the primary, so the general should (we hope!) just be maintaining the website, adding donations, and a few events, instead of months of prep work we have already done.

My daughter's appointment went well, she is perfectly healthy and in the middle of both growth curves, still. She was understandably angry at the nice nurse betraying her trust and stabbing her in the thighs with needles ;)

My appointment also went quite well, about as I expected. Blood pressure was good, weight was a half pound gain of baby per week, as expected at this point. Baby boy was head down (for the time being) and the next appointment in two weeks will include an ultrasound to verify his position and possibly an external version, if he hasn't settled head down by then. My doctor WON'T advise a breech vaginal birth, as they tend to have poorer outcomes for the babies, on top of my already slightly-riskier VBAC, so we really need him vertex (head down) for the birth to proceed as we would like. I will be doing positioning exercises and more chiropractic to try and encourage my pelvis to balance and ohm to settle as well, but my dr. says he is unconcerned about him being breech and thinks he will settle just fine, given that he hasn't chosen to stay malpositioned over the past few weeks but just keeps changing. He isn't a stubborn breech or transverse baby, so that should indicate he is more amenable to behaving himself in the proper position or staying there if we manually move him :)
