So today is the big day!! Baby DuBois is going to be arriving today! We found out that she was breech a few weeks back and I did everything I could to try and get her to flip (daily trips to the chiropractor, Spinning Baby exercises, playing music by my feet, etc.) but since she is still breech, we have a c-section scheduled for today (just 3 short hours from now!!).
Women to Women, the doctor's office I've been going to in Arlington
Spent a few weeks in a row going to the chiropractors (trying out the Webster method to get little breech baby to turn- but she decided to stay put)
Haha...trying to get baby to turn. It didn't work. ;)
Didn't take too many pregnancy photos, but this was at Week 36
We did take a Hypnobirthing class because our plan originally was to do an unmedicated, natural birth. We'll still be able to use the techniques (both during the c-section and parenting!!)
In addition to prepping for baby, we've been learning a lot about the Foreign Service. Adam goes to the Foreign Service Institute daily, taking training classes for his job. I've also gone to some classes at FSI as well- several on employment options for spouses (both within the mission and outside), security, finances, transition, etc. It's been good and has kept us busy!
Lunch break during one of my classes at FSI- I was listening to my hypnobirthing affirmations! :)
One of the classes that Adam and I took together on protocol (essentially an etiquette class to prep us for some of the events we might attend or host)
Many of Adam's classmates have already gone on to their posts in the past month- Adam will likely be the last from his training class to go to post, but there are 3 others that will also be leaving in January. Here are some random photos from the past few months:

We were supposed to go to Jennifer Gamble's house for Thanksgiving in Knoxville, but Adam had to stay in town so we ended up having a last minute Thanksgiving dinner at our place with Greg, one of Adam's colleagues
We paid a visit to the storage facility- yes, all those containers are filled with stuff! We decided to ship all our stuff to Kingston and not leave anything in storage to collect dust.
We said goodbye to our Matrix a few weeks ago and traded it in for this 2010 Rav4 with 3rd row seats. That should be good for Kingston!
Ok, well we are off to the hospital! Wish us luck on the c-section, recover, and the exciting new addition to our family!! Baby Girl DuBois!!
