I just wanted to assure you that YES her ears will stand up. the Cartilage in their ears are developing and stiffening up. However I was warned that if you pull on their ears or really rub them roughly during this time that the cartilage will break down. When I was told that I was very careful with my dogs ears so I can't say I tested that theory :)
My Male shepherd when he was a baby his ears would flop down, first one ear would then the other, it was very cute but today his ears look just great. Now my female when she was a baby hers never did the same thing, so I don't think every shepherd goes through it, but it is quite common.
So rest assured that your baby's ears will turn out just fine.

ear of two month old GSD by: Anonymous
this is not an abnormality. it will take several months maybe for the ears to stay up, both, and consistently. at least that is what i found with my female.
some days they were both up, next day one and not the other etc, until she was after 6 months old at least.
they are both up now and strong. people always comment on her ears and how nice and straight they are. just be patient.
