Wow, has it really been over a month since I last posted?! Time sure flies. The past month has been busy. We have had 2 baby showers, lots of house guests, and have been busy getting things ready for 'our little man.' Kristin and Melissa through me a baby shower in mid March. We ate great food, played fun games, and received much needed baby goods. Last Friday was my last day of work...ahhh...what ever will I do for the next 4 months?! I am sure baby will give me lots to do :) On Saturday our friends Christina and Danny threw another shower for us, only this time it included men too!! Christina did a great job cooking wonderful food and planning fun games. I think Jarrod had a good time, although he probably doesn't want to admit that he had a fun time at a 'baby shower!!'
We had our weekly dr. appt. on Monday. The appt. didn't go as planned, but we are starting to accept the news. Our little guy is still breech. He is actually in a position called 'frank breech' meaning his feet are up near his face. Sounds very uncomfortable to me, but dr. assured us it is okay. After discussing a few options, one of which is version, where they manually turn the baby in a hospital in case something goes wrong, she did an ultrasound and decided that a version is out of the picture. His body position and the position of the anterior placenta (in the front instead of up top or on the side) makes a version impossible. So, we are going to most likely have to give up our birth plan of a natural labor. The dr. told us she wants to schedule a c-section for April 30th!! Yep, you calculated right, that is only 3 weeks from tomorrow. Before they preform the c-section they will do an ultrasound to make sure he hasn't flipped. I was devastated when she told me, but am getting more used to the idea. I have never had surgery or even broken a bone, so I am terrified of having a c-section. A part of me is excited to know we don't have to wait much longer, but I am crushed that I will most likely not be able to have a natural birth. I almost knew something like this would happen since I have had the easiest pregnancy.
I will keep everyone posted in the next few weeks. Who knows, we could be holding a baby in 21 days.
