Here's the scoop...



(Pictures are of the newly painted kitchen, completed baby dresser and my belly as of yesterday)
Well yesterday I had a doctor's appointment and my doctor suspected that the head was up again and the feet were down. He did an internal exam and felt nothing in the pelvis. He booked me for a morning screening in the case room at the hospital for this morning at 8:45am. So after Justin picked Jerine up to watch the boys we went to the case room. My doctor's assumption was correct. The head is under my right ribs and the heart on the left side with her feet in my pelvis. Explains why as of late if felt like baby was standing on my blatter and kicking me. So now what you may ask? We are waiting until Saturday morning. We have to be at the hospital by 8am. From then they will do another ultrasound thingy to determine the exact position and if it is still breech, we will have a C-section by 2pm. If they find that the baby has turned and is head down they will immediately induce me to prevent the baby turning once again. And if I go into labour between now and Saturday morning and the baby is not in the correct position, they will do a C-section within the hour. So that's all folks. We finally get to meet this little girl no later then Saturday. I am nervous and a little disapointed about the C-section but want what's best for the baby. But on the plus side, I will be getting my "tubes tide" at the same time. Saves convincing Justin to do it or me having to go in at another time. Three precious children is more then we could have ever dreamed. We have been so blessed with healthy, wonderful children. With that we are content. So, Justin will post pictures and all of the details as soon as they are available. The minimum stay for C-section is now two days but usually three if all goes well which we pray will. Pray for nerves, health, and recovery for me and health, no jaundice, good eater/sleeper and all goes well for the baby. Until then friends...
