Hello! Today we had our 37-Week Ultrasound Appt! I have been SO excited for this appointment as I am getting more and more impatient with each day.
We confirmed by ultrasound that the baby is STILL breech. He/she just doesn't want to turn around, I guess. Everything else looked great and after some measurements, they predicted our baby currently weighs 7 pounds so we are right on track for a 8 to 8 1/2 pound baby by the time of delivery.
Our doctor recommends doing a C-section delivery two weeks from today! Can you even believe it?? So...October 12th will be our little miracle's birthday! We had to get it all scheduled and arranged with the hospital but all the details are now confirmed. We are to arrive about 5:30am on Wednesday, Oct. 12th and will have the surgery at 7:15am. What a concept huh? Who knew childbirth could be that quick?!
We are very excited but now we realize how much stuff we have left to do in the two weeks until we meet our little miracle. We will use every bit of time we have to finish everything.
I am having some anxiety about the scheduled C-section, mainly about the surgery itself and the long, tough recovery that I know is in front of me. I will trust God that he knows what he's doing and that he will bring us safely through it. And, I just keep telling myself that many women have C-sections and do just fine. We would love and greatly appreciate any prayers for a safe and successful procedure.
Will continue to update as I can!
Our constant love and prayers are with you each and every minute of each and every day for a safe and healthy delivery and baby! We are confident that you will come through your procedure with no problems, and you will welcome a most precious and tiny little bundle into your lives!
