A little update.

So.

Turns out I have a pretty stubborn kid already. Ha. Life. But I am accepting of all types.

My midwife in Chicago was pretty confident that she was properly sitting head down. So we believed her. Even though I felt something hard and skull-like in my ribs.

When I came to Seattle the midwife here was not so sure. So she took a little look on the sonogram machine. And lo and behold! She was totally totally breech. The midwife was sad. Because that probably meant that they would have to do a c-section. And Midwives are allergic to c-sections.

We tried a lovely procedure called external version, where the doctor tried to manipulate the baby to turn the right way. It hurt a lot. And it didn’t work. She really likes where she is.

SO.

Tomorrow I am scheduled to have a c-section. I’m ok with it, as long as I don’t think about it too much. So I’ve been distracting myself with random videos on youtube, origami, etc.

Good thing we got a carseat.

 

Pictures will be posted, probably here, and not on facebook (don’t want to start all that nonsense right away, eh?)

Thanks all for your support and prayers. I miss having friends around, but we are confident that this is where we are supposed to be. We are so blessed.
