Today is a BIG
day! A day that I haven’t shared with
anyone except family and close friends so far.
Today we will meet our baby girl because I have a scheduled
c-section. Let me first share that this was not at all
my plan. But isn’t that life?... you
plan and plan and try to make educated decisions about what’s best for you and
then wham bam, God says HE knows what’s best, not you.
I am currently a few
days short of 40 weeks. At 37 weeks I
learned that my baby girl was in a breech position, after already spending a
few weeks head-down. I have no idea why
she decided to turn around again, but she did and she is apparently staying put
(stubborn little bugger!) Because of a
small issue I have with the umbilical cord, it’s not safe for the doctor to try
to turn her or manipulate her in anyway.
So I was told to prepare for a scheduled c-section… you know, the type
of birth I didn’t want and wasn’t my plan at all!
