Let me just start this by saying we are all healthy and baby Emery will be here on OCTOBER 27.:) We will be having a scheduled c section that morning.
I was hoping I would not have to blog about this but over the past few weeks it became very obvious that this little baby girl likes being upside down or breech. Although if you really think about it she is actually right side up just not for the birthing thing.;) Her head has found a snug spot under my ribs and she has not made any big flips for a while now. I have done my pelvic tilts, played music, put frozen peas and flashlight on my tummy all without success of a flip. I have been optimistic that she would listen to her mommy and just turn head down but no such luck. After the ultrasound this past Friday, the Dr says her head has found a nice snug spot and her head has actually started to take shape in that spot.
I suppose I have know that she was pretty stuck in the back of my mind but I was really trying to stay positive. Plus every time I tell people she is breech, everyone says "she will turn" which I was totally thinking she would too. I can actually easily feel her head under my right side rib and it does not feel so great. Lately, sitting and laying down creates difficulty breathing and standing up makes my feet swell so it is pretty hard to get comfortable.
Overall, I have had a wonderful pregnancy and God has blessed us in so many ways that an upside down baby does not seem too bad. I also find comfort in knowing that God is in control and he has wonderful plans for us. After all, it is a MIRACLE OF LIFE whether it is upside down or right side up.
Baby Emery will be here in 10 days!
