The update from here is that we have 20 inches of snow…but no baby yet. We go in tonight to check about his position and will start induction if everything is a go. If he is breech they will set me up for a c-section tomorrow. So, still a waiting game. We will let you know how it goes! We will post snow pictures soon!
So we went in today for the c-section. I was all hooked up, in a gown and awaiting my spinal. The anesthesiologist was getting me to sign off on the final papers and the doctor came in with the sonogram machine to get one last peek at his position. Sure enough Owen was head down. SOOO after much anticipation, farewells to Jackson and not much sleep the last few days we were sent home to wait a few days. I am contracting every 5-6 mins but nothing strong enough to make fast changes. I will go in Sunday night to begin induction if he hasn’t come by then. In the meantime I am drinking raspberry leaf tea and looking up any old wives tales that might move this along. Of course the concern is that he will move back and I will still need a c-section so please pray with us that this is for real and that we can move forward without a c-section.
Kristen and I head to the hospital today for a C-section. Owen is still breech and supposedly a “gigantic baby” so the doctors said it’s time to get him out. And since she is 39 weeks tomorrow, it’s a good time for him to come. Kristen is definitely ready to not have a head under her ribs and feel so uncomfortable.
We’re looking forward to meeting him and holding him. As is Jackson. But I think Jack will be distracted for a few days since we’re supposed to get 12 inches of snow starting tonight.
Check back soon for more info and pictures!
A week from today we are going to meet Owen! If not sooner! At this point I am going to be having a scheduled c-section on Friday the 18th because Owen has shifted back to breach position and is supposedly HUGE! I am to that uncomfortable point where I feel like he can’t get out soon enough! I was hoping to not have to have a c-section but it seems that it is going to be necessary!
Everything is in place and just waiting for his arrival! My mom arrives on Wednesday so we will have a day to get to the grocery store and make sure she is settled in. I have been baking and keeping busy around the house to keep my mind off of the waiting.
We will post some tummy pictures this weekend! We will keep you posted! Check the blog for news…last time our phone connection in the hospital wasn’t great so we will for sure update here!
