I had lunch with Melanie and Abby last week. We had a little picnic outside. It was great to sit outside and get some fresh air. We all are pregnant so we had plenty to talk about. Abby is 5 weeks along, Melanie 20 weeks and is having a boy and lucky me only 13 days to go.

13 days to go!

Only 13 days until my due date....YAY!

Happy Birthday Mom!

She was hoping Thomas would be born on her birthday but I don't think that is going to happen.

Congrats to Melanie and Kyle!

We just found out that our friends Melanie and Kyle Whitmire are going to be having a precious little boy in November. We are so excited for them and pray for God to bless that baby to grow strong and healthy. Thomas is very excited to! He is looking forward to having someone to play cops with.

3 weeks and counting!

The external cephalic version (EVC) was successfully. They were able to turn Thomas…YAY! It was very painful, but will be worth it in the end. All we have to do is hope and pray the little guy doesn’t turn back into a breech position. The weird thing is when they got me all hooked up to the machines yesterday the doctor asked me if I was feeling ok. I said yes and asked her why and she said I was having contractions that were close together. They gave me a shot to help try and slow them down so they could perform the procedure and it worked, but I left the hospital and was still having some contractions, but they were nothing to get too worried about. We spent the whole day at the hospital. Dustin was a trooper I could tell he was tired; he had worked the night before and was going on no sleep. I don’t think I could have gotten through yesterday without him, he is such a great husband and told me he was very proud of me and Thomas. Now it’s just time to wait. The little guy should be here sometime within the next 3 weeks!!

Just a few more weeks!

Today we have a doctor’s appointment and are going to start making some decision. Right now Thomas is in a frank breech position and the doctors want to try and turn him. The procedure is call an external cephalic version (EVC). It’s done by applying pressure to the abdomen and manually manipulating the baby into a head-down position. It can be very painful to the mother but usually presents no harm to the baby. We haven’t decided on what we are going to do, but after talking with my some of my family and friends they think I should just schedule a c-section. I’m hoping Thomas will just turn on his own. Not sure if I want to go through all that pain, after all if he wants to turn he will. He’s just comfortable in the position he is in. We had an ultrasound last Thursday and the poor little guy looked so smashed in my tummy. Not even sure if he has room to turn at this point.

No matter what we decide the ultrasound showed that he was a very healthy growing little boy. They even commented that he has fat cheeks. Just a few more weeks and he will be here. I will keep everyone updated!

27 days and counting!
