Oh my beautiful beautiful Isabelle. You sure do know how to leave us scratching our head wondering what next you will throw at us. Today, we had our (what we thought would be) our last doctor's appointment before our scheduled c-section on Friday. Post below about the scheduled c-section. We hadn't seen my OB doc in a little over a month so it was nice to be back with him and our awesome nurse Bev. Our OB doc was the one who was going to preform the scheduled c-section on Friday as well. When he came in, he said, do you think she flipped? I laughed and said nope, I'm pretty sure she didn't. Please go ahead and refer to my June 28th post to really understand how sucky my mom instincts are. My doctor started the ultrasound and said oh my goodness oh my goodness. Lance and I both looked at each other, looked at the screen and I'll be darned if we weren't looking at her head in the downward position. Lance and I were stunned! The doctor was stunned too. His quote of the day was, wow, I haven't seen a baby flip this late in the game in a very long time. LOL thanks doc.
I knew the second she was no longer breeched, he would cancel the c-section, and I was right. Kaiser won't do c-sections unless they are medically needed. Which when she was breeched it was medically needed. Now that she's not breeched, not so much needed. My doctor said, aren't you so excited. And I just laughed and said, yep, but I'm still in shock. Here is the thing. I had 5 weeks to come to grips that I wasn't going to be able to have a natural birth. I finally accepted it and I was 48 hours away from holding my daughter. 48 HOURS AWAY! Now, it could be a week or so before I get to meet her. So yes, I am very happy that I don't have to be cut open. But oh my, I really wanted to be able to hold and kiss my beautiful Belle on Friday. The pros of not having the c-section definitely out weigh the cons so now we just wait. Place your bets on baby watch 2012. When will she arrive?!?!?!
My next appointment is next Wednesday if I don't go into labor before that. At the next appointment, he will check to see how far along I am (right now I'm only 1 cm dilated) and then schedule to have me induced if I'm not progressing on my own.
How quickly our weekend plans have changed! We were planning on being parents this weekend and now, we are planning on going to the fair. hahahaha I'll be 40 weeks on Sunday, so here is to hoping she comes soon! We can't wait to meet our beautiful Belle!
I'll keep you all updated!
Love,
Suzanne
