Delivery News!

Our little girl has been sitting comfortably for the past several months (since 20 weeks) with her head above my belly button, which means she is breech. She hasn't flipped once! Therefore, we were given the option of having a scheduled c-section, trying a version, or just progress through labor and see if by that time she has flipped on her own, if not then we would do an emergency c-section.

After watching TLC and Discovery shows in which people had emergency surgeries where tools or sponges were left behind, we decided not to go that route. With a version I would have to be admitted to the hospital and the doctor would try to externally flip the baby. However, this doesn't always work. I read that there is a 50% success rate in the baby flipping and staying head down until delivery - the other 50% the baby doesn't flip at all or does flip head down just to flip right back up (and headed to an emergency c-section). Versions are very painful with some risk involved. Can you figure out which option we choose?!!

We have a scheduled c-section for Tuesday, April 3rd at 9 am at Trinity Medical Center in Carrollton (http://www.trinitymedicalcenter.com/CWS/MapsAndDirections.aspx). Click on the link for map/directions to the hospital if you plan on visiting us. The easiest way to get to L&D is to go in the Emergency Room entrance and ask how to get to L&D. You have to go through some doors and take the elevator up to the second floor. This is the easiest way, since L&D is right above the Emergency Room. I know I give horrible directions. Just ask someone in the ER.

Anyhow! Hopefully she will wait until that date to make her appearance. As far as her name, everyone will have to wait until she makes her appearance. I can guarantee you that her name is definitely NOT Anna Nicole.
