external version

tomorrow at 2pm wee and i will check into the hospital to have what is called an "external version". when we found out that wee was frank breech we also found out this is a procedure done by a physician that gives me a chance for a vaginal delivery. so, i will have an epidural and some muscle relaxers and then they will attempt to flip wee back around! of course i have been up watching you tube videos of it and trying to wrap my head around this whole process, not what we expected, but a step closer to meeting our little one. fingers crossed it works!

if it does work, we will leave the hospital and wait for labor to start, if it doesn't work then we still have to leave the hospital until i start labor, or hit 39 weeks, which ever one comes first. vanderbilt hospital won't perform a c-section until 39 weeks unless i am in labor, so either way we get to come home tomorrow after. the pups will be happy to know that :)

my amniotic fluid is a little low, so they told me to drink LOTS of fluids, and as a result i am up every 20 min or so in the night to pee. i am sure i will not miss the pressure on my bladder! i will definitely miss the kicks and squirms though, they are so real right now and when i feel most connected to wee.

my mom flew in yesterday (thanks mom!!) and i had my last day of work! big day. realizing my mom is here because i am having a baby! and i won't be back at work for months...crazy! our whole lives are changing so fast and i really can't wait to ride this train. i know it is going to be rocky at times, but i feel so blessed to have all my family and friends around me, the outpouring of love is just amazing and brings me to tears. thank you to everyone who has posted that they are thinking of us, thank you for everyone who hasn't posted but is thinking of us. we appreciate your love and support and thoughts more than i could ever express in font. i love you all so very much and can't wait to share wee watson with each and every one of you.

i am off to read some more and get comfortable with the day ahead of me tomorrow- on todays agenda, find a pediatrician and get a pedicure! not a bad first day of maternity leave :)
