So a LOT has been happening, ... We just moved back in with my parents. Chris's work situation is less than ideal (can't go into detail about that). And we were a little nervous this munchkin was going to come early when I ended up in the hospital with contractions that were 5 minutes apart (at only 34.5 weeks). HOWEVER! The baby has not come yet, thank goodness! BUT...he is breech. Or at least the Dr is 95% sure. I will have an ultrasound Monday to be 100% sure, then if he is still breech on Wednesday the Dr. will try to flip him around.
Which apparently is a very uncomfortable process. I will go to the hospital into labor and delivery where the Dr will literally push the baby around by pushing on my stomach...then they will monitor the baby for 4 hours to be sure everything is alright. If everything is alright I go home and we proceed as normal. IF my water breaks during this process (or at any point while he is still breech) they will have to do an emergency c-section...and if he doesn't turn around, or stay put after being turned around then I will also have to have a c-section. According to the internet this "flipping" process has a 65% success rate...we'll see what happens. I am praying he will turn on his own before Monday...

Steph I didn't know that you were in the hospital with contractions!! That's crazy. I'm glad the baby hasn't come yet, and I'll be praying for ya with the whole baby-being-breech thing.
