Tonight I got to take a little break from the crazy house stuff (for a while)! My dad and stepmom took me out for an early birthday dinner! I quickly picked Olivia up after work and headed out to meet them. We ate at a sandwich place by them...which I LOVE. So good. After chatting and watching Olivia entertain the joint, I was on my way home. Christian had met up with his mom after work to go "Father's Day shopping" with her...really, that's code for "your birthday is tomorrow, I need to go get your present". Nothing like waiting until the last minute for everything! We both met up at home, relaxed for a few minutes, put Olivia to bed...and took the night off from cleaning. Well deserved!
Today also marks 33 weeks for me! Yippie, 49 days to go! Yesterday I had a check-up with Ann. She said I was looking great. My blood pressure was the lowest it's every been, which was great! She measured me, and I'm measuring right on spot. She listened to baby's heartbeat, which was perfect as can be! Then, she squeezed around to determine baby's position. She was very confident that baby is head down! I couldn't believe it...I kept asking her if she was sure! I've never heard those words before! After the initial excitement wore off, a little bit of fear set in. While I want a VBAC so badly, it's scary! I think even though a VBAC is my intent, I still had convinced myself this baby would not turn and it wouldn't even matter. To hear that she is head down, which Olivia NEVER was, makes the possibility that more real. Of course there is still plenty of time left, so who knows what will happen...but WOW, this could REALLY happen the way I've been hoping and praying!
My next appointment is in 3 weeks...if she's not positive on baby's position, she'll be send me for an ultrasound. So, on 6/29 we should know for sure what the plan is. Either, we'll be letting nature take it's course, I'll labor and everything will go as it should (well, as long as it happens before 41 weeks...she won't let me go past that). OR, we'll be scheduling the c-section if baby has turned back up, most likely for 7/23. CRAZY!
