39 weeks

It's the final countdown! I am 39 weeks and still, for the most part, enjoying being pregnant.
39 weeks
The big news from our doctors appointment this week is that we have scheduled a c-section. Becca is still breech and we decided that we weren't comfortable attempting the version procedure. In talking to our doctor and some research, the success rate is a little over 50%, however, it is a very painful procedure and often the baby has a tendency to flip back to their original position. Often if they are able to flip the baby they will induce you to get the labor started while they know she is in the right position. Even then a vaginal delivery isn't always possible because the baby wasn't in position long enough.

The rest of the appointment was good. All my lab work was normal, along with Becca's heart rate. We talked to the doctor about the process of a c-section and what is expected. Unless something happens naturally, Becca's birthday will be April 17th. So we have one more weekend to get some things done and enjoy life as the two of us.

Other than that this past week has been busy doing more baby prep work. It is all last minute things that aren't that important, but would be nice to have done before she arrives. Staying on top of laundry (both ours and hers), decorating, cleaning and relaxing! We spent most of Sunday with Jordan's family to celebrate Easter. It was a beautiful day!
Relaxing nights! Cranberry juice for me, wine for Jordan!
