37wks

I am now 37wks. I went to the Dr. on Christmas Eve day and the baby is still breech. Dr. Harrington wants to give it a couple of weeks to see if it turns. So I go back next week and then the week after that probably the 6th or 7th of Jan I go back again and if the baby is still in breech position they will schedule a c-section for that Fri or Sat I think he said. Since the baby isn't moving much at this point, I don't know if it will turn or not, but we'll see.
Hope everyone had a great X-mas. I know we did. Alexa got lots of goodies and seemed happy with everything she got, so as long as she had a good x-mas that makes our x-mas good.
Shane has started tearing up the old part of the house, I now have no kitchen. I am sure he will get it put back together quickly. Until then we are eating microwave dinners.
Ok, well I will keep you all updated on the status of the baby.

Almost 36wks

Ok, so once again I have been slacking on the posts. Went to the Dr. on the 9th of Dec and the baby is still in breech position. They said they weren't too concerned, but you could tell they were a little bit. Now I have to have another sonogram next week to see if the baby has decided to turn yet. I will be almost 37wks at that point and if it hasn't turned by then they will schedule a C-Section. I really hope that doesn't happen, but if so I know it will be best for myself and the baby so I am ok with it.
I was feeling really good until these past couple of days and now I have horrible heartburn, my feet look like Fred Flinstones and they hurt on top of it all. I have had a little bit of swelling here and there so far, but it usually goes down overnight. Last night that didn't happen, my feet were still swollen when I woke up this morning and they hurt all day at work. If they are still swollen tomorrow I am going to call the Dr. just to make sure I shouldn't worry about it. Better safe than sorry.
I still have some last minute shopping to do so I plan to get that all done tomorrow as well as getting my bag packed for the hospital. I can't believe it's getting so close that I need to be worried about my bag being packed. After X-mas I am sure it will go very fast and before we know it we will have our little baby home with us.
Ok, well I will keep you all updated next week on if the baby decides it wants to turn the right direction or not.

33-34wks

Ok, so I have been slacking on posting. I am now almost 34wks I think. We have about 6wks left, that is if the baby decides to show up on or near it's due date. I realize that it could be 4wks from now or could be 8wks from now, depending on when the baby decides it's ready. I have one last sonogram next week so that they can see if the baby is in the correct position, then I have weekly appts from then on. I really can't believe it's so close. Luckily Shane just got the house done and we are actually going to set the crib and stuff up tonight. He has worked so hard on everything and I know he is just as excited as me that it's done and he can relax for a little while before he starts remodeling the rest of the house.
We have our Childbirth Prep class this weekend. We get to take a tour of the hospital, well at least the Maternity area and Nursery. I have never been in the hospital in my life so hopefully this will give me a little bit of an idea of what to expect. They obviously also will discuss all of the options you have for labor and deliver and teach us relaxation excercises and all of that good stuff. I am very excited to go.
Well that's all I have to update you on for right now. I will keep the posts coming as the time gets closer.
