November 17?!?

Well, it looks like we may have a birthday for Jack! I am now 36 weeks and 3 days - and Jack is big - and BREECH. I've tried yoga, acupuncture, moxibustion and chiropractic .. and he has not budged. It is not impossible that he might still turn - but it is unlikely. So at this point - this wanna be crunchy birth mama has scheduled a C-section for November 17. Most docs will no longer attempt breech deliveries, neither will my midwives, risks outweigh the benefits. As we've already dealt with enough risk in this pregnancy - we're going with the C-section. I'm disappointed - it's not the birth I would have chosen - but I am getting over it. I am very, very, very excited to meet Jack. It's a moment I've been waiting for my entire life. :-)

I am 31 weeks pregnant! I am having a boy and a girl! Our little boy will be named Grant Christopher Davis. Grant is after the RE that helped us get pregnant. My little girl will be named Liberty Grace Davis. We will call her Libby. Libby weighs 3lbs. 8oz. and Grant weighs 2lbs. 6oz. Libby might be bigger but Grant is determined to be the older brother. His head is down as far as possible in my pelvis. Libby is breech. So Grant will come out first and then they will hopefully be able to turn Libby with the help of ultrasound and my OB. If I make it to the week of Dec. 14 I will be induced! I will keep you posted!
