Baby Update

We went to see Dr. Mattu on Friday last week & learned that the baby is still breech. Then the ultrasound showed that the umbilical cord is wrapped twice around the neck so....instant decision for surgery birth! Baby is doing fine & very active, we just get to pick his/her birthday.

My folks arrive on February 11th & we need to pick a day the week of February 9th...Kenny is opposed to February 13th (Friday - who knew he was so superstitious?) so February 12th it is if the doctor is available. I will find out tomorrow.

Now that we have a date on paper this is coming up pretty darn quick. Time to tie up loose ends!

Too bad my body doesn't know it will be a surgery birth & is stretching to get ready - ugh! People don't tell you about these things!

So all is good news and everything is expected to be fine - no worries! We are still waiting to find out if we will have a daughter or a son & have 3 names picked out for each so we will decide when we meet him/her.
