Well, this is about to no longer be a pregnancy blog, it's about to be a new baby blog! 2 more days until she is scheduled to come out! I have not given up hope on the idea of her turning, she could still surprise us, but I've pretty much accepted the fact that Wednesday, we will celebrate a birth!
Not that she hasn't made an effort to turn. We've done moxibustion, the version and all those helpful home-remedy ideas and it definitely gets her going. I really feel her start to move and turn, especially in the last week. She shifts a lot when I lay in certain positions, but then it's like she isn't able to turn past a certain point. So, despite all of the helpful people who say things about her being "so stubborn" and "so much fun" and "good luck with THAT personality" (what good can possibly come from these comments??), she has made a heck of a try. She still has about 48 hours, so who knows? Again, I'm ready for the cesarian and will be happy with the outcome!
However, it's starting to hit me that this pregnancy is almost over and honestly, there are times when it breaks my heart. I can't wait to meet her and I know it will be absolutley wonderful and special. But, right now, she's all mine, I don't have to share her and I know everything she does. I am going to miss feeling her move inside me soooooo much. This pregnancy has been so enjoyable and I really haven't got to the point where I'm "dying for her to come out", like so many mothers do toward the end of pregnancy. Sure, I'm sore and tired and achy, but this pregnancy has been great. Poor Nelson. He thinks that 2 is it for us, which we have agreed on for our "life plans", but I can totally see myself wanting to be pregnant a 3rd time.....a 4th time....we'll see! : ) (Don't worry, I'm not going to turn into a Michelle Duggar or anything!)
So, the plan is to be at the hospital at 6am on Wednesday, and if everything goes as planned, she should be born by 8:30 or so. We will send out pictures, texts and such as soon as we can! The doctor said we should be at the hospital at least until Saturday, if not longer, to make sure I am well and okay after surgery. We are happy to have visitors in the hospital, we just want people to call ahead and probably not on Wed. Wait until Thurs or Fri. And, we probably are thinking only 20-30 min visits or so. Don't want to wear ourselves out before we even get home! Pretty soon I'll be posting pictures of our new family!!!

Yay! I'm so excited for you! My little Hannah was always moving inside but she's actually fairly calm so how they are inside doesn't ALWAYS predict how they'll be outside...I think Hannah was just clostraphobic (sp?). Also once you have the baby it's so much fun to have her out! I forgot how many things I couldn't do while I was pregnant! I did miss my babies moving inside me though! I can't wait for pictures!
