38 Weeks & 4 Days

So I attempted the external version on Wednesday.  And I won't ever do that again.  The experience was the worst & most painful procedure I have ever endured.  And after four attempts at turning the baby, it was unsuccessful.  I was screaming & crying, and Darren was crying, absolutely horrible.  I now have bruises on my stomach, & I'm in a constant state of wondering if the baby is okay.  Now we are scheduled for a c-section on June 8th.  So we'll be meeting our baby girl sometime that afternoon.

I'm having to change gears a bit.  No longer will we be able to fly solo in our first week with the baby.  The baby & I will be in the hospital for 3-4 nights.  Then we'll come home to be cared for by Poppie & Momma Boo.  I'm looking forward to that first week at home together.  After that Aunt JoAnn will come help us keep house & home in one piece while we continue to learn to parent our new baby girl.  I'm feeling good things coming our way & that Prenatal Peggy is keeping a close watch over her granddaughter.
