Dr Appointment/New Job

We had our Dr's appointment yesterday and found out the baby is STILL breech. I love our Dr though. He is very conservative and has been doing this since like the ancient times...so his practices are very conservative as well. He brought up the version again, and went over the procedure and his viewpoints on it. He said that he is not very successful performing the versions and it is mainly because he doesn't like to force the baby to move. He told me that if/when it were to happen, we would go to the hospital, ( he likes to perform the procedure at the end of 37 beginning of 38 weeks) and he would give me the muscle relaxer via IV. He doesn't push hard, and will only move the baby if it seems it would like to move. This made me feel good, being that i don't want to put stress on the baby, which could cause complications. He also put my mind at ease for the chance that i will have to have a cesarean. I had always pictured delivering naturally, and not by cesarean. He told me that the recovery is NOT as bad as people think, and is really only bad when people have 30 (random number) hours of labor and then have to have a cesarean. Our dr said, we would schedule the cesarean, and i would come in "fresh as a daisy." That really put my mind at ease, and i know that whatever God has planned for us, will be, and my only concern is that the baby is healthy. So, whatever means it needs to come into this world for that to happen will be how he/she comes.


Besides that, i have been a bit distant from Blogging...there has been a lot going on at home with projects and such.


Last weekend we went to my grandmas with my brothers and Chucks fiance. They had their big town festival so we went to see a band and had burgers and went to the beer garden (water garden for me) on Friday night. Saturday during the day was the parade in town, and then Saturday night was the big rodeo. It was a lot of fun. My grandma made some excellent food, and of course sent mounds of it home with us which i have been eating all week so far.


We are going to stay in town for the remainder of the pregnancy, so we don't have too many plans going forward. I will just be getting things ready around the house for baby. Adam is working on a project for a guy he knows through work, doing some work on his house. In exchange, the guy (who owns a window company) is going to purchase and install brand new windows in our house!!!! Yippee! Our windows are, no kidding, from the 1960's, and are TOTALLY inefficient. So it will be nice to have new windows.


Finally, i don't think i mentioned, but i got a new job. I will fill in the details on everything once all is confirmed, but it is a great opportunity, and i will only be working P/T which will be so nice. Because of that change, we are looking for Adam to find a new opportunity, making more $. If anyone knows of any good jobs, probably sales related, for Adam, LET ME KNOW :)


Please keep us in your prayers these next few weeks. Pray that God does what he pleases with this baby, turning or not, and that we wrap things up on our house projects. Pray that Adam finds a new job, and that baby continues to grow and stay healthy.


LOVE YOU ALL!!! :) 39 days until BABY :)


Oh, here are some pictures of Bella, my parents dog....:)
