I have had such a long week! Craig has been so great. He went to Miami on Monday to pick up his buddy Blair who was just finishing up a cruise. I was originally going to go, but with moving and so many other things going on, we just didn't have time to arrange a place for the dogs to stay, so I stayed home and unpacked. Anyway, even though he's had a friend here all week, he's still put me first, hauling me to all the appointments he's made for me, not to mention calling a million places just to find a heated pool, keeping in touch with our birth class teacher, getting her advice on things, etc. Sorry Blair, looks like this was the wrong time to come visit!
Since Tuesday I've been to two chiropractors several times, I've seen two acupuncturists, one who taught Craig how to do a Moxa treatment on me (burning an herb on certain acupuncture points), I've been to the pool (so cold!), soaked in the tub, got a massage, laid head down on a decline weight bench with a heating pad under my belly button....
This morning I went to see the 2 chiropractors back to back, and Craig was telling me that we had another appointment to see the acupuncturist in the afternoon. I about burst into tears. I told him that I just wanted to be left alone! I can't have one more person do one more 'procedure' on me! I told him that I thought it would do me a world of good just to go home and really relax. He reluctantly cancelled my afternoon appointment, and I'm SO glad! I went home and slept, and just relaxed as much as I could.
Right now I can feel the baby moving more than ever, I feel like he's just trying his hardest to move into the correct position!
Tomorrow we have our External Version scheduled for 3 pm. I have to be there at 1. I don't know why I need to be there 2 hours early... but I did get quite a scare when I got a call from the hospital reminding me of my C-Section scheduled for 3:00 tomorrow. I called back and said, "I'm not getting a C-Section, I'm getting a Version!!!" Apparently they schedule it as a 'possible C-section,' since that is one of the complications of it. It really hit me that I could be having a baby tomorrow. But I honestly don't feel like that is going to happen. It cant! We don't even have the crib set up! I went out and got some of the breastfeeding gear that I had been putting off getting...just in case.
I'll let you all know how it goes! Ideally he turns head down before then and I don't have to go through with it. Next best thing would be that Dr. Dinsmoor gets him head down, and he stays there. If that happens, I hope I go into labor soon so he doesn't have a chance to turn back.
Keep the prayers coming, we need them!
