I understand it now: the pregnant waddle. I feel so awkward and round, and it seems to be the only way I can walk. I try not to, but I'm not sure it does any good. :) Davey seems to find it entertaining, though he tries to hide the laughs (thanks, honey). Today I've been resting and trying to stay off my feet as much as possible since my ankles are back to being swollen again. They're not really uncomfortable, just huge! I'm thankful I only have a few weeks left because I'm getting really excited to meet our Baby. I'm not miserable, but I think God made pregnancy 9 months for a reason: it's just long enough to make you ready for it to be over by the end. Not because it's horrible (at least not for me), I'm just ready. I'm running out of things to organize in the nursery. I did hang pictures the other day and put "Sunny Sunshine" in the crib. He lights up and plays music when you touch his nose. He's so cute!
Due to a scheduling error at the doctor's office, we did not get to see the OB this past week. We did see the nurse practitioner and she checked the baby's heartbeat and everything is still just fine. We know a lot of people are praying that Baby will turn heads down, and we really appreciate it. It's definitely my hope, and I believe if God wants it to happen then it will. We have chosen to have a c-section if the baby does not turn. It's a disappointment to me as I'm sure it is to most moms-to-be, but I'm feeling much better about it now that I've had some time to process. You can have the best of intentions about labor (and life in general), but you never really know how it will go until you get there. We feel we've made the best decision with the situation we've been given at this time. We're still so thankful that our baby is healthy and doing fine, and that's the most important thing. God always knows what's best for us.

Sarah,
I totally feel you on the c-ection. I had no intentions of ever having one but had to be induced 2 1/2 weeks early because of complications.Max was no where near ready to come which after 12 hours of trying to labor lead to a C-section. I really didn't want it but if I had labored and had him it most likely would have broke his collar bone becuase he was born with his arm up over his head. The Lord knows all things but it is still hard when it is not the plan you had in mind. I will keep you in my prayers, that Baby will turn, and you will have a safe and healthy delivery. Best of luck to Davey and you!
Becky
I am praying for you!
I do have to giggle when I look at the pictures of your nursery! Before you know it - you will have to move the bookshelves away from the crib because the curious monkey (as we call my little girl) will be standing in the crib, trying to climb up the side and reach for whatever may be within arms length!!! Good luck with everything!
