We had a doctors appointment this morning with an ultrasound. The placenta moved from 1.7 cm to 2.2 cm. The doctor said they need at least 2 cm to do a natural birth but like to have it 2.5 cm away. Although it moved she decided to stay breech so it doesn't really matter that it moved. The doctor told us she could try to turn her but said she thought we would have a 5-10% chance of success since she is packed in there and it can be stressful on the baby. I feel like at this point she is healthy so why take any risks. Because even if she does turn the placenta is still boarder line as far as being far enough away from the cervix. So Bryan and I both decided that just going with the c-section would be the best choice. Everything looked great on the ultrasound she is as content as can be in there. The ultrasound tech said she doesn't forsee her turning on her own because she has her little butt cheeks wedged right in my pelvis. She was active on the ultrasound but still covering her face just like last time with her hands and feet. I guess she is going to wait to reveal her face until her big debut!! I am one centimeter dilated which really doesn't mean much. If I were to go into labor before our scheduled c-section then they will just deliver her at that point. Otherwise I am feeling great, just overly excited especially now that we have a date!
The basement project is coming along. It is dry and mold free so that is all I care about at this point the rest will get done. We have the baby's room all ready which is what is important at this point. We are having a rummage sale this week to clear some stuff out of our house. Whatever doesn't sell is going straight to Goodwill! I am in major nesting mode and just want the house to be ready for our new little addition and all of our company :)
We hope you are all doing well. We will keep you all posted over the next couple of weeks as the arrival gets closer! Also...pictures to come :)
YIPPEEEEE! Wow, it will be here before you know it and it sounds like you have a great outlook on everything. I had to laugh at the term "rummage" sale...we call those "yard or garage sales" in virginia :)
