Thursday's appointment went well. Nothing too exciting to report. Owen is still breech. His heart rate is stable and normal. My blood pressure is still good. My feet aren't any more swollen than expected. I lost a pound (whooohooo!? Not sure why, or how but I'll take it).
Tuesday. Tuesday is my appointment with my doctor to confirm Owen is still breech (which as of now, he is. His head is sitting 4ish inches above my belly button - so his little bum is comfortable in my pelvis). If he is breech then we schedule a version - to turn him around. This is risky and scary - it could end in an emergency c-section but the doctor I saw on Thursday was very remeasuring - in the 15 years she's been practicing she's never had to do an emergency c-section right then and there. So, we are doing it. Hopefully on Tuesday and hopefully it breaks my water and we have a baby.
Speaking of hips, on Thursday I couldn't walk. Well, I could, I just looked like an 90 year old woman who forgot her walker somewhere. Because of Owen's ever growing bum residing in my pelvis, pushing my hips apart and down - I have been in some of the worst pain ever. Yesterday and today have been much better - but it starts out better in the morning and as his weight wears on my joints I become more and more stiff.
So, I'm hoping that this is the last post I make as a mommy of one. Hoping Tuesday goes well and we go in, have a baby and come home. I'm desperate to be home with Jack for Easter.
Wish me luck! <3
