Baby Update.

Hey Everyone!

Today is officially our due date!

A lot of people are wondering and asking what is going on, when is our baby coming, is it today, am I being induced...

Well, we had another appointment this morning and our baby is still backed out of my pelvis but is head down, just not engaged. My cervix has been posterior and still is, which basically means it's really high. With the baby's help, it needs to be pushed farther down before we can begin labor.

Our doctor told us today, that if we were to go into labor right now, we would most likely need a cesarean. He told us we need to wait this weekend out and hope that the baby moves back down and begins his/her descent to help everything get ready.

I don't like the options that come with having a cesarean! One is general anethesia, which would put me under and I wouldn't be awake to witness our baby's birth and the moment where they say "its a..." but that would only be if I began with an all natural labor and then had an emergency c-sections. The other option is an epidural which I really do not want, but I would be able to be awake for the delivery, just unable to hold our baby until everything was finished.

Please pray with us that our baby moves down this weekend and everything begins naturally! It's my heart's desire to have an all natural labor and delivery and to have that precious moment when they place the baby on me.

We are hoping and praying for the best! Obviously our greatest desire is our baby's safety and we will do whatever it takes for that.

Please join with us and pray!
Thank you!!!

Love,
Jami & Ted
