Stubborn already?

Henry update . . . I went in on Thursday afternoon for my doctor's appointment. Everything looks good, heartbeat was 131, sugar and protein levels were fine. I have gained a total of 24.5 pounds thus far.

However, either my doc was wrong last week or Henry has moved because he is breech. He is far enough along now where he won't move to the head down position on his own. So, we are going to try a procedure called external cephalic version (ECV), in which the doctor manually tries to move him to the head down position by pressing and moving my stomach.

In order to do this, Henry's amniotic fluid levels need to be sufficient and he needs to weigh less than 7.5 pounds. To find out if he meets these two criteria we will have to have another ultrasound. So, we are going in Monday at 7:45am for the ultrasound to see if ECV is indeed a viable option.

If so, I will go into the hospital on probably Wednesday to have the ECV done. If not, we will have to schedule a c-section. I know people have c-sections all the time and it's a common procedure, but I am still hopeful that we can avoid this route. Bottom line, we will be elated with a healthy baby however the type of delivery.

Will keep you posted on the events of next week as we know more . . .
