12 days is so short...

especially when it might be even shorter!
Tomorrow we have a marathon of appointments.
First, another sono to check her position
(which according to the kicks and jabs seems to be the same!)
and then we have a consultation with the doctor
who would preform the C-section (if needed)
and we will have to chose a birth date for our sweet girl
somewhere between the 16th and 20th.
Then on to my regular Dr.'s appointment where we will get
the same old weekly check and discuss what comes next.
And then on to our last birthing class and party
which seems to me that we wasted $200 learning about birthing
when the baby will most likely be cut out of my belly!
At this point I don't care how she gets here, I just want to see her
and take her home and love her forever!

You have been blessed with the ability to see the end....you're exactly right...who cares how she gets here just as long as she gets here! Keep those positive thoughts flowing, God is bigger than any position she is in, bigger than medicine and science. But most of all, just keep your head up and keep thinking of holding that little girl for the first time. She is blessed beyond words already!

I'm like you, Val, we don't care how she gets here just so she gets here in good health and everything is O.K...I'm still praying that the lazy little thing turns in the next day or two.. Hang in there.Love, Mamaw

I can't wait for tomorrow to see what all we find out. My heart is just bursting to meet our sweet Gracie. As much as I hope she will turn I'm also kind of intrigued about the idea that if she doesn't we will know exactly when she will be here. And don't look at it as money wasted, you've gained knowledge for the future. Even if Gracie comes c-section doesn't mean the rest of the pack has to.

I'm so proud of you for not being too sad. Sometimes the best laid plans take a left turn. We'll just trust that God will work everything out as it should be.

I am sooo excited for you! Your little gracie will have a play mate coming in about nine months! We just found out we are due mid October! :)

Amen! Who cares how she gets here as long as she gets here! I am so excited for your new addition and can't wait to get back and meet her! Enjoy this time if you do have to have the c-section and prep for the big day- hey maybe Jeff could use this time to put the play pen together... I'm just sayin'
We love all three of you!
