No More Waiting!

Tomorrow is the day that we have been waiting for. Today was a pretty long day, and both Mike and I are pretty exhausted. We went in for our doctors appointment this afternoon. We had our ultrasound first and it was determined that my placenta was looking good as well as the amount of fluid in my uterus. It was also determined that based on the measurements that the nurse did Avolyn Rose is measuring 10 pounds 14 ounces. Because of this news our doctor talked to us about the pros and cons of natural delivery. She also discussed in great detail her concerns of birthing a big baby and more specifically getting her shoulders out. After much discussion with the doctor and then Mike and I talking we have decided to have a c-section tomorrow at 2pm. This is not at all what we have been thinking would happen. I have been a bit emotionally today. I have loved being pregnant and enjoyed becoming a mother. Having a c-section, to me, feels like I have been short-changed and unable to fulfill something that I have been passionate about. I also realize that this not the end of the world and that this time tomorrow we will have our little piglet here...and that is what I need to focus on....and that is what it is all about. So please send some positive thoughts tomorrow at around noon when we are due at the hospital and then at 2 pm when Avolyn will arrive!! Thank you for all of your support and I promise some pictures of this little lady as soon as we can.
