Peanut is 38 weeks! When Ella was born she got stuck and any bigger would of ended up in a C-Section. She weighed 7lb 6 oz. Apparently I have a small birth canal, which I should of known since I broke my mom's pelvis when born and my sister had to have a csection because baby wouldnt fit through. I think I was very lucky with Ella that my doctor induced at 38 weeks with her. So.. with all that said, our game plan was to get an estimated weight of peanut last week which we did and baby was 7lb 2 oz. Then, we were going to induce this Friday! So as the woman I am, I like to keep timelines in my head, you mess with my timeline and I kinda freak out! (Just ask my husband). So I go into the doctor and she starts the exam and immediately says this baby is transverse. What?! Meaning baby is NOT head down and is very sideways. Peanut has hung out this way almost all of my pregnancy, you could look at my belly and it sat sideways (kinda funny). So, obviously peanut can not be induced when he or she is not head down. I was devastated, I actually really enjoy the whole labor and delivery process and have been looking foward to it with this baby. Because we are at a catch 22 with this process being, we cant wait too long for peanut to flip because of the size issue and with a CSection size doesnt matter we decided to wait until this coming Monday to see what happens. So Monday I will go in the morning. If peanut has flipped we will go straight to the hospital to induce if peanut continues to be stubborn we will schedule a CSection for a day during the week. Hopefully sooner in the week than later! I am so ready to meet this sweet baby! So until Monday I will start doing some inversion positions a couple times a day that have been recommended and let the good Lord do His thing. I know if I end of in a CSection it's totally His plan and not my own. We plan on having a birth photographer so she will capture every moment just the same. I am so thankful for my supportive Husband, Friends, and Doctor. Bags are packed, carseat is installed, and we are ready to meet our new addition however it may happen :)
