Well the baby has changed position. Instead of being feet first, he/she is butt first. ARGH! The doctor has rescheduled the external cephalic version (manually turning baby) for Monday at 6AM in the morning. I will be given the choice to use anesthesia in the form of an epidural during this procedure or bear the pain. I'm going to start out with no medication and see what takes place. I have been in pain for 3 days now but it seems to be due to the booty of my baby sitting deep in the pelvis. Please continue to pray for me.

Baby Shower
The baby shower was Saturday. There are a lot of things that I could say, but I won't. However I did get plenty of diapers and other useful baby items. I'm making a lot of preparations and praying that God will help me through this process. On Sunday I talked to the pastor about the christening and baby dedication. This will be an exciting time for my family to come together for a joyous occasion.
As for the medical side of things, the baby still hasn't turned head down so I'm a bit anxious about Tuesday. The obgyn is going to attempt an external cephalic version and hopefully I can avoid a cesarean. To inspire some happy thoughts, I have included a few pictures today. Below is the nursery, pack n play, and the baby travel system (3 in 1).
