Update!

So....we made a practice run to the hospital today for the scheduled version that we had to try to turn the baby. It started out good, with two really bad attempts to get an IV in my vein, which look like garden hoses and I don't know how they really could have missed them. Then they basically gel up your stomach and one doc is trying to guide her head and one is trying to guide her butt and they dig in and try to make her do a somersault. They tried 3 times and she was not moving out of her comfortable spot. Hope its not a sign of things to come:) So how did it feel? Ummm......think like a deep tissue massage to the 10th degree on your stomach right where all your organs are. It was not pleasant, I'll leave it at that.
But, I am glad we tried it. Now we know we've done everything we can to try fro a natural birth and unless she turns on her own now, which they say is less than a 5% chance, this little girl has a birthdate! October 23rd, only three weeks from now, she is making her appearance into the world via C-section. So that was kind of exciting to get scheduled, and know that there's an end in sight and we get to meet her very soon! We'll keep you updated!
Two other notes - Ed and I celebrated our 1st anniversary this last weekend~ We kept it low key, but it was nice, we spent the day together, went out to breakfast, then went out to the apple orchard. Came home and napped!
And....just wanted to let y'all know that my sister right now is down in New Orleans with a bunch of her students for a class. They are working on a photographic essay. I find it a little amusing that my sister has to be the responsible one for her students. In New Orleans. hee hee. But it sounds like they're having a great time. If you want to check out her blog while she's down there, it's http://bucketinnola.blogspot.com/ (Sorry. I tried to create a hyperlink right to it, but again - technologically challenged!).
