I had my baby shower yesterday and it was wonderful. I got to see so many of my friends and felt very loved. We got many wonderful gifts for baby Jude and really had a great time. I loved it!

Jude was still breech at our check-up on Friday, but I am feeling much better about it. I have accepted that a c-section is not the end of the world and am really seeing the positives in the situation. We talked with the doctor more about our plan. He told us he is willing to try the version next week if we want to, but it is completely up to me. He does not push them because they are painful and involved from my end, but he doesn’t mind trying.
John and I discussed it more and have decided not to try it. We feel that the pregnancy is in God’s hands and if Jude needs to turn, God will make sure he does. We feel that there is a possibility that he is breech to protect him from something we don’t understand, and we don’t want to try to force him to move. I know that may sound crazy, but there it is.
If he does remain breech, our doctor has given us the choice to schedule a c-section for when I reach 39 weeks or wait until I go into labor. We feel that if he hasn’t turned by 39, he probably won’t, so we will go for the scheduled section. While this was not my plan at all, I can see a lot of benefits to doing it this way, so I am feeling pretty good.
I am getting super anxious to meet this little guy! We still have some preparations to finish, but the end is definitely in sight. And its a good thing because I am feeling huge all of the sudden!
4 more weeks!
