So we went in today for the c-section. I was all hooked up, in a gown and awaiting my spinal. The anesthesiologist was getting me to sign off on the final papers and the doctor came in with the sonogram machine to get one last peek at his position. Sure enough Owen was head down. SOOO after much anticipation, farewells to Jackson and not much sleep the last few days we were sent home to wait a few days. I am contracting every 5-6 mins but nothing strong enough to make fast changes. I will go in Sunday night to begin induction if he hasn’t come by then. In the meantime I am drinking raspberry leaf tea and looking up any old wives tales that might move this along. Of course the concern is that he will move back and I will still need a c-section so please pray with us that this is for real and that we can move forward without a c-section.

Kristen and I head to the hospital today for a C-section.  Owen is still breech and supposedly a “gigantic baby” so the doctors said it’s time to get him out.  And since she is 39 weeks tomorrow, it’s a good time for him to come.  Kristen is definitely ready to not have a head under her ribs and feel so uncomfortable.

We’re looking forward to meeting him and holding him.  As is Jackson.  But I think Jack will be distracted for a few days since we’re supposed to get 12 inches of snow starting tonight.
