interesting 2 days

It has been an interesting 2 days... Yesterday at the doctor we found that the baby is still in the breech position. The doctor gave us a choice of scheduling a "version" (externally manually flipping the baby) or a C-section. We chose to try the flipping!

We had to be up at the hospital by 9:00 this morning to get prepped. The do an IV and make you sign consent forms just in case something goes really wrong and they need to do an emergency surgery. The doctor came in at 10:00 and told us all about the procedure. Basically they have 2 doctors try and forcibly turn the baby. They tried for about 10 minutes but the baby is really stubborn and would not turn. It must get the stubborn gene from Dana's side of the family, since i don't have a stubborn bone in my body! :) I can honestly say it didn't hurt but it was VERY uncomfortable! Now 6 hours after, I feel like my inside have been beaten with a baseball bat! Since the baby didn't turn on, we had to schedule a C-section... We will have a baby on the 22nd! I am still praying that it turns on it's own and i have a natural labor. We are doing acupuncture, moxa, chiropractic, homeopathic and inversion to try to convince the baby to flip. All of that just seems to make the baby mad so that no one sleeps at night! Keep us in your prayers and i will update if anything changes!

And now... the "Belly Pictures" for all to see...
