Worth Celebrating

Thank you for all of your prayers lately!

Plus, thank you God for blessing us so quickly!

Today, December 13, 2008....

Our little a/c was resurrected from the depths!

(Did you think that I had a baby?)

Three leaks were located, sealed, and had caps replaced to

prevent future problems!

It has been said that this week may reach the 80's here,

and now I can endure it without completely melting!

It doesn't take much to make a pregnant

lady happy, does it?

By the way, I am 37 weeks and 3 days!

Monday I will be right back at the doctor's office,

and I will be blogging with further updates soon!

Now, lets cheer on baby Bock to

TURN BABY TURN!!!

Good News or Bad News?

Do you want the good news or the bad news first?

Bad news: Baby Bock has not yet turned into the correct position for delivery at almost 37 weeks gestation.

Good news: I don't have a c-section scheduled, yet. Plus, there is no sign of a physical problem with the baby causing him/her not to turn.

Here is our game plan. Monday (Dec. 15) I will pay another visit to the doctor to see if my body is making any process towards delivery. If so, I will be scheduled to check into the hospital to try to move the baby. If the doctor is successful, I will be induced that day. If there isn't any change, I will have a c-section (scheduled or otherwise).

December is HERE!

Yeah, December is here! My favorite time of year! I love the lights, smells, sounds, and feel of this month! This weekend we'll kick it off by going to a town parade, visit Santa Claus, and bake some yummy cookies!

I finished my shopping in early November; but this year, the best present will be, adding a new baby to our family! What a precious gift! Not to mention, the wonderful family and friends we are blessed with throughout the year!

Don't forget, we'll be going to see the specialist Dec. 8th to find out if this little one has settled into the correct position. If not, we could be celebrating his/her birthday by Dec. 12 !

I've been keeping a secret....

I must confess a secret. There hasn't been many moments since June that I've been confident in this pregnancy. Ever since getting news that there could be a problem, I've held my breath. Every time a test comes and goes a part of me won't let go of the worry.

Now another hurdle? I know that it isn't super uncommon for a baby to be breech, but there are studies that show there could be potential neurological problems associated with breech babies; that worries me. Could this be why my initial tests came back problematic? (A question that is nagging at me.)

I didn't realize how I've suppressed my worry since our last tests came back favorable, but apparently, they're still hiding within. Maybe that is why I have been trying everything so aggressively to make this baby turn, but with every day that passes...it gets harder. I just need to know that this baby is OK, and the only way to do that is to have him/her here.

I am praying in these last weeks that God restores His peace within me, and that our baby will be born (with out surgery) healthy, healthy, healthy.... if you can join me, please do!

Sunny Side Up

Well, we went to the doctor yesterday for a routine ultrasound and found out that our baby is now breech. This baby had been head down from the very beginning. Imagine our surprise (and disappointment) when we saw the head near my rib cage. Now I wait. In two weeks, we go back to the specialist to see what baby Bock decided to do. We are praying for a flip (just one) by 36 weeks. I do not want to have surgery and the recovery that goes along with it right at Christmas time. So join me once again, please, prayer people....!

The Sex of the Baby IS....

Take the poll and tell me what you think it is....
