So, last week we went for our weekly apointment at 37.5 weeks. The doctor usually has this same indifferent look on his face from week to week like you guys are just too normal...things are just fine. Well, last week he had a different look, a different tone...not the usual. So, I began to worry. Then he eased my worry by saying that the baby was ok...it's just he is not engaging and is floating around the pelvic bone. THEN he said...usually when this happens with first time mothers, the baby will not make it through on his own and you most likely will need a C-Section. So after that I just kind of tuned out and stopped listening.
We went today to get another sono and he's weighing in at 7.14 lbs which is good, but sono dr. dude said the same thing that our OB said. He says that his head is far up and he didn't think it would change. He said most likely you will need a C-Section.
So, after the Sono Dr. Dude left, I started crying for some reason. I just so badly had it in my heart that I wanted to do this naturally. I want to experience birth as God intended it. Then I realized that God is above this and we have a little over a week to pray this kid in the right position. I believe our God trumps medicine anyday. I ask you to pray with us that this would happen...that baby boy Jabek (still no name!) will fit through and will come out on his own.
We go to our OB tomorrow so we will see what he says. I'm ok with waiting this out. I don't want to have a C-Section just bc this is what the medical books say needs to happen. I have a hard time speaking my mind sometimes to Dr's. I get intimidated so I hope that I can be strong tomorrow and state my case of waiting.
anyway, its late. I need to go rest my elephant trunk feet and ankles ;-)

MK,
I think your blog is GREAT! I know people are enjoying it.
The best part is you will have all of this to look back on. This, in effect, is part of Little Boy Jabek's heritage and story, so kudos on doing such a good job.
And, FYI, I think you look gorgeous. You exude the feminity of a pregnant lady and the warmth of an expectant mother. I can't wait to meet your little man!
it's minus 2 days already...
am thinking... should i call...?
i don't want to cause if you are having a baby at the time, your hands, head, emotions will be tied.
so, even if when you read this, baby boy has popped out, no problem, i just wish and hope for everything to go well. Take care of yourself, as i've heard it's extremely tiring for the first 4, 5 months (like falling asleep whilst breastfeeding and stuff.) No shame, but just be selfish about your energy and keep it to yourself to provide for baby boy.
Muitos beijinhos a todos,
Inêz
