Welp - Getting close now! Only a few more weeks .. 2 weeks we are
thinking .. unless ...... well ...

The baby has decided that the way to be born is booty first.


The lil stinker turned .. again. He was "headed" in the right
direction but then changed his mind aparently. This isnt a big deal for
now. The doctor wants me to come in on Wednesday the 21st to have him
turned.


Im not Real sure exactly how they do this ... its external ... I
supposed some pushing and shoving is involved. (Like I dont get enough of
that from the inside already ).


Three things can happen during this lovely sounding process -
* Worst case: the placenta separates (OW!!) and thats pretty
unlikely and dangerous.
* My water could break ... meaning baby is comming, ready or not!
* I could go into labor later on that night or soon after. No biggie. We are pretty ready for that, just in case. (And the Grandmas are Counting on it!)


So thats that! Fun fun fun ..... .

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Everything should go just
fine.
We will keep everyone posted!

Love,
Adriane, Jarrett, Jake and ..... new baby ... we really need to agree
on a name!

That's wonderful! Best of luck with the attempted turning. I had to have that done with my firstborn. I was a little sore the next day (my back from resisting the pressure, and my tummy from the dr's hands.) It's sort of like removing bubbles from a waterbed. Get em all cornered and "headed" in the right direction. Mine didn't work, but you have a much better chance having had other children. Worst case is a c-section, and that's not that bad either, which is the way we had to go.

Good vibes and prayers!

Maybe you'll have Baby New Year! Isn't there some contest or something that you can win a bunch of baby stuff, if yours is the first born after New Year's?
