Answered prayers...

Lots to catch up on...
Ok, so last week, I had an appointment with Dr Desmarais and found that baby M was breech - so we had to schedule a C-Section for July 13th. It was a really hard pill for me to swallow, because as crazy as it sounds, I really wanted to experience the whole 'laboring' process and didn't want surgery either! But oh well...I got over it and had convinced myself it was going to be ok. I was still very scared, as this is SURGERY, but it was what it was...and I didn't have a choice at that point.

I had a quick follow up visit yesterday with Dr Rodriguez, who was scheduled to do my surgery next Tuesday. Michael came with me, so he could meet the doctor. My blood pressure was much higher than normal, but still in the 'safe' zone and the dr didn't seem concerned. I was a nervous wreck! Just kept thinking...this is it...last time I'll be here, and I"ll be in the Operating room in a few days. Dr R immediately brought in the sonogram cart to see if she was still breech - thinking a pelvic exam wasn't necessary if she wasn't head down. She measured my belly, listened to the heart beat, and everything looked fine. She turned on the machine, and felt my belly in my lower pelvic area and hummed... I didn't know what she was going on. She immediately put the sonogram right on my lower pelvis and there she was...her pretty little FACE!!! Doctor said she has a "really nice round head" and is in the right position. WOHOO!!!!! I couldn't believe it and felt like a ton of bricks were taken off my chest - such a relief!!! Soo...needless to say, we cancelled the C-Section and I am just taking it day by day at this point. My cervix is still high and tight, so my best guess is that I'll have to be induced. They usually wait about a week - so they should induce me around the 27th or so...if I make it that far. We are soo excited!! I have another dr appointment on Monday, so hopefully she will stop being an acrobat, and will stay head down!! Fingers crossed!!!!!!

I think at this point, Michael and I have decided on a name...we've changed it ump-teen times, but finally are stuck on a name. We haven't told a single person...not even my USAA insurance agent who begged me to tell her yesterday! haha. I think it'll be a special moment when she arrives, and we can formally introduce her to everyone.

The bank on the house came back and agreed to drop the price to what we requested - SOO...we close on July 16th!! We have gotten all the paperwork to them, so now its just a sit and wait until the day comes. They should be letting us know the closing costs sooner than later, so we can take care of that, but other than that...we are good to go! I signed a POA yesterday too, so if I am unable to be there, Michael can sign all the paperwork with no problems. We absolutely love the house!! We are going to take our time moving in - since we are in no rush to move out of my parents place, and we have the storage unit until the end of August anyways. We'll clean real good, and paint some prior to moving furniture and getting movers. We purchased our appliances and got a great deal on them last weekend, which is nice to have done too! I can't wait to get it all decorated and set up!

We are taking things day by day at this point anticipating her arrival - she could come at a moments notice, and we are ecstatic!! Thank you so much for all your prayers and support...we couldn't have done any of this without you!
