36 Week Appointment

We have an upside down baby....

Eric and I went to our 36 week appointment this morning and found out that what the doctor thought was a butt in my ribs is actually his head. Baby Holick is breech and seems to like his position. Soooo...looks like we will be scheduling a c-section in case he doesn't turn around in the next couple of weeks.

Not really sure how I feel about this turn of events. There really isn't one ideal way to give birth. On one side I won't have to go through the whole labor process but on the other side, recovery will be much more difficult. I think what is really bothering me is that I won't be able to hold him right away after he is born. I guess as long as he his healthy and right-side up in the end it really doesn't matter how he comes out.

We have weekly appointments at this point so I'll be sure to update the blog about baby's latest position next week.
