update

So we had our target ultrasound appointment yesterday... It went well and Addy is growing great. She has the most beautiful face with very fat cheeks. I loved seeing my little girl, and I am so excited to finally meet her. Her calculated weight is 5 lbs 3 oz and is wiggling and moving great. The bad news is that she is breech, and there isn't enough amniotic fluid left to be able to perform what is called external cephalic version (turn the baby by pushing on my belly). The Dr. said that he isn't willing to do it because with the lower level of amniotic fluid there can be more complications than anything trying to turn her. So now we are hoping that when I go to my next appointment she has decided to cooperate and will be head down. I was really not wanting a C-section because of all the complications that it can cause. I am coming to terms with the fact that it may happen whether I like it or not, and I am ok with it as long as my little girl will be safe and healthly when she has decided it's time for her to enter this world. Anyway we things are coming along great with her room and all we need to do is minor stuff. It's been so great to watch Brock these last couple of weeks. He is getting so excited to meet his little girl. I love when he come up to me and will rub my belly and talk to the baby. I am so happy that he is the way he is and I can't wait to see how he is going to be with her when she is officially here.
SOOOO... Now we wait...

Good thing she still has 4weeks to turn :). Post pics of her room soon. Can't wait to see how it all turned out.
