Emily and I went to see her doctor yesterday for what was hopefully her last visit. Dr. Littles made us an appointment for Tues. the 8th at 9:30 am in the labor & delivery ward of the hospital. Of course, it still may not go according to Hoyle due to the baby still being breach. The plan (as it currently stands) is that Dr. Littles will hook Em up to a lot of monitors, and then she will try to turn the baby for delivery by pushing on the outside of Emily's belly. The procedure is supposed to range from being uncomfortable to painful, and Em is not exactly excited for that part, but if thats what it takes....
Of course the monitors are there for a reason. If in the process, Himaya should have a dramatic change in heart rate, or if they think the cord has been pinched, they will perform an emergency cesarean... but we are hoping it doesn't come to that. The C-section might also be warranted if Dr. Littles can't get her to turn. Either way, the time is finally come, and I couldn't be more excited!
