I just realized that I haven't posted about our upcoming big day yet! Sorry to those of you who we haven't already told!
After an unsuccessful and moderately terrifying attempt at the external version to turn our little man around, we now have a scheduled cesarean for Monday March 1st. This news has been hard for me to digest but I am growing more comfortable with it the closer we get. Steve is actually more excited now that we have a birthday and he was able to plan his FMLA with school to take a whole month off to help me recoup and be with Owen. We are both a little frantic right now, Steve trying to tie up things at work and me trying to tie up things around the house. But, all will be worth it in the end to be able to spend time together as a family.
As for visitors, which we have been getting a lot of questions about, all I can say is that I have no idea how we will be feeling, how long my recovery will be, etc. If you want to come over, just call Steve to check in or email either of us. I have heard from a variety of c-section Mama's and heard healing can be as quick as a week or as long a month so I cannot answer when we will be up for it yet. Just check in with us and we will let you know :)
Wish us luck on Monday!
