NST and LAST OB Appointment!

Went in for my NST (non-stress test) and LAST OB visit (whoo hoo!). The baby wasn't cooperating at first and we had a hard time picking up the heartbeat which was the scariest thing ever, but eventually we got the heartbeat but I had to hold the monitor on myself pressing it into my stomach which was very uncomfortable, but they said not to worry that baby was just laying in a bad position. SO eventually we got enough of a tracing and the baby looked fine. On to the OB appointment, blood pressure still perfect, no progress has been made though. So we pretty much just sit tight. If I go into labor or my water breaks then wonderful, otherwise we go in Thursday for a repeat c-section. We have done everything we possibly could to try to avoid going through major surgery this time, but it's looking like it's not going to happen.

My wonderful doctor has been so supportive and he promises this c-section experience will be different...I hope so. So we are getting last minute stuff taken care of and trying to arrange care for Logan since I will need more help at the hospital from Matt since recovery will be rough again. If I have the c-section I won't be leaving the hospital until next Monday which unfortunately is Logan's birthday so we are trying to get last minute stuff done so we can have a little celebration for him on his real birthday and of course his party the following Saturday, it's going to be tight but we will get it done. So for sure in 3 days we will have our next bundle here with us and everyone will finally know boy or girl!
