So I went for my appointment yesterday, which was the first of my weekly visits. At my last visit he checked me and said Cole had not dropped any and usually they have already (at least a little), but we will just wait and see in two weeks, which was yesterday's appointment, and nothing! Apparently Cole likes his home up high and does not want to drop. I have a little over three weeks left so he still can drop, but Dr. Macey seemed sceptical that he would if he has not moved at all yet. So what does that mean? That means that Cole may not come on his own and Dr. Macey is not going to take me early just because he is big and he is out of town the week I am due, so he said we would schedule a c-section for April 18th and we would have a 10 or 11 lb baby!!! Are you kidding me? I thought I was going to cry. Mainly because I have hit that stage of I am over being pregnant, I am big, uncomfortable, swelling and just exhausted. So he is saying another month!?! Holy Moly! So please pray that Cole decides to drop. I talk to him all the time and tell him he needs to go to the light. When he is kicking I tell him to kick a little harder and break my water! Well, whatever happens will be fine. I am in good hands and I trust that whatever happens is meant to be.
On a fun note...I had a baby shower at church for Cole. It was so wonderful. I have been blessed with so many wonderful people in my life who came out and celebrated Cole's arrival with me. It could not have been any nicer. The hostess' did a wonderful job and it was just great. I had a lot of friends and family come out and share in the celebration. It is fun to see how much this little guy is loved already :)
