Swollen and not moving

Oh goodness am I swollen. I cannot imagine women who go through July and August in Tennessee. How in the world do you do it? I do not even recognize my feet.
Are you kidding me? Total cankles (is that how you spell it? is it actually a word?) Anyways, I think you see what I mean. I had a few people who see me regularly tell me that I looked like I had dropped and I had a lot of pressure the past few days so I thought for sure he had done something, but no! Dr. Macey does not think this guy is coming on his own. He actually went ahead and scheduled a c-section for Monday, April 18th if something does not happen before then. He has scheduled the c-section because he is so big and I am not progressing at all, which with that combination does not make for a good induction and 9  out of 10 times when they do induce someone like me, it turns into a c-section he says. I guess we will see? I am trying to coax him out. I think Casey actually likes the idea of the scheduled c-section. A guy he works with, his wife had two scheduled c-sections and he has convinced Casey that is the way to go. Plus Casey likes the idea of not having to wonder if this is it, the drama and the waiting that comes along with a vaginal unscheduled birth. I am not sure how I feel? except I just want him to be healthy, which Casey wants too, don't get me wrong, but the scheduled c-section sounds like a better option he thinks. So I am just trusting that whatever happens is what is meant to be. I go back next Tuesday, April 5 for the 3rd of my weekly visits. Guess we will see what is going on with him then. It really is hard to believe that no matter what happens, in 17 days (at the latest) our little guy will be here! How exciting!!

  2. That is sooooo exciting!! Don't be scared of a c-section. I knew by 8 wks that I would have to have one with Wyatt. The doctor said there would be no way I could deliver him on my own. I had a lot of time to wrap my mind around it. By the time it came around, I was just so ready to meet him I didn't care how he got here! I just wanted him to be healthy!! It all went great, just a little recovery time for myself but it was no biggie. I'm sure you will have plenty of people ready to love on that sweet boy while you heal!! Good luck girl, I can't wait to meet little Cole :)
