We're seeing the doctor every week now for my pregnancy. Tyler is still in the breech position, making a natural delivery almost impossible. At our 36 week appointment, the doctor told us she was going to go ahead and schedule a c-section for me. I was devestated. I really, really wanted to deliver naturally, and go through the whole "labor and delivery" process. I had a really hard day trying to come to terms with the change of plans. I kept reminding myself that it's the best option for Tyler. He's healthy and happy, just in the wrong position. It's best for him to be delivered by c-section, instead of risking his health to deliver normally.
It was a rough few days, but I have finally come to accept the c-section, and we're moving on with plans. I re-packed the hospital bag to take into account that we'll be staying at the hospital for a few more days. I'm trying to get our holiday thing together so I won't have to worry about it during those first weeks of recovery and new-mommy-ing.
Last night, I decided that Bear deserves at least one batch of homemade sugar cookies this holiday. So... off my 9 month pregnant self went to make cookies. Let me tell you... using a rolling pin is a whole new experience at 9 months pregnant! :) It was definately messy, but a few hours later, I had a double batch of sugar cookies made and cooling for when Bear got home from work.
This is what happens to your shirt when you're THAT pregnant and trying to make cookies. I had a huge flour spot on the front of my shirt. And this was AFTER I tried to dust it off! :)
We were also able to put our Christmas tree up last week. I know it's pretty early, but with the possibility that Tyler could come any day now, we wanted to be ready for Christmas. We even went and picked out a Christmas ornament this year. It's two snowmen holding a baby snowmen, and it says "Proud New Parents", with our names and the date.
