Silly little baby...

I am 37wks! :)
last week the doctor check my cervix and tested me for that bacteria stuff. cervix was still closed and baby's head was down.
this past check up on Wednesday she told me the test came back positive, which is okay because lots of women are tested positive and they'll just give me an IV with antibiotics to keep the baby safe during labour. when she tried to find his little heartbeat, she was having major issues. usually he likes her and she is able to find his heartbeat right away. I wasn't nervous because he had been wiggling around inside all morning. she finally had to cheat and use an ultrasound machine. "bad news," she said. "baby's head is right here." she pointed under my right ribcage where his feet have been for a couple weeks. he decided to flip! breech! oh goodness, little boy. she looked around and said that there isn't enough fluid in the sack to flip him manually, so either he does it on his own or we c-section him out April 10th (when I'm 39wks).
I have been preparing myself for natural delivery this entire time, not even thinking about the chances of a c-section! so guess what I'm doing now...? lol. the night before my doctor appointment, we were at the dinner table when all of the sudden I jolted up straight and grabbed my stomach. it didn't hurt, but my tummy felt so uncomfortable while he was making BIG movements right under my belly button. we are thinking that is when he made the flip. I'm dreading the feeling of him flipping back, but it would be awesome if he did. I know that I didn't do anything to make him flip into the breech position, so I really don't think I'm going to try too many things for him to flip back over. I'm thinking he knows how to do it and he will probably just do it again on his own. the only thing I worry about is that he is so active, I just don't want that umbilical cord knotted or wrapped around anything it shouldn't be... what ever the Lord has planned for us will happen and I'm okay with that.
April 10th = c-section date
April 17th = due date
April 18th = induction date
we'll just have to wait and see what happens!

on a more positive and exciting note... Jacob and I had maternity pics taken today! it was beautiful weather and they were taken by a fabulous photographer. I'm excited to see the end results!!!
AND I finished signing all the papers at the hospital so we are all registered for when our sweet baby boy decides to come :)

You have got to remember

ever feel like some people just seem to have it made for them? maybe you feel like you just can't get a break. you always seem to have something to worry and stress about? your friends are living in the right spot, have great jobs, go on vacations, are able to get not just what they need but what they want... it can make moments in your life that much harder. but you have to remember:
everyone has their trials. you are given your trials because you can handle it. enjoy the moments that you have to "breathe" and be thankful for the trials that you have, for they will shape you and help you and maybe even help someone around you at some point.
