2 weeks from today, DH and I will be welcoming our little baby girl to the world! Last Thursday we went in for an ultrasound and the Dr confirmed the Lillian is still breech. He said because of the fluid level around her the likelihood she will flip at this point in the pregnancy is pretty slim. Assuming she doesn't flip this week or next, we are scheduled for a c-section at 6:30am on Feb 2, 2011.
The doctor is on vacation Feb 4, 5, and 6th. Although I am not due until Feb 7th, he didn't want to risk me going into labor while he was gone and having one of his partners perform the surgery. He didn't want to do the c-section on the 3rd, since he'd be leaving the next day so Feb 2nd it is!!! So little Lillian will be a ground hog which seems appropriate since she doesn't want to poke her head out. She'll also share a birthday with my father which is pretty cool!!
I was pretty disappointed at first because I have been dreaming about a natural birth since I first got pregnant, but in the last few days I've come to peace with the situation. I've been doing lots of research on c-sections, breastfeeding after c-sections and recovery from c-section. I have my weekly appointment tomorrow and have about 25 questions for the doctor. Let's all hope its a patient man.
2 weeks and counting!

So exciting! I know it was hard to come to terms with the C, but it is NOT a failure and you will be so happy when little Lillian is here that I'm sure how she came out will seem inconsequential.
