Well, there is a lot to update you on since yesterday's doctor's visit. Yesterday I started my day with a visit to Dr. Presley. Since we knew that Jeremiah wasn't breeched we assumed this meant that I would be going into labor anytime now. Well, it looks like my body may have other plans. I am not progressing at all and Jeremiah is still very, very high. Dr. Presley is concerned that the reason he hasn't dropped is that my pelvis is too small for him to get engaged in a birthing position. We talked about what that meant for my delivery and basically here is what it comes down to. I have 2 choices. First choice is to be induced. They can cause me to go into labor and see if Jeremiah drops into position where I can push him out. The risk with this is that I could labor for hours and then still have to have a c-section, an emergency c-section. Trying to push him out of a pelvis too small can cause him distress and/or cause my pelvis to break. That doesn't sound fun. The second choice is to schedule a c-section and not try a vaginal delivery at all. Since we know Jeremiah isn't going to start coming feet first, there isn't a rush to make a determination. So, we have a few days to pray about what we want to do. Please pray with us to make the right choice. My mom will be here which brings me much peace if I have to have a c-section since the recovery is a bit longer. I have peace either way, we just want to finish this pregnancy well. We go back to the doctor on Tuesday to get checked again and if nothing has changed we will make a choice then.
Yesterday was my last day at
KIDMO! It was a bitter sweet day. I am so glad that my time of working outside of the house are over and this new season is beginning, but I have been working there since the day we moved to Nashville. August 30th would have been my 5th anniversary. My boss, Mark and his wife Terry hosted a sweet dinner for my office mates to celebrate my departure. We ate and ate and ate... Seriously, it was so good. I ended my last day with a little gift for them all. A box I titled it, Martha's leaving us survival kit. It was full of caffeinated goodies for each of them and on the outside I added some pieces of advice for making it without me. :) In all seriousness, they will be fine. It is good to feel so needed, but they can do it without me. Today I spent my first day off getting my teeth cleaned, hair cut, had a salad at my favorite spot, Blue Coast Burrito, ran to Wal Mart and then to Kroger. I put my feet up with a book when I got home and woke up an hour later. :) Guess I was tired.
