34 weeks!!?! Is this real?

So, we've made it this far. It's thrilling yet extremely scary to know that my baby is healthy now and could easily survive outside of the womb. She's breech so that has me concerned. I assume that there is a reason for this presentation and am not of the mind to try a "version" (where doctors exert physical force in order to turn the baby to the normal vertex position). The cerclage is scheduled to be taken out during the 3rd week of April so we're talking 2 1/2 weeks!! I find out tomorrow if a C-section will be scheduled due to the breech presentation. What can I say? We are ready to be parents. Our house is completely "babyfied". Caley has it all, the chic crib, pack 'n play, swing, jumper, tons of clothes, blankets, burp cloths, bottle warmer, Diaper Genie....it goes on and on. I try to imagine the moment when our eyes meet for the first time. I know that my imagination will not do the actual moment justice. It is a magical moment for every mother. This pregnancy has taught me to live in the moment, to be grateful for what is happening right now, to be still, to trust and to accept that I can't control my situation, only respond to it. I plan to start a Caley blog once she's here. There will be so much more to write about....so many firsts. Thank you for sharing with us thus far. Peace.
