Well, the countdown has begun to Caylee's birth...!!! (not that I wasn't counting before, but now it's more official)
After discussions with both a GI Dr and my OBGYN we decided it was best to schedule a c-sec. Many people will disagree with this decision, but we are confident in their opinions. With my Crohn's disease my OBGYN feels it is much safer this way and most likely less recovery for me this way. The research on Crohn's and pregnancy is scarce and much of what I read recommended a c-sec anyways for my symptoms. Matt and I were both concerned with the effect this would have on Caylee, but the dr was not worried at all. He said that with today's medical technology a c-sec is safe and many people have them all the time. So now we are confident in the decision and very excited to hold a baby girl in just 13 days!!!
Yep, Caylee's scheduled arrival is Tues, Oct 25. This also happens to be Matt's birthday! How cool is that? No, we did not pick the date. I walked into my appointment today and the doctor told me the date he had picked. It's pretty neat though and we are really excited! Matt will never forget her birthday either!
She will be so much prettier as a c-sec baby too. NO CONE HEAD! That's the one thing that scared me when Carter was born. I was like "is his head going to stay that way?" Modern medicine is grand. Good Luck, and you're still in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteI'M SO EXCITED!!!! Don't worry about other people's opinions. All that matters is what you, Matt and the doctors decide. I'm so glad that the doctor's are watching out for you! Can you believe your baby will be in the outside world in less than 2 weeks?!!!! I can't wait to see pictures!!!! You are in my prayers! Love ya!
