Belly Shot-One week to go

Here is the most recent belly shot. It was taken today. Here is an update: We went to the doctor on Monday and I am measuring 39 weeks. As of now, Riley is still breech...so, we will be giong to the doctor again on Thursday (9th) to see if she is still breech and then I have to go get blood work done at the hospital on Thursday. Then, Friday at 5:45am James and I will be at the hospital getting ready for our 7:30 surgery time for our little girl to come into this world. I am more than ready for her to be out! I just want to see what she looks like and hold her. I am even more excited to see the doctor had her to James and see him hold her :0) Precious. My honey is going to be a Dad in no time.

Funny Story: So, today I forgot to take some meat out of the freezer, so I told James to meet me at the Taco Bus near our house for dinner. (p.s. it is so good, and cheap!) So, I go inside the bus and wait for James to show up, when the girl behind the counter (who I have never seen before and we have been there like 20xs) asks me when I am due, I tell her next week. Then, she asks me if she can touch my belly...I smiled and said "sure!" So, she rubbed my belly for what felt like a minute. Then, she said "You are having a girl, I can tell because your belly is high and you're not very big." I smiled and said "Yes, I am supposed to be having a girl, you're right." Lastly, she asks me if I will come back after the baby is born so she can see it. I told her that I was sure we would be back with her sometime. I thought that was a cute story...just a side note I think she was excited because she told me that she had 2 miscarriages...so it wasn't creepy to me that she was all into me being pregnant and having a baby.

James & Cameron

James got to go to dinner with Cameron and his companion while he was out in Colorado for a Career Expedition with the school. James really enjoyed seeing his little brother!

BREECH BABY

Well, what can we say? Riley, like her mother likes to make things difficult...can't be like everyone else and come into the world like most babies. We had a doctor's appointment today and the doctor was measuring me as normal and feeling on my stomach when the question came...."When was the last time that we've done an ultra sound?" James said "like forever ago, why?" That's when he said "I think she might be breeched." GREAT! Just what I wanted to hear. So, we got an ultra sound and sure enough she is breeched...not only breeched but bottom down, not even her legs. So, that is when he said we needed to make some decisions.

He said that we could try and flip her, which that would be done next week and I would have to go to the hospital for that. Or, plan on having a C-section. The doctor said that there is a 50% chance of it even working, and she could just flip right back if it did work. Also, there is a chance that it could cause my membrane to break (causing me to go into labor and get a c-section) or the ambilical cord could wrap around her neck in the process of flipping her (causing them to rush me into the emergency room, for a c-section). So...needless to say that I am probably going to have to get a C-section either way.

Our Decision: So, James and I decided that we would go ahead and plan for a C-section, because it seems like less going wrong with Riley. We didn't like the odds of what could go wrong versus the benefit of flipping her. Plus, why would I go through that pain if it might not work and a C-section be inevitable? Also, the thought of trying to flip her and it causing me to go into labor and having Riley a MONTH early...just isn't fathomable. So, now we are probably going to have a C-section scheduled for July 10th..that is if she doesn't throw us another curve ball. :0) Oh well, what can we say, we love her no matter what way she decides to come.

Riley's Room

Here is Riley's crib and bedding. Right now we have the bear James gave me for Christmas keeping her spot warm for her until she gets here. You can't see the letters ( R S G) on the wall behind the crib...but their there.

Here is her changing table. I decorated it with the ribbon I got off the presents at the baby shower. You can also see my diaper bag. So cute! We already have her outfit for when she comes home picked out.

Here are some other decorations in her room. As you can see to the left, I made a shelf to hang & hold all the bows and headbands Andrea made her. So cute! We are so excited for her to come. I am terrified too, but for the most part really excited. Only 7 weeks left. :0)

Hair Close-Up

Here is a picture of my hair again. I LOVE it, I love the depth it gives my hair. She did a great job..gotta love when you can go to someone and tell them what you want and they can deliver! Too bad she is leaving Idaho. Can you believe I got my hair highlighted and cut for $29...that's including a tip! Man, i'm going to miss that about Idaho. :0)

Hair

So, I decided to go get my hair done. I had already had it dyed all over, so I just got some highlights. I LOVE it! Gotta do something to make myself feel pretty when I feel like the fat girl in the room :0)

Not Much Longer....

So, here is the most recent picture of me and Riley. It is funny because I am getting bigger and James is getting smaller! James has lost 15 pounds! I should really be posting a picture of him...but he won't let me yet. So, here is a picture of the big prego lady. :0) It's all good, my doctor said that I am measuring perfect, not too big! I have to keep telling myself that. When I see this picture I realize how big I am, but when I look in the mirror I don't see myself that big. Oh well. :0)
