36 weeks PLUS-Almost 37 weeks!

Hello everyone! :) Well---are things getting more real or WHAT!?!?! Last Wednesday at 36 weeks we went to visit good ol' Dr. Lampkin! He did an exam and I am a fingertip(dilation), thick(effacement, and high(station)! Yea-haha! Just kidding! Oh yea...plus I have a "narrow pelvis." So..this makes the decision to have a c-section vs. vaginal delivery a little difficult! I will see how things progress the next couple of weeks and then make my decision the week after next! If I have many more moments of contractions like I did ALL night last night--maybe I will make some cervical change! You definitely have to have those contractions to make change!!! Its pretty much up to me how I deliver after speaking with Dr. Lampkin! He doesn't think I won't be able to deliver vaginally-necessarily! My reservation to a vaginal delivery is the fact that it all comes back to having a narrow pelvis! I don't want to go through the labor process, make it to the end, get ready to deliver and then risk not being able to after such a long day because of my pelvis! Alot of work to end up in a c-section! Especially if I have to come in the night before for cervidil which helps ripen the cervix for labor! A possible 24 + hours of labor-ick! AND I would risk having multiple "repairs," if you will, just to get him out! My heart is not completely set on a vaginal delivery so having a c-section is not a bad thing to me at all! I see so much up at work and talk to so many people that would rather have a c-section over a vaginal delivery any day! Since I have not been there myself I can only trust what all the ladies are telling me! Anyways---the date is still set for April 20th! He will be coming one way or the other! :) Woo hoo! In the meantime, pray for a clear decision for me if you think about it! :) I have been feeling fabulous--just many moments of swollen feet (really swollen)! He is definitely making it interesting to get around and things are getting more and more uncomfortable! But.... its so worth it!

On a different note I have pictures!!! I have pictures of my nursery! We are still waiting to hang pictures of Tucker/Maternity on either side of the window once they are available for purchase and we can get them developed! By the way....we took maternity pictures on the 29th after the family left from "shower weekend" with our WONDERFUL photographer Sara Bradshaw! She is so artistic and has such a great vision! Not to mention she is so sweet! We look forward for the gallery to be revealed so we can see all of the pics! She took almost 600 pictures! WOW! She will come the week after delivery to capture Tucker in all his glory! :) Her blog is available on my blog if you would like to check her out! She has some preview pics of Grant and I on there too. We go back to Dr. Lampkin this Wednesday and I will give an update! 2 weeks from today! Yippee!
