37 Week update

Well just a quick update.

Baby #2 is developing nicely. He's measuring right on schedule (maybe a little bit big -- we have big babies!)

Stats:
Dilated to 1 1/2
50% effaced
Cervix - soft
Baby is in -3 position (+4 is baby is being delivered as I understand)

My doctor is pretty confident that we shouldn't have any problems delivering vaginally. Of course we didn't think that there would be any problems with Zack so who knows. Bob and I have decided to do a VBAC (Vaginal birth after Cesarean) for many reasons.

• Quicker recovery time
• Cost less
• Less time in the hospital

I'm nervous of course to do the VBAC because of all the horror stories online of bad VBAC's but I also know and have found very successful stories of people having them and everything working out great. So that is what we are doing. Honestly I'm just excited to be able to hopefully take a shower the same day. It seemed with the C-section I couldn't shower for a few days and when I did it was very painful because you can't get the incision wet and abdominal surgery just hurts. Plus Zack is so young and he doesn't understand that he can't jump on mommy. And with a C-section I'll be down a lot longer then with the VBAC.

So cross your fingers that everything goes as planned and we can have this kid "naturally" -- with an epidural of course.

Changing things up

It's time for this blog to go private. I really hate doing this but unfortunetly with kids it gets hard to keep things private and I want to keep my kids safe from unwanted lurkers.

Please post your email address in the comment box or if you want to keep your email private you can email me at luckeelizard@hotmail.com.

I hope that this doesn't limit who is visiting the blog, but like I said my kids are my number one priority and I have to keep them and their identities safe. This is going to be quick, but the blog will be private by the end of the week.

Thank you everyone for you support of our family and I hope you keep visiting after this change.
