"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
This is what I will hold onto. I hate when plans change. It really bothers me, but obviously, these plans I had were mine, and not God's.
I went to the doctor this morning and I usually love these visits. Not today. Molly Grace is breech (head not down, she would come out feet first if I tried to deliver right now) and they have scheduled a cesearan section for July 6 at 7 a.m.
Now there are lots of things that could happen, she could turn. They did say she was head down a few weeks ago. The positives are that she will have a prettier shaped head, and won't have to go through the trauma of birth and it will take 1-2 hours as opposed to what would normally take many, many more hours.
The negatives: I'm a single mom. This baby only has me a parent. I won't be able to lift her for a while or drive. The recovery is longer. It's surgery. I've never had surgery.
But! Everything will be ok and I am going to be a mommy one day sooner than I had originally planned.
I love this baby girl and I hope that everything is ok. And that she would flip over.
My next appointment is June 29th. They will check to see if she has turned. But I can feel her pretty little head way up top. Then I have pre-op on June 30th. Then a baby on July 6, 2009.
I will update soon.
LOVE,
always,
Mary Beth

I'll keep my fingers crossed that little Molly Grace flips over for ya! I know that the idea of a c-section is scary, but I've heard from a lot of women who have said recovery isn't as bad or as long as the doctor's tell you it will be. Hopefully it won't be necessary and she'll turn, but if not, try to stay positive. It will all work out beautifully in the end!
