Three and a half weeks to go, or maybe less !

Maybe less.. So the latest news is that babys head is still not down. We have another scan and monitor to check that everything is ok tomorrow and then twice weekly after that. Lets hope that she's decided to move, but I think I still feel her head pushing upwards between my ribs , you can imagine how comfortable that is ! So if she is still in the breech position , I will go back on Monday and they will schedule a c section. Not exactly what I had planned , I do very sad that it may not be a natural labour , but not as much as I thought I would. As long as she is delivered safe and healthy. The one thing that does concern me is that apparently it is hospital policy that the husband can not be in the room during the operation, which I'm disappointed about, but what can you do.
If it does need to be a c-section then they will probably schedule it for the week of the 21st. Still cross your fingers that she will turn ! I haven't quite given up hope.
So I've decided to stop work at the end of next week, since I won't be there half the time anyway. Even now , its more like half days. It will give me some time to get things organized at home. We bought a baby bath yesterday and a mechanic crib rocker ( present from nana, apparently her friend bought one for her grandchild and they are great ) I started putting clothes in the cupboard, so its starting to feel more like its happening. Yonatan keeps asking if the baby is ready and " baby feeling " he says she's boxing ( that's definitely what is feels like ) Its funny what he picks up on , we had been discussing her position and he comes up for a feel and says " oh here's her head and ..... here's her bum !" Can't believe I have a child that's says bum instead of bottom and fart instead of blow off. I will have to try harder next time !
