Alanna is breech...Avigail transverse...
So it looks like I'm headed for a c-section. I'm going to make this short and I'll update with pics and things later but I'm really struggling right now. Please keep me in your prayers. I know for some women its not a big deal but birth is such a huge thing to me and I'm having a hard time processing this. I just really believed it would all work out in the end. I'm absolutely petrified of the whole surgery thing and a needle in my spine and everything else. I've never even had an IV in my whole life...much less major surgery.

I was scared to death too. I was in the exact same boat as you - never had major surgery. I remember when the anasthesiologist (???) came, I was shaking. He made this statement, "Have you ever seen a cat when it's mad?" I laughed and thought, "How nice. He's trying to make me relax." Then I figured out he was just trying to get me to arch my back. Oh well. It actually did relax me a little bit anyway! You get to be awake through the whole thing and Zac should get to be there too. Greg took pictures through the entire thing and even has a picture of the doctor holding up Hailey as soon as she was out. The whole process is done in less than 30 minutes and you're back in the room and they bring your baby back in after getting her all cleaned up and you immediately get to nurse her. It is different. But it's only one day compared to the rest of your life with your little ones. Still praying you get to do it naturally, but also knowing you'll do fine if the day comes and you don't.
Thanks Julie...that is encouraging to hear!
