It's hard to believe how quickly nine months has gone by! Only one more day until Due Day, how exciting! The last couple of weeks prior to Peanut's arrival was filled with anticipation. The last eight weeks or so of the pregnancy our little Peanut continued to remain in a breech position so I continued to do everything I could to help Peanut flip from visits with the Chiropractor, to stretches, pelvic exercises, inversions and even laying on an ironing board inverted off the couch! At our last appointment there was still no change in Peanut's position so we scheduled a c-section for July 1. My hopes for a natural birth continued to slip further and further away but I remained positive, said lots of prayers and had many conversations with Peanut. "Peanut, mommy would really like for you to be able to pick your own birthday. All you have to do is break mommy's water and we'll come in and get you!"
While I had been experiencing mild contractions the week before Peanut was born, Friday June 24th, Frazer and I went walking hoping gravity would help initiate the process. Several times during our walk I continued to talk to Peanut to let Peanut know all he/she had to do was let mommy know when it was time and break mommy's water. But, once the walk concluded, so did the contractions. Maybe tomorrow....
