I'm so annoyed, I wrote a long blog...and because of blogger maintanance it got deleted! Grrr!!
Anyway, here goes again...
I've been very emotional. The doctor's office never called by noon like they said with our appointment time, and I just decided that there was no point going to get measured again, I already know Caden is a good size. I don't want to feel like a failure...and I've realized that I may have been more worried about what others think about me and my choices, and that's not right. This morning I cried. I was tired and drained, and I needed time alone to reflect and pray.
Then I called the doctor's office. I scheduled a c-section. I feel good; that's that.
I'm not sure of visitor details or policies, but you're more than welcome to be at the hospital to see the baby when he is born. If he doesn't come on his own by then, Caden will be born on Friday January 23rd at 12pm noon.
Nate and I feel good about it, I'd rather do this than get induced and force my body with hormones and drugs to go into labor. Plus, the longer I wait the longer everything is on hold, the longer Nate's Mom has to stay, and the bigger Caden grows.
I'd really appreciate your prayers and support, this is still scary for me and I appreciate every one of you who have been there for us and Caden.

Hattie... if you want the lowdown on what to expect and some good "pre-section" and "post-section" tips I've got plenty. ;)
And I am so glad you feel peace about what you have decided.
I'm happy you made a decision that was right for you. I'll continue to pray for a good transition. Maybe I'll show up on friday. I would love to be there!
You will be fine. Ask God for an open heart and you will be at peace. I had a c-section with Elias and I had to tell myself to slow down afterwards because I felt so good.
