QUick but important baby update!

Hi everyone, 

Just a quick update to fill you in on the latest Max news. 

On the Nick front - he has successfully gotten his Visa approved and is now waiting to get it in hand and come home. Wooohoo! I am SO happy for him. 

On the Max front - last week we had an ultrasound and mr.Max was about 6 pounds then and still breech. So the doctor's set up something called a version where they try to manually turn him into the right birthing position. Being that I was a little low on the amniotic fluid side, they had me go in asap to try that before max got any bigger and took up all the room in there. So this morning, bright and early, my mom and I headed to the hospital. We got in...hopped up on the bed and had an ultrasound. The nurse took one look at it and told me that my Amniotic fluids were getting really low and chances are the procedure wouldn't work. Then she went to consult the doctor.

Long story short - dosctor came in and not only was the procedure not going to work but the doctor felt that the baby needed to come out reasonably soon. So essentially - the c-section is on Thursday at 2pm PST.

It is all a little overwhelming. But in 48 hours - Nick and I will be proud parents of a baby boy. 

This will probably be the last pre-baby update! So stay tuned for pictures and updates about Max!
