-
- Just when you
think you've got a handle on things...
-
- ...Cameron FLIPS!
Seemingly not even in the realm of possibilities since
Vienna stayed breech the entire pregnancy (never
budged once) and Cameron has been breech the entire
time as well. 3 days before week 36 he positions for
the big exit and Talya and I are left scratching
our heads.
-
- See, as much as
you don't want a C-Section, it's certainly a lot
easier. Now of course, all bets and dates are off.
Since our doctor is one of the few that will attempt a
VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarian) and Cameron is no
longer breech? We go it au naturale and wait for the
magical "water-break" to occur. With Vienna that
occurred right after midnight 9 days early which for
Cameron would mean right after midnight on New Year's
Day. He's quite a kicky bastard so it may be earlier,
but now we're realizing all that uncomfortableness
Talya was feeling was most likely him flipping around
and he might stay put the rest of the way. So
crazy.
-
- The thing is... we
haven't thought about natural child-birth in well over
a year because once we heard Cameron was breech we
just figured it wasn't in the cards. Assumed something
about Talya's horn-shaped uterus just made it
impossible for the baby to flip. We were fine with it
actually. Honestly, once you've gone through the
letdown of having to have a c-section, it doesn't hit
you the same way the next go-round. I mean, you've
already been cut-open and it's now a "known known".
The natural route suddenly becomes the "known
unknown" and this ultra-routine pregnancy just
got a bit more exciting.
-
- Now, before we get
too excited about this new process, we see our doctor
next week and we need to make certain she really is
willing to attempt this with us and that he hasn't
flipped back. VBACs are actually against
hospital policy where we're delivering and our
doctor said only if everything was perfect
would she attempt it. That's a vague statement for
sure, so maybe she meant more than just the baby being
in the right position. But, there is hope.
-
- Of course what
seemed, thanks to the movement, could happen at any
moment... could now very well be another month. To be
honest, we both want this over with. I mean, 2
years people. The first 9 months of 2012 and the last
9 months of 2013. That's a lotta pregnant
back-to-back. Barely a breather in between. And
whereas when you space kids out 2-3 years you tend to
forget things? When it's just over a year you forget
nothing. It feels like Talya hasn't had
a drink in a decade. It feels like she hasn't
slept comfortably since the 90s. The craziest part is
that it's been 18 out of 24 months we've been married.
LMAO. That's packin' a lot into 2 years. To say the
least? Talya, is done, being tired.
-
- How nice of nature
to make you feel that way just before you don't sleep
for 6 months. :-)
-
- Well shit,
I wasn't at the ultrasound 'cause I was
watchin' Vienna-Butt so this entry's video is gonna be
random. Hmmm. Let's see if I can tie this
together...
-
- Assuming Cameron
likes stereotypical "boy" things, I will be
passing the "ridiculous basketball shots" gene onto
him. You saw Jimmy and I throwin' 'em up last month,
figured I'd show some shots from '91 along with a new
trick shot on my court I'm surprised took me 10 years
to see.
-
-
- I'll have you know
I have yet to come close to getting that
ball over the wall and Jimmy truly has done it 3
times. (sigh) Here's hopin' Cam gets the right Kontras
Gene.
-
- HAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
-
- ...and here's to
natural childbirth.
