Sonof a Breech Baby

We went to our 36 week check up this morning. We had an ultrasound and got to see our little baby. We were pleasantly surprised when they told us it was approximately 6 pounds! What a relief! I thought that we would have a small baby, but it seems like it's really doing well. Also, we saw that it has hair already! For those of you who know both Robert and I, know that we both have amazingly thick hair. I always laugh and joke that it's going to come out with an afro. Now, it really is! We were thrilled with the health of the baby. The bad thing is, it's breech. It's head is center under my breasts, bottom straight down and legs on my right side. The Doctor doesn't think it will be turning before its due date, so we have to make a decision for a C section or to have them attempt to manually turn it. We're leaning towards having the C section as we don't think manually trying to rotate the baby will be good for it. We asked when she would try to schedule it and she said at 39 weeks, which is what the second week of July?!! It was quite the reality check. We hope to make the decision soon. We're both a little sad that we're going to have to have the section, but at this point okay with it as long as the baby is safe and healthy. It's the most important thing. So, that is our update and will keep everyone updated as we go along.
