This week is definitely a reality check. We tried unsuccessfully to turn this baby with an ECV, a FOUR hour ECV, which led to a c section on the schedule for the 26th. Then last night Quinn woke up with a stomach bug, which has turned into a fever. And I realized I hadn’t had a tdap shot or Group B strep test so I went to the OB today for those things and a quick check of my cervix. One cm dilated, which means little except that my body is getting ready.
I can already tell that with three kids, the road might be a bit bumpier when things like illness come into play. On top of that, taking one parent out of the game definitely has a much bigger impact!
We are still incredibly lucky to be able to do this, but this reality check is also a good reminder about perspective.
