So I am back at home with no baby! :( Oh well. He didn't turn. It went okay other than the fact that they blew one of my veins putting in the IV and that turning him really did hurt a lot AND the scariest fact that the baby's heart rate dropped really low. That is when we stopped and called it quits. They monitored our hearts for an hour and a half after that. So, we are back at the beginning, but I am okay with that. I am glad things ended up alright. I am glad we tried, but I think I wouldn't recommend trying to turn your baby if it is your first pregnancy. Your uterus is just not as workable. But who knows! And I guess that is why you try...
SOOO, we are having the baby tomorrow morning!!! I am sooo excited. I can tell that Chaz is very excited but at the same time really nervous...as well as I. I am nervous for the IV they have to put in me again (they can't use my hands because they did both today...so I guess I have to sacrifice my arm now). I am also nervous about the spinal tap. Yikes. I hate hate hate needles. I think getting the IV was worse than actually turning the baby for me. It is a different kind of pain and I prefer the stomach pain I think. When she said my vein blew I almost threw up and fainted. Seriously, how sick.
Well, my next blog will be from the hospital with tons of pictures of our little Marek!! I have a feeling he is going to look like his father! :) Yay!!! Thanks for all of your prayers. There is still a chance he could turn tonight...haha, I guess I can keep the faith/hopes a little longer, lol... but I feel good and at peace with the c-section now. All is well :)

Sorry that things didn't go as planned today, but try not to worry to much( I know that is easy for me to say) It will be ok. Good luck and I will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Good luck tomorrow! Everything will go great! How exciting! I can't wait to meet him!
Oh, spinal taps are WAY easier than epidurals. I swear I didn't even feel it. And it works almost instantly so you don't have to sit there for a long time. The only thing that sucked is Caleb couldn't be in the room when they were prepping me. They bring in the husbands after they make the incision which I think is stupid because it's the part before that, that's kinda scary. But it's a piece of cake from here on out. CONGRATS!
Our prayers are with you tomorrow! If Nikki says a spinal tap is easier than an epidural then you are set cause I thought getting the IV was much much worse than the epidural!! Both times! Nothing to fear... all will be well. We miss seeing your smiling faces. Wish we could be there!
