Post-Version

I'm actually still in the hospital bed (ahh, technology! Laptops and wifi) waiting for room service to bring me my first food in sixteen hours. I had the version an hour or two ago, which was a very short but intense amount of pressure and pain. Alas, little girl was uninclined to budge and stayed firmly put. So we will be scheduling a c-section for July 18th or 20th, depending on scheduling with the hospital. There is still a slight chance she could flip on her before then, but she sure seems rooted in place. If someone pushed on me that hard, I'd go wherever they told me to! (And they DID push on me that hard, by the way.) I have a feeling I'm going to be very sore and perhaps a bit bruised. But I'm glad that I gave it a shot. Once again we're in a position of trusting God's ways and timing. Meanwhile, we made an offer on the house we want (which is now in foreclosure) so we are praying for the timing and methods on that big life change, too. Thanks to all for prayers.

    sorry, Sarah (and baby!) - have you already tried talking to a midwife about other ways as well to try and get her to turn? Thanks for the update, hopefully you aren't too sore! We're praying for all 3 of you guys:)

    BUMMER! We'll pray that she decides to start her life obeying her parents, and move already. I have heard crazy successful things about that whole incense burning on the toe thing...in case you wanted one more person giving you advice. Especially a person who hasn't had a baby. We love you guys.

    Shoot for the 20th; it's the best birthday! Our doctor in London said that he'd have delivered Aidan breech had he been there, so you can always discreetly fly to London if you want to deliver naturally and turning doesn't happen :)

Gray Day

I think it might have actually been sunny today, but since I was homebound for the day (I wasn’t feeling well and Allie was fussy last night/today so we stayed home from church in case we are getting sick), but it sure feels like a gray day to me. I’m still struggling with nursing issues. The short version is that is has been determined (after much, much ado that exhausted all of the lactation consultants’ ideas) that I am not making enough milk. That, combined with the slow let downs I’ve mentioned before, means that Allison won’t nurse. And even if she would nurse, there isn’t enough milk for her. So I am using an electric pump to get out the milk that is there, feeding her that in a bottle, then giving a supplemental bottle of soy-based formula (because we think she may have a milk sensitivity; I am off of dairy, as well). Meanwhile, I am getting blocked milk ducts almost every day (a painful but temporary issue that goes away after a few hours or a few days with heat packs, pumpi...

New York City 10th Anniversary Trip: PART 1

Image
To celebrate our first decade of marriage, Seth and I decide to take a trip to NYC. Neither of us had ever really spent time there and it was something we’d been hoping to do for a few years. My parents graciously agreed to come watch our children while we went on a 4 day/4 night adventure together. It’s been several years since our last big travel adventure (Europe trip in 2008), so we were a little rusty but we quickly got into the swing of things and had a great, busy, exhausting, fun time together. I wanted to record everything because I’m well aware of how short my short-term memory lasts. So this is a record of what we did, what we saw, and, as importantly, what we ate. Our eating philosophy was “more less is more,” meaning we wanted to try smaller amounts of more things (especially quintessential NY things like a bagel, cheesecake, a hotdog, Brooklyn pizza, etc.), so we snacked our way through the city rather than sitting down to full meals and then tried to walk off all those d...
