30 Weeks

Wow, I can't believe we are already to 30 weeks!

I had an OB visit today, and everything was routine, and we found out that we will be able to deliver here in Ida Grove, and we are going ahead with a C-Section. Seriously, we are thrilled! It may sound odd that we had to ok it first, but for those who don't know, we live in a town less than 3,000 people, and our hospital is not really a "high risk" hospital, but we thought considering our situation, we know the outcome, and we don't need a NICU that the bigger hospitals have, so it is mainly for our comfort level, just being right here in our hometown makes me breathe a sigh of relief. So we are very grateful for that!

We have an appointment tomorrow in Omaha with our perinatologist, so will get to have another ultrasound done, hopefully we will get another 3D/4D done and hopefully we her little face! I will be sure to post if we do!

I think that's great you'll be able to stay in your hometown. I think you made a good decision having a c-section...if I could do one thing over I think I would do that instead of a vaginal. Although I don't like the idea of it, it might've given us some time w/ her.

Glad to hear everything at your appt went well! Hope you get to see Jillian's face on the US!

That is AWESOME... I am so excited for you guys and I know that it will make things so much easier... I have been praying and anxious to hear the news, so very glad that it was positive... I'm glad you are going with c-section, seems like the best option at this point as well... Hope everything goes well tomorrow... Will be thinking about you... Love you

I am so happy that you can deliver Jillian at Horn! I am sure the staff there will do a wonderful job and make you as comfortable as possible! I am happy that you made your decision on the C section...I think that is probably the right thing for you in this situation....Good luck at your appt today, and I will look forward to seeing new pictures of our blessed little Jillian!
I love you!!

Oh Jodi - I am so happy to hear that you can deliver in Ida Grove. I'm sure that does make it easier to relax a little knowing you will be right there with family when you deliver. Hope you can get some of her face when you get your next sono. Thinking of you always.

Love~
