Hi everyone. Well, it looks as if we’ll be meeting little Miss Maggie on June 4 or June 6. At our doctor’s visit last Monday, Dr. Stafford scheduled a planned c-section for the 4th, but yesterday, Dr. Trippell called to tell us that he had a family emergency. So, it’s likely we’ll be rescheduling the c-section with her for the 6th. Maggie is still in breech and the chances of her flipping into the 
proper position are “slim to none.” And, as Matt says “And, slim has left the building.” Matt is taking the news of a c-section much better than I am. I am still scared to death of the c-section and have tried to bribe Maggie to flip. So far, I have promised her the car of her choice on her 16th birthday, a diamond tennis bracelet, and a trip to Europe upon college graduation. She is either one tough negotiator or she has no desire for the materialistic things in life.
We have another non stess test and ultrasound tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. If those both go well, then the schedule for next week should hold – pending I don't go into labor beforehand. If that should happen, I would call in and they would take me right in for the c-section. So, it appears that I won’t be getting out of this surgery. I have heard that many women prefer the c-section so I am taking some comfort in that.
Matt scored big this week with the news that he had indeed installed the car seats properly in both vehicles and that his favorite cigars had arrived. 95% of car seats are installed incorrectly, so Matt beat the odds big time. The inspector was really thorough and even tested it with a 6.5 lb baby doll. She showed us how to do all sorts of things with the car seat and even gave us tips for “home safety inspection” before Maggie arrives. I felt really informed. Matt is planning to disperse his favorite cigars upon Maggie’s arrival – Bull and Bear cigars from St. Charles, IL. Those are by far his favorites, and we had them shipped down for the occasion.
With Dr. Stafford’s permission, I also ventured into the office last week – but briefly each time. It is so good to be out of the house. I am taking it easy, but being at home alone all day was starting to really wear on my nerves and make me panicky about things so I am grateful Dr. Stafford allowed me a little freedom.
The photos are the last two ultrasound photos taken over the last two weeks. In one of them, you can see Maggie’s little nose and mouth. The ultrasound tech said it was hard to really see,
even in 3D. So, they look a little funny, but they are interesting nonetheless.
We will continue to keep ya’ll posted on things and thanks again for all the great support you have given us and are continuing to give us. We are both ansy and are so ready to be home with Maggie.
All our love – Kim and Matt
