C-Section is Scheduled for September 21st!

So I went to the doctor again yesterday for my 36 week check-up. Baby Shelby is still breech, no surprise to me who feels her head in my ribs all day, but is doing great and growing great. It was actually a bit of a relief to hear her heartbeat because the last few weeks it has been a little soft--though that doesn't matter--but now that he knows she's breech he can look for her heartbeat in the right place.

The big news of the appointment is that I will have my c-section on September 21st! My doctor would like to do it on the 18th but he will be out of town, so we will wake up that Monday and have a baby. It is so interesting how good Casey and I both feel about this whole process. My entire pregnancy I've been a nervous wreck, but I feel very calm and peaceful going into my cesarean. Casey is also incredibly excited, and bonus, September 21st is the day he's wanted her to come the whole time because it's his sports number. So while I could still go into labor before my scheduled c-section--which means I have to rush to the hospital for an emergency c-section due to complications with a breech baby--we will most likely have an autumnal equinox baby on the 21st.

Random Fact--They call it a cesarean section because Julius Caesar was apparently born that way. However, historians doubt he really was born cesarean because his mother lived many years after his birth and almost all women died of such a procedure in 100 BC. (Yes I have been reading about c-sections a lot, of course I would learn some history :)
