Baby! Soon! Yay! AIGH! Whee!
Hi everyone. As most of you were aware, Anne & I are expecting our first child, a girl, sometime in the next few weeks.
As it turns out, thanks to low-volume amniotic fluid and an obstreperously breech position (ah, our little troublemaker) the docs have recommended (most strongly) that for various and sundry reasons, our little girl arrive today. The kid is full-term, and certainly looks and behaves healthy on the ultrasounds.
So, we're waiting in the UM Mott/Women & Children's Hospital triage area, until we learn when Anne's Caesarian section is scheduled. Most likely this afternoon/early evening.
This isn't what we wanted for the birth of our first child, but we're not going to be any more ready, to be truthful.
Honestly, I can't wait to meet our daughter. :D

(Also, my Katie was breech and I had low amniotic fluid, so I also had the c-section. Perhaps interfering advice: Make sure they check well for hip dysplasia, since first born breech girls with low amniotic fluid have a higher incidence of the problem.)
