Ultrasound & Doctor's Visit

On Wednesday I met with Dr. Wheeler.  My blood pressure was 112/66 and my weight was 133.  I am still 1 cm dilated so no change there but I am 75% effaced.  I also had an ultrasound.  It's a good thing I pushed for an ultrasound because he is still breech!  The last thing I wanted was to go into labor and then find out 13 hours later that he is breech.  I am very happy that we at least know for sure now.  They talked a little bit about trying to turn him but he weighs around 5lb 12oz and because I am 75% effaced the chances of him turning are low.  She also said that I would have to go to the hospital to turn him and that it could cause stress on the baby and possibly result in an emergency c-section.  We decided to go with the c-section and not try to turn him.  The date is set for Thursday, Sept. 2nd - unless I go earlier!
