a lot has happened...

well, a lot has happened in the last month and now we're just two days away from the arrival of our new daughter, Lord-willing. as most of you know, we were originally planning on having a home-birth in san jose with midwives. there was a slight complication when we found out that the baby was sitting breech about a month and a half ago. eileen did all the exercises and tricks that we could find in order to help the baby turn around, but it was to no avail.

at that point we had two options: schedule a c-section in san jose or wait until she went into labor, rush to the hospital, wait to see if the only person in the surrounding area (about 90 miles) that does c-sections is actually working. if so, then he would be called in to do an emergency c-section. if he wasn't available, she'd be shipped (on public bus) to a different public hospital over two hours away. the Lord blessed us and provided a way for us to be able to schedule a c-section with a reputable doctor in san jose. and here we are two days away from the operation. we'll be sure to keep you posted. check facebook pages for lots of photos to come.
