Maddox and Mommy Moviestars!

So today I got a call from my Dr. office, the OBGYN group. I figured they were calling to check to see if Mr. Kies had decided to turn around but that wasn't the case at all. They were wondering if Maddox and I would be willing to come into the office to be videotaped for some footage for an update to their website. I already had a very busy day scheduled but figured this would be a once in a lifetime experience so we headed over to the office after my 7th chiro visit ( still heads up...ugh). And, boy did we have a good time. Maddox was an angle, course everyone whooed over her and she had many people to entertain her. It turned out they took several shots, some with just myself and the Dr, some with myself and the midwives, and then some with Maddox and I and the Dr/midwife. Now.....the WAY cool thing was that there wasn't any audio being taped, it was all just photo footage but they wanted me to ACT like I was talking to the Dr's and midwives....so what do you think we talked about.....WHAT TO DO WITH BABY KIES!!! It was the best hour for me to gather information to help decide what ( if anything) we are going to do to get Mr. Kies to turn to avoid a c-section. I got to meet with 2 experienced Dr.'s and 2 midwives. It was sort of like having a panel of Dr.'s at my disposal to discuss the options to try to get Mr. Kies turned around. Soooo....the verdict is......we meet with one more Dr. Friday AM, ( one that wasn't here today at the photo shoot so I'll get yet another opinion). But definitely the consensus today was that I should go ahead and have the external version and to do it as soon as possible. The odds are better since this is my second child, and really to avoid a c-section the Dr's I met with today said it is definitely worth a shot if I am open to it. I told all the docs and midwives today what I've been doing for the last 2 weeks ( chiro, ice, heat, ironing board, inversion table, accupuncture scheduled for friday afternoon) and that nothing has worked so far but they were still optimistic that the external version could work. One of the docs today said that if possible they would schedule it for Friday afternoon...YIKES.....because one of the possibilities is that the external version will set me into labor and I"ll have the baby!! But, at this point in time I am 38 weeks so it is definitely fine for him to come now. Sooooo our little photo shoot turned into a GREAT informational session for me....just what I needed to hear to help me/us decide what to do about Mr. Kies. I really don't want a c-section as the recovery is MUCH longer and with Maddox being a little as she is, she still requires quite a lot of care so it would NOT be ideal to be unable to pick her up! We'll see what Dr. Aronson has to say Friday AM but it is looking like I'm going to try the external version on Friday afternoon, pending scheduling availability. I'll keep you posted and I"ll let you know when they get the video on the website so you can see! The pictures/video are from our last visit to the park. This time Dad got to join us!
