good news!


37 weeks

I went to the doctor last week and was really hoping to hear good news that Canaan flipped. I had gone to the chiropractor that same week and that seemed to help my back pain a little. The doctor couldn't really tell by just feeling if he had flipped, so I had a quick ultrasound to see where he was and HE HAD FLIPPED!! Now I'm just praying that he stays in that position.

I have had a million thoughts running through my mind as we just past Calvin's 11 month mark of his home going. I really thought I was going to go into labor that day-but I know God has already planned when Canaan is going to arrive. It still is hard for me to think that this same time last year we were going through the worst trial that we have ever had and this year we are rejoicing in the soon to be birth of our second son! God is good!

count down

Well the count down really has begun...we found out on Friday that Canaan is breech. The doctor said that we can try "version" where they try to move the baby from the outside. That is going to the hospital, getting an epidural and then two people pushing on your stomach to move him (sounds fun doesn't it). If that does not work they will end up doing a c-section. We are praying and hoping that he moves down by himself, but i have started researching ways to maybe help him. I am going to try and get to the chiropractor this week to see if I get adjusted if that will help him move. There is a technique call "webster's technique" that chiropractors can do just for breech babies, we are thinking about trying that too. I am not totally against a c-section I just feel like that is the only option the doctors are giving me and I feel like there are other things I can try first.

3 and a half weeks to go!!

baby shower

Last Saturday, Darby and Beck put on a wonderful baby shower for Josh and I. We ended up having around 100 people and we got A LOT of stuff. We are so thankful and blessed by everyone that came and showed us love as we go through this exciting time!

As you can see it was a truck theme!
We got many homemade gifts! I love them all!:)

All our goodies! It took just a little time putting it all away at home.We asked everyone instead of giving a card to give a book to start a collection for Canaan. We got a lot of good books! I can't wait to start reading to him.
