It's been decided

As most of you know I've been trying to decided VBAC or repeat c section since the moment I got pregnant. Or pretty much since I had Cody. I was convinced in the beginning that I would definitely be attempting a vbac. I've done my research to say the least, pray, pondered, questioned, flopped back and forth, and even lost sleep over trying to decide. August 10th at 12:00 I am scheduled for a repeat cs. I told myself that if I went into labor before this day I would give a vbac my full efforts. Did I mention my doctor won't induce? Once you've had a cs I guess it's no longer an option. She also doesn't want me past my due date.
I had Kevin give me a blessing. I know this is the right choice for me, and maybe you think it's wrong or that I should "give it a try" but I've had 3 doctors tell me that because I had a cs due to pushing for 3 hours with no progress, my chances are very slim to be successful.
I am keeping my chin up about this, and am glad that it's planned and ready to go (unless he comes in the next 7 days on his own).

Hey I'm still up too. It's almost 12 here. That was a really hard decision to make. I know it was for me at least. Plus I didn't want to drive to Washington to have a baby when I am in labor too. Good night.

I am so glad that you have found peace in your decision. That sounds like a tough one to make!!! August 10th sounds like a great birthday!! :)

Im happy you have made your decision and feel good about it because that is what is important. Our stories are so similar in our fist birthing experience. My mind sometimes wonders if I could have done it, but we both gave it our best try and aren't we lucky they have the technology to have c-sections? Im happy for you that you are going to see your little man soon! Good luck with everything!

I've been thinking that will be my plan for our next baby too. Schedule the c-section, if the baby decideds to come on it's own before the scheduled date i'll give a vbac a try. Good Luck, You'll do awesome, and from what I hear scheduled c-sections are a piece of cake compared to emergency ones. I loved the experience with Hallie aside from wondering what labor and a normal delivery would be like... but everyone tells me that I didn't miss out on anything that great;) I can't wait to see picturesof this new little one

As if my other coment wasn't long enough, I just felt like telling you, Luke/Trey is one lucky boy! When I was pregnant with Hallie, and freaking out about being a mom, I totally stalked your blog. It seems like all you hear from sooo many people is how hard it is (which it is) but in their complaing they forget to mention how awesome it is too, and how much you love them. You oozed love for Cody, and actually seemed like you enjoy being a mom! You totally helped me calm down when I was freaking out (bet ya didn't know that!) I would read your posts about Cody's first couple months over and over, and I can't wait to read about baby #2, he sure will be loved to pieces if it's anything like Cody. You're going to do awesome with two kids! You're boys are soo lucky to get you as their mom!
