Liam is now cocked and loaded!

Yesterday, Kristina and I were ready to deliver Liam. We had prepared ourselves for a C section, mentally and physically. It wasn't ideal, but honestly we were ready to meet our son. We woke up early, dressed, left a couple bags by the front door for my mom to bring to the hospital with her in the next couple hours. Then we marched off to the hospital. Yep, that's right, we walked to the hospital. It's about a 20 minute pregnant walk. We took pictures. We talked like this was it. This was how delivering babies should be. Relaxed, happy, no painful drive to the hospital, none of that. We'll be done in 2 hours. How exciting!

We arrived at the the 5th floor and told the nurse we there for a scheduled C-Section. She looked in the scheduled folder but couldn't find our file. She then looked in the "possible C-section" folder and there we were. She announced, "Oh you're not schedule, just possible C-section." We responded, "oh he's been breeched for the last month, and he was head up in our appointment yesterday, we're here for a C-section." She then walked us to our room. She said, "This will be room you'll deliver your son!" Kristen said, "Not for a C-section, right?" Nurse, "Well no, but we'll do an ultrasound first."

2 minutes later we were looking at an ultrasound of Liam's head, inside K's pelvis. K and I looked at each other as if we both said, "oh no! Now what!??!" We thought about inducing. Beside the fact that it's against hospital policy to induce before 39 weeks, (we were 38 weeks and 6 days) being our first, it may be in upward of 48 hours of labor. We couldn't do any labor at home, and as long as she's at the hospital, she can't eat. None of that sounds fun.

So we walked home, heads down and little nervous. We've since been preparing ourselves for a vaginal birth. I think we're ready, but seriously, we don't know what to do with our time. We'd cleared our schedules for this little dude. What do we do now?
