It's Getting Close to Due Date

Owen is moving around like crazy, gets hiccups often and is most active at night. Unfortunately, he has moved to a breech position so Patty may need to get a C-section. We will see if he moves back to the right formation in the next couple weeks. If not we will go in and try a process called ECV, where they try to move him around by pushing around on Patty's tummy. (Poor Patty!) It has a 60% success rate and it may detach the fluids causing the need for an emergency C-section. If that does not work we will need to schedule a date to have the C-section.









I took Malan on a fishing trip a couple weeks ago and we had a blast. We didn't actually catch anything but we got some bites. It's been over 5 years since I fished last and it's totally different fishing out here than it was in Idaho. We'll give it another try before too long.
