First off, I would trust my doctor with my life (and the life of my little girl!). If she felt this is necessary, then I will not argue. However, it surprised me how disappointed I was to have the idea of giving birth to my girl taken from me! I give credit to my doctor though...she did offer to let me go naturally and see what happens. So, I spent a long weekend praying, thinking, chatting with girlfriends who have had c-sections and decided to go ahead with a scheduled birth.
My babe will arrive this Friday, October 9!! Lord willing, of course, as His plan is the ultimate one. :)
I'm excited, nervous, anxious, happy, stressed, thrilled, tired...just as every pregnant woman in my state of 40 weeks pregnant should be!!
Oh, also this weekend, we asked my uncle to "experiment" with us and do a maternity photo shoot...we were thrilled with the results!

That's great, Rachel - how exciting!! I know how you feel about having the natural birth "taken away" from you (I was VERY disappointed), but you'll be glad in the end. =]
I can't want to meet your beautiful girl!
Love your pictures and totally understand your initial disappointment about the c-section. I definitely went through the same emotions, but c-sections are REALLY not a bad way to go (obviously, since I'm
planning on another one next week!)
And Friday is my sister's birthday. I think she'd say it's a good one!!! Congrats to you and can't wait to hear about your little girl and see pictures!
