This is what I DON'T look like, unfortunately. Not yet(with anticipation and hope in my attitude.) Just imagine that baby's head up under the ribs, flipped the other way, facing my spine.l Now you'll understand why my belly is WAAAAYY out there because I can't really drop like most pregnant women do. I see our baby girl's head all the time under my right rib just rolling around. It's pretty amazing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your many prayers. We ask that you continue to join us in praying. I must confess that yesterday I had to confess my fear of having a c-section. I have days full of hope and great anticipation, and then I have moments where fear grabs a hold of me as I think about what it will be like to be put to sleep, knowing that I will wake up with an instant family, feeling the reprecussions of severed stomach muscles, and the struggles that come with having surgery. I have to keep reminding myself that God is SO GOOD, FAITHFUL, and in control. He is the blessed controller of ALL things. He is trustworthy and sovereign. When I focus on Him, I am put at ease and a peace takes over me. :)
If Baby Carson doesn't turn by Tuesday, we will set a date for a c-section a week earlier than my due date (around December 5th...in 3 weeks!!!!). However, I will request a drive-by ultrasound right before the c-section to see if she has turned, and if so, I will hop right off that table and head home to wait for my body to go into labor naturally. That is my prayer.
Thank you so much friends and fam. We love you! More pictures to come!!!

Dear Hollie and Hugh,
We will be praying for little baby Carson to turn. We love you both and wait with great anticipation for little Carson's safe and healthy arrival. Father is in control and knows the big picture so we can truly rest in Him that He knows more than we. My prayer is that He will give you some peace in the midst of some uncertainty.

All of you are in my prayers...don't worry Hollie if you do end up having a c-section. Alyson's head was too big to come through the birth canal and I had to have an emergency-C. I was totally unprepared for it - but Abba was there with me the whole time and it was an easier comeback from the c-section than from Phil's vaginal delivery. I was traveling and singing again in 9 days!! No matter what - you and baby are safe in the Father's hands and He will deliver you through all this!! Love always...Von
You know that you and Hugh will be in my prayers...but... if you do decide to have her on December 5th...whoo hoo, cuz that is my birthday too!!! Love you and miss you both terribly :) Can't wait to meet that beautiful baby girl!

Hollie, be strong and courageous, girl! Whatever comes your way, Father knew about it way before you were even born. You can do anything with Him giving you strength. I didn't think I could even handle the IV - but I lasted through two days of labor and finally an unexpected c-section!
But why not keep praying right up to the last minute that your little girl will make a healthy turn downward? We'll keep praying!
