Family and Friends- I have finally reached full-term pregnancy and we are getting so excited for our little nameless baby boy to arrive. At the doctor today we were given some unexpected news. Sometime in the last 2 weeks our little guy has turned himself breech. If you ask me it was yesterday, I thought he was having a party in there! Since I have had low amniotic fluid throughout the pregnancy it is not possible to go in and turn him and highly unlikely he will do it himself. What does this mean? Most likely I will be having a C-section, which is scary because the doctor has also discovered that I am anemic. So, we are hoping with faith and prayers our little bundle of love will decide to somersault just one more time before leaving his home in the next couple weeks. We will know more next week and I will keep everyone "posted". In the meantime, I am so excited to have my parents come for a visit this weekend to play and help with getting the nursery completed. I am excited to finally get some pictures to share with everyone. Thank you all for your love and support.

oh, hang in there, Jacki. I'm sure he'll turn one more time, but if not, c-sections aren't that bad, especially if they're planned and you don't have to go through 24 hours of labor first like I did. Whatever happens, we'll be thinking about you and can't wait to find out the little guy's name!!
Hopefully baby boy will do another somersault when he jumps for joy when we arrive tomorrow!!! See you soon! Have faith.
Turn baby! Turn!
My thoughts are prayers are with you and Baby Boy Bracken. Next year at this time he can use all those moves in football practice (did you see Stone's video?). xoxo
Alright baby boy...your not supposed to be giving your mom a hard time already! As your Auntie Aubrey said, "Turn baby, turn"!
your all in our prayers! we love you guys and are so so excited for you..... cant wait to meet the little sir.
Jacki-I know you are having fun with your fam this weekend and getting all ready for your sweet little guy!! We know everything will be alright, you guys are in our prayers!!
i'm so excited you'll have your family close by during these amazing, spiritual times. good luck and ditto aubrey's "turn baby, turn."
I will certainly keep you in my prayers, Jackie. The Lord's will will be done! If a C-section is what is needed, there must be a reason. Thank God we have those procedures! It literally saved both Heather's and Elissa's life! I will always be thankful for Doctors who have yours and baby's lives in their hands! I love you and will pray hard for you and baby boy Bracken.

you've been in our prayers and we just love you guys!! Can't wait to see pics of the nursery and all the cute stuff you did!! xoxoxo
Slacky - C-sections aren't all that bad! I've had 3 out of 4 - and a planned one is ALWAYS easier! I can honestly say that the recovery is very comperable. I was also oligo and anemic with my last one and everything turned out perfectly - in fact, she's the healthiest, feistiest, baby I've had (albeit the smallest)! You're in good hands, I'm sure...and have many prayers coming your way!
Much love!!
