I had another appointment today at 25 weeks. Everything is going well! I have just about 3 months to go!
After a lot of research, prayer, and talking in detail with two different doctors, I've decided to do a repeat c-section. Both doctors say that the chances of me not dilating (which was the problem with Jaxson's) is pretty likely. They said if I wouldn't progress with a less than 6 pound baby then the chances of my body making room for a bigger baby is not likely. They also both said that in my case it's safer for the baby to schedule a c-section. I personally don't see any great benefits for me to try a vaginal delivery, and I feel at peace with having another c-section. They usually schedule the delivery for 38-39 weeks. I'll schedule it for sure when I'm 30 weeks. It'll be nice to have it scheduled for Jaxson and for my mom flying in, although I personally didn't let that factor way heavily on my decision. I just want to do what is best for the baby and any future children we will have.
I'm so blessed to be a mother and I thank my Heavenly Father for the wonderful blessings motherhood brings.
