Baby Santiago

As you know we are on our way to being parents of 2! I am 38 weeks along and our little one has decided to start following in the footsteps of his brother early...he has already managed to wrap himself up in the umbilical cord! We figured it was not such a big deal because he is still very mobile and his heart rate has been completely regular up until yesterday. At my appointment the doctor noticed that his heartrate was somewhat low, 110...when she poked at him it would go back up to the normal 140 but apparently the cord is starting to constrict him a bit. So, we are watching this and I have to go back to the doctor again on Friday to check things. We are still hoping not to go through another cesarean at this point but if he gets as tangled as his brother, we will probably have no other choice.
