Tomorrow's the day!

So tomorrow is the big day, baby Eloise will be here! Right now I'm lying in bed playing out tomorrow in my head.  I should definitely be sleeping but of course I can't!  After all, we have to be at the hospital at 6am so what's the point?  Anyhoo, I'm filled with anxiety because tomorrow is a huge question mark.  Baby girl is breech, has been for the last few months.  So tomorrow morning at 7:30am my doctor is going to try and manually turn her with a procedure call an ECV or external version.  The ecv typically has about a 60% success rate.  If we are successful I will be induced and able to have a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean).  Abigail was also breech and a c section.  This whole pregnancy I have had my mind set on a vbac bc I absolutely do not want another c section.  One catch, baby girl has to cooperate, which she is not doing right now.  So we will try the ecv in the morning but if we cannot get her to flip then I will have another c section.  Either way, tomorrow's the day.  So...if you have a moment please say a litle prayer for us and that we can get baby Eloise to flip around in hopes of avoiding major abdominal surgery, yay!
