lookin a little skeptical!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so cute

Oh I love him! So cute.

How/why did you end up having a C-section (if I'm allowed to ask)?

Well I was getting induced 2 weeks before the due date because I had some mild pre-eclampsia symptoms and my dr didn't see any point to risking it getting worse if Henry was already full-term. When we got there he got ready to break my water but after a quick check realized H was sitting really high and there was something next to his head. The concern was that it might be the umbilical cord and if he broke the water the umbilical cord would go out before Henry blocking off his oxygen. My doc gave us two options - induce and wait to see if he moved into place and that the object moved away from his head or go straight into a C-section. We went for the former. After an hour everyone was very suprised to find he had moved a down a little and that the umbilical cord was not coming out first ( no one expected anything to change until noon - 4 hours away). So the vaginal birth was on and my dr broke my water predicting a noon time birth. I held out on the epidural for a few hours but caved little after noon. Aftr some waiting we all realize the epidural didn't work. In all of this time I'm only 2 more cm dilated and Henry is still up really high and is showing no signs of moving. The dr and the anesthesiologist have a powwow and propose to us that the smartest thing to do at this point is go back to the c-section option because it's beginning to look like a 36+ hr labor which they don't feel good about in an already dodgy situation. By this point I'm ready to get this kid out so we say okay. In we go and 15 min later out comes H with the umbilical cord wrapped twice around his neck. It wasn't choking him because he was still up so high. Had we waited for him to drop it would have gotten very tight and who knows where we'd be right now. Phew.

OMG Sunny! What a story. I am so happy he came out happy 'n' healthy. <3 <3 <3

I was getting very tense reading your account even though I knew it ended well. So glad it's over!

wwwwowww

way 2 go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! Hope you're all home soon and coping with being the parents of two!

xpost hahaha Oh man. People warned me how much more work it'd be but I was totally naive about it. :-)

awww congrats, Dan!

Honestly the only problem we've had so far is when Beeps is in a tantrum and then Henry starts with the crying. That's only happened once though.
