Thank you everyone, after a rough welcoming to the outside world, Liam has totally recovered and gets to come home with us tomorrow! So absolutely in love with him. Thanks for all the support these last several months, good luck and best wishes everyone!
(Sorry for giant photo)!!! Just a few minutes of my update this morning, my Dr. came by and I was still stuck at 4cm and baby was still way up high. Due to the total lack of progress of the baby moving down and because I had a temp that was continuing to rise, we decided to do a c section right away. I was SO nervous about the whole thing, after 2 days of labor, I was going to meet LO in a matter of minutes!
The section went well, LO at 7lbs 10oz came out cryng and then I could kind of hear him doing these short little half cries. DH went to take pictures while they finished me up. After a few minutes I could hear them start talking about the NICU, cue utter panick!! They could tell he was having some struggle getting a good cry out and wanted to take him down asap even though his apgar was a 9. I got to see him for literally 2 secs, kissed him on his cheek and they were off.
He ended up having some fluid in his lungs (apparenty common w. section babies) and air in his chest cavity. They had to put a tube into his chest to release the air and he was able to breathe fully right away. He's doing well and is a very strong baby, he's been fighting the drs every step of the way and they expect him to be totally fine but he'll need several days to heal so looking at a bit of a stay.
Meanwhile i've been waiting all day to be able to go down and see him, it's horrible to know he's been on his own down there 
They're supposed to be transitioning me to a wheelchair shortly so i can visit and I can barely wait. im feeling fine, my Dr. did say when she was closing me up, my pelvis looked very small internally, maybe was part of the issue. It's a been a day of unexpected surprises, so fully in love with my little man, just want be able to hold him very soon!

Re: Update to Update, Liam Thomas is here!
What a cutie!
A friend of mine has just gone through something similar...c/s and baby had fluid on lungs followed by a brief NICU stay. I know it was hard for her, so take care of yourself. T&P he's out of the NICU soon!

I'm sorry your birth plan didn't quite work out, but I'm glad you have a healthy baby boy to hold once you get to wheel down to the NICU!
I hope you get to hold Liam soon-- I'm sure the NICU nurses are loving on him all day long, but nobody can replace Mama!
