Baby Daniel is here!!!!

bleusimp · August 2013

I am very late in posting this, but am just now learning to tread water. Our son had an eviction date of July 30 at 6am. I guess he didn't like being told what to do, so he decided to have my water break and get the show started at 245 am that same day. Thankfully, since I was scheduled to be induced, his dad had come home that night and was able to take me to the hospital while I was contracting every 2 minutes around 330 am. We thought he was going to be here by lunch time, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. I was at 9 cm for about 10 hours. Once I got to 10 cm, the doctor came in, found out the problem, turned him 180 degrees in my belly (which felt really weird), and the prize for surviving 20 hours and 7 minutes of labor was my beautiful baby boy. I couldn't stop smiling, and was amazed at how alert this little guy was. I truly believe birth is a miracle and every child is a gift. Thank you ladies for all of your support through this pregnancy. I hope the pic isn't too big!
