So usually people tell their birth story at this point, but mine is quite boring (in a good way). I had a scheduled C-Section so we just walked into the hospital at 6 this morning and after an hour and a half of fluids they took me to the OR. The coolest part (some of you may think I'm weird) was that I got to watch the whole thing through a mirror. I thought that they'd only let me see the birth part, but I was able to view from the incision to the stitches. It was interesting.
The most exciting part (aside from the actual birth) was when they got to my uterus and we learned that it hadn't quite healed properly and part of it was actually see-through. I'm really glad I didn't try for a VBAC. The baby was healthy and passed all his tests with flying colors. They said that everything went perfect.
He was born at 7:48 a.m. weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz and 20" long. I was surprised because I actually gained 10 lbs less with him than with M... and M was 11 oz lighter. He has a bit of a squished nose and two very deep dimples. I can hardly see any eyebrows on him but he does have a little bit of hair on his head. He is as sweet as can be and we are all so happy to welcome him into our family.

I think watching everything is pretty cool I watched both of mine through a mirror and my mom filmed it so I've watched their births lots of times. Hope all is still going well for you all!
