So I was due June 23, 2018 with my second daughter. (Peyton Eleanor Hunter) My last appointment with my doctor at 38 weeks (June 8th) he told me that she was breech and we spent 30 mins trying to turn baby girl. I haven't felt pain like that since 2012 when I gave birth to my first daughter who is almost 6 now. (Karma Grace)

at that point my doctor told me that if my little girl didn't turn by herself in the next couple days that I would have to plan to have a c-section. I was completely destroyed by the news. I had an all natural birth with Karma and my pregnancy with Peyton had been completely and 100% normal. I am also a recovering addict (18 months clean) and the thought of natcotics or surgery scared the crap out of me. I've worked so hard to maintain the life I have today and I didn't want to screw anything up with narcotics. It took me a year and a half to get clean and stay committed to it.

So... we discussed the options and decided that I would come back in on the 12th at 2pm to see if Peyton had turned herself and if not we would have to schedule the c-section for the 18th of June. So I went home a crying mess...

and felt like everything was the end of the world.

Then on the 10th of june I had my 18 month celebration.

The weekend passed and it was the morning of my appointment 7:00am to be exact... I woke up to what felt like period cramps and a period... starting...

and I was like WTF? What's going on?

So I drove to my grandma's house with Karma (my first born) called the doctor's office and waited for a call back.

Knowing that if I had to have a c-section I couldn't eat or drink anything I didn't get to have my morning coffee so I'm super tired

Then I get a call back... I already knew I was going into labor... So now I'm on my way to Labor and Delivery at the hospital 🏥.

I drove myself to the hospital and on the way I call my mother who lives 45 minutes out and my boyfriend who's at work. My grandma stayed at home with Karma until further notice.

Got all checked in and in a room. My boyfriend showed up. The nurses get my doctor there...

and my doctor checks to see if Peyton had turned herself....NOPE! She's still breech.

So my water had broke... I was bleeding... and the baby still hadn't turned so EMERGENCY C-SECTION IT WAS!!! I was in prep for the c-section by 10:45am

So I welcomed my second daughter Peyton Eleanor Hunter into the world at 11:06 am on June 12, 2018. And here she is...

and 21 days old today... She's absolutely perfect!

Thanks for reading!
