My sweet, but pain in the butt, haley marie was born today (10/11) weighing 7lbs 3 ozs.

This little girl was head down since 36 week. In the middle of my labor after my water broke and immediately after i got my epidural 5 nurses stormed my room staring at the machine that has her heart rate. She kept dipping below 100. My dr did a cervical check and said "i feel a butt. Lets get an ultrasound" my heart sank. I immediately knew what that meant.

Sure enough, she flipped breech, got her head stuck up near my ribs and was in distress. Immediate emergency c section.

Everything i wanted for her birth was ripped right out from under me. No delayed cord clamping, no immediate skin to skin. Things i did not get to do with my first born because he was early. I was devastated.

So she was born,taken to special care for difficulty breathing. I was told 12 hours and she would be back to me. I took a "nap" and woke up 2 hours later to my fiance and a nurse wheeling my sweet girl into my room!

Its been such a tough last trimester with her but she was worth it!
