Our birth story: After my water breaking during Sunday night child birth class and being admitted to the hospital 3.5 weeks early, we went into labor Monday morning and practiced the breathing we had just learned about to get through contractions. When I was ready for the epidural I figured I was at 2 cm but I was actually at 5 cm! Seems that labor was progressing fairly quickly! Pretty soon I was ready to start pushing and ended up pushing for 3 hours only to find that he hadn't moved any further down. We decided at that point to do a c-section and then realized why he wasn't moving - he was facing up instead of down and was stuck! The poor little guy had a giant bruise on his head from all of the pushing, but he was born with no other complications. We did have to battle with jaundice for a while, but he's coming through that well too. He was born Oct 20 at 6pm, 6 lbs 14 oz, 19 in long.

So precious! I love the fact that your prego ticker says that you still have 10 days to go :) I bet you are thankful that it is wrong!
well, you have been home for a little while. how are things going? still a little bumpy, or smooth sailing. cant wait to see more pictures.
AWWW Congrats! I'm sorry you had to have a c-section after all that labor, but at that point I bet you were just glad to have him out! He is adorable!
