Well......we are happy to welcome Nolan Bryce Seymour to our family. He was born last night at 11:04 PM. He is 19 3/4 inches long and right at 7 pounds.
Unfortunately he was born via c-section. Things progressed well for a while, but then I got stuck at 5-6 cm and Nolan's head was continuing to descend despite me not being dilated. This caused his heart rate to decrease several times for a significant amount of time. Thus the c-section.
In the end we are happy to have a healthy baby and a healthy mom. I think my biggest frustration comes from all the preparing and research we did on natural child birth. It was all natural until surgery.
He is too cute! I know I am completely biased, but still he is so darn cute. I will post pictures when I can. We'll keep you updated on how he is doing and when we will be heading home.
Thanks again for all your prayers! We couldn't have done it without you.

ReplyDeleteIf he could have hung out another 56 minutes then he and Dakota could have shared a birthday! So excited and can't wait to see some pictures. You will find there will be many things in parenting that don't go as planned...but they always work out best for your family. Guess it shows who's in control, huh?? Not us!
