My little prince arrived on September 19, 2012 at 12:12 am via c-section. He weighed in at 8lbs 5oz and was 20 3/4 inches long! This is my first child and I am thrilled to have such a handsome little man to grace my life! Although I didn't plan for him to come, my family and I are so happy and we can't wait to see what the future holds for our little family!

"The Beauty Love Left Behind.
A mark for every breath you took, every blink, every sleepy yawn. One for every time you sucked your thumb, waved hello, closed your eyes and slept in the most perfect darkness. One for every time you had the hiccups. One for every dream you dreamed within me. It isn't very pretty anymore. Some may even think it ugly. That's OK. It was your home. It's where I first grew to love you, where I lay my hand as I dreamed about who you were and who you would be. It held you until my arms could, and for that, I will always find something beautiful in it."

It wasn't that bad. I was on pitocin for 12 hours before the doctor told me that I was going to have a c-section. I never dialated past a 6. My son's head was in an awkward position and wasn't pushing on my cervix like he was supposed to. Other than that minor difficulty no complaints! How was your labor?
