ifYou Didn't Already Know, My Baby Is Here!

In summary, Deb and her husband David were planning a home birth, but when they were 17 days late, they decided to have an induction at the hospital. They labored for about 12 hours, but when their baby's heart rate went down radically, they were whisked off for emergency c-section. Baby was in the NICU for about 12-14 hours, but is now with them. They are all healing up nicely and plan to leave tomorrow.

We were planning a home birth, but it wasn't meant to be. God knew what was in store for us and where we needed to be.

I was 17 days late, so we consented to an induction at the hospital. I labored for ~12 hours, pushed for about 15 mins when baby's heartrate went down radically and I was whisked off for emergency c-section. They took him out with his cord wrapped around his neck twice so it was no wonder he couldn't make it down the birth canal! He was in the NICU for about 12-14 hours, but has been with me for the last 24 hours or so. We're all healing up nicely and hope to leave tomorrow. Oh, and all that labor and pushing (with pitocin the entire time, mind you) was DRUG FREE! I am the new superwoman.

Yep, since Little B sticks as a nickname for Brendan, I told Brian I needed a Little D, so all we considered were D names. :)
 
Congratulations Deb! You're in one of the most precious times for a family! I loved
the times of listening to my little ones talk to the new baby and all the amazing things they would say to them.
 
Congrats, Deb! Glad that everything turned out fine -- blessings to your family!BTW, younger moms are so funny -- back when I had mine (20-30 years ago), we had no drugs! Oh, yes we had pitocin, just no epidurals! All 3 of mine were drug free (last one had pitocin)-- long and painful -- it helps when they get older (you get a little sympathy from them when you bring it up). :)
