Nathaniel Christopher is here and he's perfectly healthy! He was born via c-section at 2:41 pm on Sunday. I went into labor around 1:30 am Sunday morning, but my contractions weren't close enough together to head to the hospital until 8 am. It was a long wait! Unfortunately, my labor slowed dramatically around 1 pm and the doctor was concerned that Nathaniel was no longer getting enough oxygen from the placenta. I had really hoped for a VBAC this time around, but the doctor said he had a nagging feeling that Nathaniel wasn't going to do well if my labor continued so slowly. I wasn't happy about the c-section, but of course, there was no question that the baby's well-being came first.
We're all doing well right now. I'm sore, but this time around has been nothing like the first. I'm moving around much better and feeling like I might actually heal sooner. Hopefully, we'll be taking the little guy home on Wednesday. I'll post more pictures soon.
Nathaniel's first moment on earth.
Looking a little like Mr. Magoo!

Yay for baby Nathaniel!! Love his precious little face, I can already see you both in there! I am so glad you are already healing well and I pray for a very speedy recovery (you are gonna need every bit of energy you can muster up!). Praying for these first few weeks to go smoothly and be surprisingly sleep-filled for all :)
