We had our 36 week check up the Monday after Hurricane Ike and the baby was still in the transverse position. The doctor said let's get this baby here - next week! and suggested Thursday, September 25th in the morning. My first response was that I have a meeting that day! So we quickly changed our mindset that we had a few weeks to prepare and started planning for this little one to come in 10 days! I wrapped up work 10 days early and we got the nursery as finished as it would be.
During these 10 days she was moving all over - even had her head down where it was suppose to for the last ultrasound, but then moved back to her favorite position across my stomach under my ribs.

Heather at 6:00am right before the C-section - the ultrasound showed she was oblique (diagonal) but at least her head was down
Heather just before major abdominal surgery - right before they started, the doctor saw the baby move again - right back to her favorite position! They had to do some serious maneuvering (including forceps!) to get this little one to come out!Her first few minutes of life!
Our sweet baby girl!
She weighed 7 lbs 10 ounces and measured 20.25 inches. We are glad she came at 37 weeks before she got any bigger!
Does she look like a Taylor?! We wanted to see her before we decided for sure! She is already looking to eat in this picture!
The first time Mom gets to hold Taylor about 3 hours later
Look at all that hair! We love it!
12 hours later!
She loves being held by her dad!
Her first visitors! Mason & Robyn Branning
