A Few Details.....

Tatum was a planned C-section delivery at 38 weeks since Taylor was a C-section as well. This time the delivery was a piece of cake - Tatum was head down, in position, and within 5 minutes of my spinal, she was here! Taylor on the other hand, was transverse and my fibroids were blocking her delivery so my OB requested forceps to pull her out - which she got the response that we don't keep forceps in the delivery room! She ordered them to grab some ASAP and so this delivery was pretty smooth! We had to be at the hospital at 5am for a 6:30am surgery. The pre-op nurse had me ready to go with monitors on the baby, IV, blood work, etc. She then asked, do you feel those contractions? I didn't. Then my OB came in and asked the same question - do you feel those contractions? This little one is coming today like it or not! And at 8 lbs 7 oz she was no small baby for being 2 weeks early!
Just after her birth - I'll spare you the pics of my insides in full view! After clean up
