Maddox Alexander Munsell

was born at 9:42 on Thursday, May 21st. He was 7lbs and 9 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. He is perfect in every way.

Hey have you heard the news???

I'm having a baby tomorrow at 9am!!!! I cannot wait to meet my son! I will try to get pictures posted in the next few days. Wish us well!!!

No Such Luck....

trying to get the little man to turn. The version went fine (yes it hurts) but he just wasn't budging. I am glad we tried because I needed to know that I did everything I could to have a vaginal birth. We are scheduling a c section for 2 weeks from today and yes there is a tiny chance he could turn on his own. Mentally I am just planning on the c section and if he turns great. I am disappointed. I really wanted a natural birth, but all that matters is that I have a healthy baby so I'm fine with it.

Ummm crazy...........my baby boy will be in my arms in 14 days!!!!

Breech Baby

We just found out today that our little guy is breech. Ughhh one of my biggest fears! I have worked so hard to prepare to have this little man naturally and I have to admit I am a little upset. We went to over 20 hours of Natural Childbirth class, I have read so many books, and have practiced so many positions and breathing techniques. All I really want is a healthy baby and that really is all that matters to us, but it would be nice if I didn't have to get a c section. C Sections, while performed all the time, do have a greater risk to both the baby and me. We are going in Thursday to try the External Cephalic Version, where they try to turn him and if it doesn't work then we will be scheduling the section. The doctor said we have a 50/50 chance of turning him so wish us luck! Turn little man!!
