First surprise: I ended up having to have a c-section.
Because of your placenta issues you ask?
No, because he decided he wanted to be born sideways. :)
Last Tuesday at my doctor's appointment he was head down and "engaging nicely into the birthing canal" were the doctor's exact words. When we got to the hospital I was checked and no presenting parts were felt. So the ultrasound machine came out and what do you know, he was transverse! To make a long story short, the doctor tried to flip him into head down position, after many painful attempts it worked, pitocin was started and contractions started every 5 minutes, about 2 hours later the doctor came back to break my water, I was checked and the wrong parts were presenting, he now was breech! Yes, that's right, breech! End result, a lovely c-section.
Second surprise: Look at all his long black hair! I love it!
Third surprise: (but not much of a surprise) Avery and Quinn are in love with their new brother. They ask to hold him all the time. Avery is so careful with him and can't stop kissing his head. One of Quinney's new favorite things to do is help Mommy or Daddy by handing us a diaper and the wipes. It seems like Hayzen is fitting right in with not much of an adjustment...not yet anyway. :)
We are in love with our new little fella, he is such a sweet baby!
Presenting our new family of five.....:)
