Our little boy was born on May 8th, 2009 at 11:34am via C-section at St. Mary’s Columbia Hospital in Milwaukee.
He weighed in at 7lbs 12oz and was 19″ long.
Here’s a video of us in the hospital talking about his birth:

I’m a fan of Weight Watchers because it helped me drop nearly 70lbs back in grad school – I’m now back on the wagon to lose the last few pounds gained during my pregnancy. After my initial success they hired me to produce content which gets hosted in places like their Facebook page.
On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, know that it’ll always be noted in its associated post, and for better or worse, the review will reflect my honest opinion.

Breech doesn’t automatically mean c-section…vaginal breech is safe.27 weeks ago

Nenywonkers: [via YouTube] Wow, my son was born May 8, 2006…I had a c-section also. I didn’t want a c-section but he was breached and at that point my son’s life was a lot more important than my delivery preference.50 weeks ago

Kelly: Congratulations on your new baby. I’m sorry your labour and delivery didn’t turn out the way you wanted to. There is always a chance for a vbac next time. I think have your water break prematurely can really inhibits labour.
I had a c-section with my first because she was breach, her water actually broke early but I had no contractions in the 4 hours I waited for the c-section. With my second birth I started pushing as soon as my water broke. I hope your second eventual delivery goes much bettter.1 year ago
