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:

[via YouTube] did you end up getting him circumsized?

[via YouTube] I’m sorry you ended up with a c-section. I had one too. I’m planning an HBAC for my next.
Breech doesn’t automatically mean c-section…vaginal breech is safe.

[via YouTube] I had an emergency c-section after dialating to 8 cm. 22 hrs of labor… I had a beautiful 9 lb 4 oz and 23 inch baby boy. U seem to be walking very well for only 2 days after birth… I could hardly walk by 2 days later.

I also had a c-sec 9 years ago this Christmas Eve, after 21hrs. My son weighed 10.5lbs, no gestational diabetes. Healthy.

[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.

[via YouTube] Glad everything ended up going great! CONGRATS!

[via YouTube] That is the sweetest video of your little family! I’m so happy for you!

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.

[via YouTube] What a gorgeous wee man!Sad that you didn’t get the birth you wanted but it doesn’t matter as long as you get your bubs!

Oh, I forgot to mention that you look so vivacious and pretty in that video…and you just had a baby! :)
You also have a great “camera voice.”

What a sweet, sweet boy he is. And I love the name you chose for him.
Congratulations!
