more surgery

Alot has happened in a very short period of time. We found out my soon-to-be-born son was in breech position at 35 weeks. At 36 they said he had turned. At 37 they said no he didn't and at 38 (to the day) my water broke. They had wanted to schedule a c-section after the External version was unsuccessful to get the baby to turn. We simply did not have time because my water broke 2 days afterwards. We were faced with the awful choice of Cesarean or breech birth. Steven was beside himself, in his head all he heard was breech birth loose the baby, C-section loose the wife. Neither of us was prepared for a c-section since my first labor had gone so smoothly. But that is what we ended up choosing. We tried to goof around with the silly outfits and the thermometer on my forehead but we were both nervous. I was terrified of the catheter of all things. But my mother came to be with steve, and they took me back for the epidural. Steve came in and stayed with me. We heard the baby cry and we both smiled and laughed. He was beautiful. The recovery so far has been a piece of cake compared to my natural delivery last time. My husband is stretched to his limit. We just bought a new Journey to have room for the kids, the prius was a joke with 2 car seats and a dog. I already miss my car. Steve also has the NCO board to try to become a Sergeant. I am really proud of him for all the studying he has done. I know he is stressed and I am really trying to help him out. ahh life is stressful, and wonderful all at the same time. It is raining a gorgeous rain here in upstate New york and there is nothing I would rather see right now than a thunderstorm (besides my husband that is.)
