She's Having a Baby

Pan started having labor contractions little after Midnight. I got up around 1 AM. We went to the hospital at 5 AM. We had some wonderful nurses in our labor room (Thanks Brenda & Laura).


At 3 PM, we learned that the baby was turned wrong. I had to put on scrubs, going on little sleep and head to the operating room. Pan had to get a Episiotomy. The doctor then had to turn and pull the baby out. Luckily for us, the Doctor delivering our baby is one of the few doctors in the US that is qualified/experienced enough to deliver with forecips. I was told that if it had been any other doctor, Pan would have had to get a Cesarean.



End Product : Maya, arrived at 4:43 PM, 8lbs 7oz, 20 1/2 inches. Thanks to the fine medical team that helped with Maya's delivery. Both mother and daughter are doing fine. Doggies are doing fine. Poppa...to be continued...I will be busy for the next couple of days and will try to post pictures as soon as I can.
