Teagen's Birth story

You were a bit of a surprise. I wanted another baby but it happened sooner than I thought. From the start we were so excited to add another little bundle of joy to our family. When we found out you were a girl we were excited to see the sister bond form between paisley and you. I had a great pregnancy no problems throughout.
 We were anxiously waiting for you to come in God's perfect timing. It was a test of our patuents. He decided 11 days after the due date would be good. He also decided a C-section would be best.
No one saw this coming but God has a way of doing things His own way to teach us and mold us. The weeks leading up to you birth I prayed that God would use your birth to reveal his presence and glory in whatever way he would. I also prayed that your birth would be smoothe process. Well he did those two things. It was smooth but completely His own way.
I finally went into labor Monday evening after taking castor oil. By 5:30 mild steady contractions started. This was not the first of mild steady contractions so I was in doubt this was really going to happen. Well the contractions continued throughout the night. Me and daddy slept a little off and on and uncle Cees came over to stay with Paisley. By 12 I was getting very uncomfortable so we headed to the hospital. On the way we were still in doubt as the contractions slowed a bit. As we walked up to the correct floor, I had to run to the bathroom twice. Then when we got to the floor I had to go again. They wanted me to walk down the hall where we came from to use that bathroom. I told them I was not going to make it. Then my water broke right there. I wanted to cry. They let us in the triage room and started checking us in. I started to see meconium and began to worry. Tammy my midwife arrived and said it's ok. That helped a little. They moved me to a room and decided to do an ultrasound where we found out in surprise you were breech. I was all ready 8 cm and did not want to hear I would have a csection. I had to wait patiently to be prepped for surgery before I could get pain relief from the  contractions that were all a waste.
 Well God knew what he was doing. If I had tried to deliver you naturally you would not have done well traveling through all the meconium. A huge blessing in disguise. So despite a unplanned C-section you are here and healthy as can be.
