The Birth

Due to the baby being breech we had a c-section scheduled for Tuesday. Mom tried for 5 weeks to get him to turn-everything from chiropractor to frozen peas in his head to breech tilts on the ironing board. When nothing seemed to work, she resolved to her instinct that there was some reason only he knew of that he was keeping his head up. Sure enough, the cord was wrapped around him 3 times and had a huge knot in it. That left no room for getting in to proper position! Little Liam decided that he wanted his own birthday. After a morning of labor, which was not intended, and a quick trip to the doctor, they figured out that we were 8 centimeters dilated and it was go time! We hopped in the car and made a mad dash for the emergency room. We left Biltmore Obgyn at 1:55, we made it to the hospital by 2:02. We rushed straight through the emergency room right up to labor and delivery. Everyone was expecting us, they already had everything ready. They got us dressed for surgery and away we went. By 2:50 little William Hood Rice aka Liam was born unto this world. Wow what a bundle of joy and love. I know this may be a little one sided, but damn he is pretty handsome. Mommy and baby are doing just fine as is daddy. Thanks everyone for the continued support and love during this amazing time.
