5:20 am. Getting ready to have a BABY!!
The last month-in a word...miserable. There have been so many Doctor visits, phone calls, a lot of paper work, and countless prayers. Between Preston and I and 4 doctors/surgeons, we decided our best option was to have the baby by c-section 3 weeks early. The stent draining my kidney either needed to be replaced or removed a.s.a.p. But that was a little risky because it could put me into labor or cause a number of other problems. Plus I really didn't want to go through an extra surgery. I haven't recovered from the kidney stone and original stent surgery. To make matters worse, the baby was breech. So our decision was c-section at 37 weeks. We were very nervous about the baby. We prayed his lungs would be developed, and he'd be healthy.
Happy me, right before my freak out regarding what was about to happen.
I couldn't have gotten through any of this without Preston. He is my favorite. He keeps me calm and laughing when I'm nervous and anxious.
A c-section is weird. Very uncomfortable. But it was awesome to have it over so quickly and not be in labor for hours and hours.
Little Braylon B Holgreen born at 7:59 am.
6 pounds 5 ounces
20 inches
Healthy as can be!
I can't begin to describe the relief when I heard him cry. It was amazing.







I am in love.
