I was in labor for almost 38 hours, but thankfully it wasn't intense labor the entire time. I managed to dilate to an 8, but my cervix wouldn't dilate any further and the doctor found that my pelvic bone was not wide enough to allow her head to pass through, so there was no other option than a c-section at that point. I was very disappointed, but I knew there was nothing I could do about it. The entire labor and delivery was one big blur, but now we finally have our sweet baby girl. She's almost 2 weeks old and it's been a whirlwind of emotions - joy, confusion, insecurity, confidence, you name it. No matter how trying it is though, I am so thankful to finally have the baby that I've always wanted.
Thank you God for this wonderful blessing!

She is beautiful!! Congratulations!!! Enjoy being a mommy, it's the best job in the world!
YAYAY!! I knew you were having her on the 26th, I saw Jen and she told me you were in labor. So I have been waiting for 2 weeks to see her precious little face. What a doll and what a blessing. 38 hours is a LONG time!!! You go girl! It is a hard learning process but like you said it is all worth it. Enjoy her as much as you can! And CONGRATS!!
Yay! I hadn't seen a post and was hoping you weren't still pregnant! She is beautiful! Isn't cuddling with a little warm body the most wonderful feeling in the world? ;o) Take care, judy
