Catching up #2

I feel like this catching up thing could take a while! And I love that it is so late that the post I made half an hour ago is showing up in October. Check out Catching up on the last four months (in October) for the first half of these updates. Here are some more pics from my pregnancy and of Paul working on the nursery.

Our pregnancy kept us on the edge of our seats for sure. We elected to have a scheduled C-section on July 9, due to Silas' footling breech presentation for the last 10 weeks of the pregnancy and the likelihood that I have a uterine abnormality that was preventing him from turning. After being given a lot of information (and seeing that his head was measuring in the 95th percentile in ultrasounds....yikes!!!), we decided that the benefit of having him turned would not be worth the risks, and chose the C-section route to so as to avoid having an emergency C-section later on.

Silas Daniel was born at 806am on July 9, 2010, weighing 8 pounds, 11 ounces and measuring 19 1/4 inches long.

Per my doctor, his head measured 4 centimeters bigger than the average baby, and I would have likely had to have a C-section anyway, so it seems as though we made the right choice.

I have much more to post, but I will have to do it tomorrow. Time for bed!
