I had to have a C-section as well. I was so bummed about it, and it took me a couple days of not being comfortable sleeping at home before I finally broke down in tears in the middle of the night looking at my beautiful daughter. She was here, and she was healthy. She was quite tangled in her cord that if we had tried to turn her like we planned the nurse said we would have had problems!<br />I know how you feel about feeling not as accomplished after birth - I didn't feel like I had done it! But God kept our girl safe and brought healing as well! Still hoping for a VBAC with this next one though!Linda Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259092908731735507.post-30297486317218322822014-04-22T14:06:34.630-07:002014-04-22T14:06:34.630-07:00What a beautiful post.

It is a SPECTACULAR song. I love that people going through all sorts of different struggles can identify with it. <br /><br />Oh lady, I'm so sorry that the twins didn't comply with the head down position for a vaginal birth, but you're right to focus on the fact that you've done what you could to encourage them to move and now it's time to have faith in God's plan for this birth. You've got this!!

I'm so glad it has gone smoothly and the babies are nice and big and healthy. I know how hard it is to carry twins, and I only made it to 33w2d, so I can only imagine how these last few weeks have been for you.

I did the same with #1 when #2 was on the way. I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to love #2 the same or that I would love #1 less. The only thing I had to compare it to was how the dog became less important when #1 came along. Would my first born become less important to me when her brother was born? I also struggled with how I would be able to love a boy as much as I did my daughter (hard for me to admit now, but that's how I felt!) But then my precious #2 was born, and all those worries faded. It is another beautiful gift from God that we are able to love and adore all of our children MORE as we have more of them!

He has such a special relationship with her and I have always felt it has something to do with the moments he got to spend with her right away. I was bonded, I carried her for 39 weeks and had felt every movement, every hiccup. I love that Brandon got some one-on-one time with her while they were finishing my surgery. Just a small thing, but thought I would share!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267471834041589194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259092908731735507.post-33052658919334927052014-04-15T17:43:38.363-07:002014-04-15T17:43:38.363-07:00i am praying for everything and you!!!
