Junebug was born at 6:20 pm this afternoon by cesarean section. Mother and baby are doing fine.
MamaP was nothing short of heroic in her attempt to VBAC. Ultimately, complications related to thick meconium in the bag of waters and worsening fever caused us to make the decision for a C-section delivery. We are extremely pleased with the result - from the beginning, success for us was defined by our family walking out of the hospital together.
Junebug successfully latched onto the breast as soon as Mama was able, and has since nursed again. Currently mama is glowing, and baby is sleeping.
Thanks for all the support we received on the blog and in email - it really helped keep MamaP's spirits up.
We named her Holly Evangeline.
Welcome Holly!! I think it is awesome that you attempted the VBAC and all that matters is that you are now holding your healthy baby. :) Congratulations to the whole family!! Wishing MP a speedy recovery and continued prayers for all.
