The Story...
I started having contractions on Wednesday around 4ish. They were 15 minutes apart and not that strong. By 1am they were every 5 minutes apart and strong. Clay and I headed up to the hospital and by the time we got there they were 3 minutes apart and very painful. I got my epideral and soon after my water broke or you could say, gushed. I progressed so rapidly that Charlie's heart rate could not keep up. We tried everything to get it back up but in the end I was rushed in for an emergency c-section. It was very scary but I felt well taken care of and knew this was what was best for his health. He was a big baby, head facing the wrong way and refused to drop into the birth canal.
I am recovering nicely and hope to go home tomorrow..... I think he looks just like me as a baby minus the forehead (dead ringer of Dad's). He is nursing great and Miss Vera does not seem to phase him one bit. I can now say I have experienced all types of labor... I have been induced, natural childbirth, natural labor progression and a c-section. I think that is a sign I am done.... Before my epideral I told Clay he could go get an vasectomy and that we were done (boy those contractions hurt). God just gave us a true blessing! A girl and boy, what more can you ask for....
Thanks for all the comments! Clay won the ExpectNet contest unless you count Amy's two guesses...!

It is definately a blessing to have a healthy baby even if he gave you a scare. We pray you have a speedy recovery.
Yes my 2 guesses should count!! Nadia, we are so happy for you guys to have a healthy and beautiful baby. Make sure you get lots of people to help you with Miss V and you should recover in no time!!
You are too funny! Your little story made me laugh! I thought for sure you both would want more then 2 kids! 2 is the max for us. But I think we really want a sibling for miss makenna!! we will see!!
Congrats Nadia! He is very handsome and looks just like you!
We wish you the best...
