Keep the good vibes and prayers coming :)<br />Jennifer- although most people {including myself} automatically assume that a c-section would be better, in this case, the opposite is actually true. A vaginal birth is less traumatic and easier on the exposed bowel- with a c-section there it is difficult to pull the baby out without causing more harm to his delicate intestines.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877597282212673142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357532756325404499.post-6236193702256688572010-12-03T18:35:31.918-06:002010-12-03T18:35:31.918-06:00I'm so glad to hear that your husband will be ...I'm so glad to hear that your husband will be able to be there after all.

I was induced and after an 87 hour labor I had a c-section, but don't let that make you nervous. I was really firm about having as little intervention as possible and nothing worked because of his positioning (sunny side up). I don't know why, but I thought that you had to have a c-section with Elliot's condition?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276887523192938533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357532756325404499.post-16549304128849039622010-12-03T11:50:54.635-06:002010-12-03T11:50:54.635-06:00I have been a huge gob of emotions lately and read...I have been a huge gob of emotions lately and reading this made me cry.

You are so sweet and I do read each comment so THANK YOU!!<br /><br />Okay now on to this...Congrats on having your baby soon :)) These two weeks are going to fly by I am sure. I love the name, too! I can't wait to have another little one so seeing your sweet newborn when he arrives is going to make me want another litle M running around, haha! That is also so awesome that your husband will be home!!! And for so long, too that's wonderful. I can relate to feeling so relived that he gets to be home for so long after the baby. That was one thing I was really thankful for when I had M. <br /><br />Oh, and I also noticed you live near Grand Rapids?! My fiance works on the Great Lakes (that's why he's gone so much we live in TX) and his company is based around that area. Well it's in Muskegon. But he's been to Grand Rapids. <br /><br />Anyways, I totally wrote you a novel..sorry about that! Oh and I saw you have my button on your blog, thanks! I will totally return the favor and but yours on mine as well. <br /><br />Thanks again!!<br /><br />Oh and going to vote for you now :) <br /><br />Okay I'll stop typing now bc this is way long, haha!Malanda @ Outnumbered by Little Boys! https://www.blogger.com/profile/13567382518903706048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357532756325404499.post-63321163954927226302010-12-02T19:40:19.000-06:002010-12-02T19:40:19.000-06:00Thanks ladies!

I'm a little wary of the induction- I've heard so many stories about inductions failing and ending in c-sections and etc. Hopefully things will go well for us. How long {from start to finish} was your induction?<br />Samantha- yep, probably the 17th.

I have one thing to say-- don't be scared! I remember reading so may horror stories about inductions and about how people gave them bad rep. You know I was induced and let me tell you, it wasn't bad at all. Yes, it sucks to not go through the natural labor process, etc. but I was lucky enough to have some great nurses and I'm sure you will too! I hope, however, your induction doesn't take as long as mine did. Noah just didn't want to budge!! Anyways!-- I know you guys will all do great and I'll be thinking of you on the 16th!! :o) Please keep us posted best you can!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345246115737018160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357532756325404499.post-29169885241909847112010-12-02T18:57:11.819-06:002010-12-02T18:57:11.819-06:00Ooh, how exciting, congratulations!
