Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes! We are home now. We ended up having an emergency transfer to the hospital at 7 cm and I ended up getting another emergency c-section. I will write out the whole birth story when i have some more energy, as I am still really in the healing stage-both physically and emotionally. The c-section was not a good experience and we were treated terribly by the Labor and Delivery staff. I am celebrating my beautiful baby girl and mourning the loss of my HBAC and the end of my childbearing, as DH and I have agreed that after 2 terrifying emergency births we are finished, as I cannot bear another c-section and no midwife will touch me with a ten-foot pole now. My body is just not meant for childbirth.
However...
My daughter is here, healthy, and we are totally enamored with her. She has a full head of dark hair ( and both DH and I are blond!), dimples in her cheeks, and the most perfect little pixie face. She had a very rough start at birth but she's doing fine now, nursing like a champ. We are all still trying to feel each other out.
