I have not had a C-Section, so forgive me if my advice is not quite what you are looking for. I did, however, have a birth that was not at all what I expected!
If I were you I would focus on how excited you were to meet your beautiful child. If you did not know her sex, you could say how excited you were to find out if the child growing inside you was going to be your son or your daughter, and how you felt when you heard the Dr say "It's a girl!".
You could also tell her what you were thinking whe you saw her for the first time, and how you felt the fist time you held her new little body in your arms.
You cold tell her what she looked like, and what type of noises she first made. Was she quite and calm, or was she spirited and loud! Talk about the parts of her personality you saw that first day, and continue to see now.
I know how disapointing it is to have a birth so unlike what you planned for and expected, but I try to focus on the bigger picture. I have a beautiful and wonderous daughter that I have the privlage of spending every day with. Her birth was just one day, one sceene in her life. Our time together each day is so much more than I could have ever hoped for, and to me that is what really counts.
I think it is a wonderful idea to share your birth story with you daughter on her birthdays. In fact, you have inspired me to do some thinking on how I can incorporate that into our life as well! Thank you for the wonderful idea!
