so as i was saying about a month ago ....
townes was born on a saturday two days after thanksgiving.
my water broke two hours after my dad had just left our house to go back to chattanooga.
we threw webb in the car, called the seibels up the street (who we are extremely grateful for),
and were on our way to the hospital.
the on-call doctor was at the hospital next door and said she would be there shortly.
shortly turned into two hours and by that time i had dilated all the way.
the baby was coming and i knew it.
which was kind of a problem given that townes was breech, booty down.
i was told the "in house" ob was going to have do the c-section.
i had just met him.
he had to be 70.
praise the lord the doctor made it right as they were about to start the surgery.
she was amazing and a hoot!
after townes came the nurse said,
"i didn't want to tell you this but the last time i checked you i saw some little butt cheeks".
oh gracious!
townes arrived and was perfect.
i, on the other hand, was a nervous shaking wreck :)

attempting a family pic.
i've learned over the years to just go ahead and smile at the camera ...
praying that webb will choose to do the same.

a miracle this even came together!

webb looks more excited about this meeting then townes.
casey's mom and the baby.
she and jimmy entertained webb while we were in the hospital.
so thankful!
this was one alert little boy.

headed home ... and some kisses from big brother.
a few things i've learned from my second pregnancy ...
1. if you can avoid a c-section, avoid it!
2. i had no idea how much compassion i should've been giving (and now will) mom's who have c-sections.
3. like they all say, yes ... webb seems like a grown boy now. he's so big!
4. you really do forget. EVERYTHING! breastfeeding, changing a bizzillion diapers, OH and the night sweats.
i've already forgotten that this time around i slept on the couch for a week because i couldn't get in and out of the bed.
i just remembered while i was typing this!
but as "they" (casey always asks me "who is they?") say ... it's all worth it!
stayed tuned for a christmas recap next.
i'm finally catching up!
Precious.Wonderful.Precious.Wonderful.
