Shu was dilated to 10cm by 4:30p when her OB came and we started pushing. After 2 hours of pushing the OB started prepping us that she thought the baby may be large since there had been absolutely NO progress through the birthing canal. She suggested we give another 30 minutes of earnest pushing before considering C-Section surgery if there was still no progress. Shu bless her heart really gave it her all for a total of 2.5 hours of exhausting pushing. Then by 7:00p we decided with the OB to proceed with C-section surgery.
After an hour of surgery our beautiful little girl was born at 8:14p. She weighed in at a whopping 9 (yes NINE!) pounds, 8 ounces and measured 21.5 inches.
Mommy and baby are doing well after a loooong day for both. Right after baby was placed on mommy she immediately went to town with an all-the-milk-you-can-drink buffet feast.
More pics and stories to follow as we are now bonding with baby and getting much needed rest.
Thanks again for your love, support, and prayers!
Paul and Shu
