We had another scheduled c-section. Since I had to have one the first time when the giant dermoid was removed from my ovary, I knew a second would be recommended and be likely. My doctor was willing to let me attempt a vbac delivery if I had gone into labor and she had been in position.... But... there was no labor by the specified date. And then when they got in there on Ava's birthday there was her little bottom! She was breech and so I guess God intended all along that I would have another c-section.
Ava weighed 7 lb 8 oz and was 20 inches long. She was exactly a half a pound and one inch larger than her big sister was at birth.
And big sister is just smitten with Ava. She talks about how "precious" and "beautiful" she is all the time. She tells how much she loves her and how "she has changed my life forever!" She constantly wants to hold her and help do things.
Not many things can match this feeling.
We are so grateful to God for His gift of new life in our family.
