Dangers:  Entrapment of cord (also happened with Caleb), inability of child’s chest to expand properly, and severe brain damage or death if child is not delivered within minutes. All of our family on both sides have been supportive of my decision to do a c-section, but in case anyone was wondering why, I think that explains it pretty well! This puts the baby at great risk for brain damage and death. Caleb was actually  born purple and not breathing. Thankfully, my doctor was able to quickly revive him. There were lasting effects, though. …..So if all goes as planned this will be my very FIRST non-emergency delivery, with no running medical staff, no flashing red lights, no general sense of panic, you get the idea. ********** Editor’s note: Great news! John David was born with no complications whatsoever. You can read his birth story here. […]

The pictures are great and Alan really does look like “super dad”! John David's hair looks like Amy's and he looks much older than he is in every picture! I just want to hold him… Thanks for the pictures. The rosebud for him will be at church in the morning. We got home from family reunion about 12:30 am but will be at church in the morning for that! A gigantic thanks goes out to Terry and Lisa and prayers with them as they bring the boys south. Love to ALL! Nonna and DaddyO
