Sep. 29, 2008 - Happy Birthday

Why is there a penguin?  and what does it have to do with a birthday?  Bethanne loves penguins and hippos (see the bottom of the post) and so what better way to have a Happy Birthday post than to put a penguin and hippo on my blog LOL.  Bethanne is 4 today!!!!!  I can't believe.  At this time 4 years ago I was being prepped and prepared for my induction.  My friend, Pam, was there acting as my unofficial doula and also helping with Hannah, my husband, Don and of course Hannah.  I went several LONG hours before needing an epidural for severe back labor and then as I was begining to push she laid on a nerve which was so painful I could feel it even with the epidural!  Once she was out the pressure was relieved and I felt fine.  Bethanne was my first VBA1C and while it was long it was well worth it.  My OB/GYN was great and followed my wants as much as he could and the nurse I had for most of my labor (she got off before I delivered) was excellent and Christian!  We travel between 45 minutes to an hour to get to the hospital we use and it's definitely worth the drive.

So Bethanne happy 4th Birthday!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Bethanne!!! I was thinking about her today. I have it up on my calendar. It was a great VBAC, thank you again for letting me be a part of it back when you had her.
