Megan Joy...


Well, as you can see, she's here. I finally had to just schedule a c-section as she wasn't coming on her own and they wouldn't induce me since I had a c-section with Caleb. For some reason it increases the risks of uterine rupture if you are induced. So, we prayed all weekend that she would come naturally, but she just didn't want to. So, Monday evening I had the c-section and she was born. She was not engaged at all and was really high actually, showing no signs of coming on her own. They had to use forceps and the vacuum and push really hard on my stomach to get her to come out! It was just crazy! But, everything turned out just fine and she was born healthy. She had a little trouble with her breathing and was taken to the NICU for a few hours to keep a close eye on her, but she was out that evening and brought up to me in my room. She's been doing well and so have I. I got released from the hospital a day earlier than they normally let c-section patients go, so that was nice. I was feeling good so asked if I could go home and amazingly, they let me! So, I came home Wednesday afternoon after having her on Monday evening. Jeremy's taken this week off of work so it's been nice to have some extra time with him as well as some help since I'm not able to do as much as I normally would with the c-section and all. I'm feeling really good though and not very sore at all anymore. God is so good!


She's sleeping well and eating well. She's such an excellent baby. Very easy baby and very content most of the time. She's so much fun and we're all enjoying her very much!!! Jeremy is totally taken with his daughter...as I knew he would be. Caleb loves his little sister and is always wanting to help out. I am enjoying having a baby again and she's such a perfect baby. We are so blessed!

Yes, you can refer others to look at this blog, just give them the web address. We're having a great time with Juliana so far and I know the rest of the time will be great as well. Caleb's sharing his room with her and thinking it's the best thing ever!!
