I would like to start this story of yours beginning a couple of weeks ago. You were breech in Mommy's tummy and we scheduled an external cephalic version (a procedure to try and manual turn you around in Mommy's uterus from the outside). You flipped right around! About 10 minutes later you decided it wasn't the place for you and right back you went, your little head resting on Mommy's ribs. Your mommy and I thought, shoot, now what. We scheduled to have another version on the 12th of February. If it worked, the doctors would induce Mommy and we would have you right there. If it didn't, we were to schedule a c-section for February 20th. The 12th turned out to be a long and amazing day. I'll go over the long part here quickly and get to the amazing part shortly. We went in at 9:40am to do the version. They told us if it works, we will induce but we will have to wait 7 hours until more staff comes in. We decided that was way to long to wait and asked if we could come back later and try. They said sure. We came back to the hospital at 5:30 pm to do the version. Your aunt Meredith came with us. After two attempts of a version your mommy and the doctors agreed that you just were not going to spin around. Mommy and I made the decision to see if we could get a c-section that very night. To our relief, they agreed. Mommy got prepped for surgery and your aunt Meredith and I got ready to take pictures for when you arrived. I was pretty nervous about the whole thing but I think I did a pretty good job at not letting your mommy know. The doctors and nurses told us your mommy was ready and we went into the operating room. About ten minutes went by and here is the amazing part, we got to meet you. I am sitting here in our room in the hospital looking at you sleep next to Mommy. You are so beautiful. My two beautiful girls. Welcome to the family Hadley.
