Well, the Little Prince decided to make his debut into the world the day before my due date. As I suspected, we had to go in and get him. I was in labor all day and actually dilated all the way to ten centimeters, but the little guy was so happy and cozy he just didn't want to come out. So I ended up having a c-section.
Having given birth both ways now I can honestly say that I think women who schedule c-sections for convenience are out of their minds. Here I am, one week later and I'm still having trouble getting around. Thank God my mother is here to help me because I honestly don't know what I'd do without her. Talk about pain! I admit, I'm a wimp. I get dizzy from paper cuts. But this is a new pain, one I'd rather not feel again.
I'm rambling. I haven't slept much. I don't know when I'll post again. In the meantime, here he is.

Oh My Goodness!!! He is adorable!!
Congratulations!!! I agree, C-section's SUCK!! I hope you feel better soon. I'm glad to hear to have some help.
Congratulations!! He's gorgeous! I've been thinking about you all week! I was just going to email misc to see if she had heard anything.
I hope you feel better soon and I'm glad everyone is okay!
Congrats! He is a handsome man! :)
As some who scheduled a c/s (not for convenience), I think laboring all day then being cut open is the worst of both worlds. I never went into labor at all either time and with the second one I was released from the hospital a day early. Then I was at Target shopping (with a motorized cart) the next day and was in Bloomington at the mall shopping (without the motorized cart) by the time she was 5 days old.
I'm glad you have some help and I hope you feel better soon.
Congrats!
I had two c-sections, both scheduled b/c they didn't think I would dilate (and I didn't). I don't know any different. But I just think it has to be worse to be in labor first and then get a section. With both of mine I got a good night's sleep and was prepared for it.
Let us know if you need anything.
