10:30 pm: Worried that I have been at a 9 for 4 hours without progress.
I have a fever and they are worried about infection in me that will be transferred to Brock.

Brock's birth plan changes.

11:00 pm Tyler gets suited up for the C-Section. Lots of tears and prayers. Brandt and Alexis were there and Tyler and Brandt give me a blessing.

11:55 pm!!! BROCK IS BORN!!!!!

The nurse shows me a tiny little gooey baby! Tyler brings Brock over to my face! I give him kisses and tell him I love him. The Dr. unstrapped my hand so I could touch his face! He is beautiful!

Tyler takes Brock to get him a bath and some medicine. Brandt and Alexis stay with me in the recovery room.




2:00 am: We are all back together! I get to hold my baby for the first time! I am instantly in love! He is perfect!
I held Brock all through the night!
We are so grateful that after 20 fun hours of labor and a C-Section we are all back together!

Brock had a little IV in his head for a few days to get some antibiotics, but everything was fine! I know Heavenly Father was strengthening us during those scary moments! Tyler was amazing and helped me to be strong! I am also grateful for Brandt and Alexis for dropping everything and being with me.
It was the hardest, scariest, best day of my entire life!

Bethany - he is so beautiful! So sorry to hear about the C-Section. Pretty much the same thing happened to us too without the scary infection part. So glad everything turned out ok!
