Our biggest adventure yet!
Meet Lucy Rae O'Connell, born Wednesday, December 11th, 2019 at 5:04pm! Nearly three years in the making, she is finally here and we couldn't be happier! John: Last week, we confirmed that "Elrod" (our name for the fetus) was still breech, so scheduled appointments with a chiropractor and the OB for different attempts at turning the baby. The OB appointment was set for Thursday, and we were told to come prepared for a sudden birth, just in case the procedure caused distress or labor. They said it was 50-50 if they could turn the fetus; if it didn't work, we would schedule a Cesarean section soon thereafter. We were a bit on edge that week, making preparations and a bit disappointed that we'd likely miss out on that feeling of surprise that comes with a natural birth. Wednesday morning, we got that surprise! I had decided to forego duck hunting and go to work that day. I was just nervous about Thursday and wasn't feeling motivated...
