C-section vs. **ginal birth

Every baby darcy has had up to now has come the way babies came for thousands of years. Now we are doing it the way modern medicine provides for. It is surreal.

For Allissa through Carleigh, Darcy would tell me what day we were having the baby and what days to take off following the birth. That day, I would come home with a chocolate shake from McDonald's and we would walk, and walk, and walk. Then when she is dilated to 2 cm we would get an epidural and within an hour, baby! By her side all the while we had comfort in being together.

Now I'm sitting in a recovery room waiting for the nurse to come get me.

I'm nervous, not being able to be by her side, holding her hand and knowing she is ok.
