Little Chasten gave his parents a long wait before he made his appearance! He was about a week overdue when the doctor decided to induce. They started the induction and it went very slow…I arrived when Laeny was about 5 cm dilated and about a 28 hours since they started the process. She had her parents and her husband by her side. Eventually she was almost fully dilated and started trying to push, but exhaustion set in and little Chasten just wasn’t moving down enough. The doctor kindly suggested a c-section and the parents were very hesitant at first. Finally the decision was made it would be best to go ahead and do the c-section because it had already been 36+ hours and this poor mama needed to have her baby so she could sleep and eat and hold him of course!
I was very thankful that the birth team let me tag along into the OR and capture those special moments of the birth. Afterwords we headed to the room to introduce Chasten to his Grandparents. It was so special!
Thanks for letting me share this special day with you guys!!
