Worth the wait!

August 5th, 2009 at 10:51AM our beautiful daughter was introduced to the world. Weighing in at 7lbs, 6oz and 21 inches long, it was love at first sight. Although labor and delivery did not end up as I expected, I've come to realize through many life experiences that everything happens for a reason. We were told numerous times by the doctors that she would arrive early, before my due date, but after being 9 days past due, they discovered that she was frank breech and had flipped during the last week of my pregnancy. With an attempt to turn her in the hospital that was unsuccessful, there was no other choice but to deliver her via c-section. I can honestly say that I felt robbed and was terrified of undergoing any type of surgery after experiencing what Phil had been through. I do feel in some ways that I missed out on bonding time with my new baby girl and the recovery was extremely difficult, but most importantly...Amaia arrived safely and couldn't have been healthier. Finally the moment we had been anticipating for months! She's here, she's beautiful, she's ours!! Absolutely worth the wait. The journey was amazing.
