Boy or Girl? Scheduled Breech C-Section

Did we have a boy or a girl? Today I’m sharing our scheduled breech c-section experience over on YouTube, and I want to thank you all for the love and prayers you’ve sent our way during this unexpected journey!
Hey sweet friends, I donโt want to type a large post today since Iโm still pretty sore from my recent c-section. I just wanted to let you all know that baby number 4 has arrived, and we put together a YouTube video in order to share our experience with you.ย

In my last post I explained the ECV procedure and how it ended up being unsuccessful, and I asked you guys to pray that our breech baby would flip. Well, our baby never ended up flipping – in fact the morning of the c-section they did one more ultrasound just to be sure before proceeding.ย

I plan to share more about my c-section in the near future – what it was like, how recovery has been, and how Iโm doing both physically and emotionally.
For right now Iโm just trying to enjoy this state of newborn bliss. Holding and cuddling those tiny little fingers and toes and kissing that soft head of hair. As hard as postpartum recovery is, holding our precious baby makes all of the pain worth it.


Thank you all again for your love, support, encouragement and prayers both during and after the c-section. I was overwhelmed by the number of messages, emails and comments that came in even on the morning of the procedure. We are so in love with our sweet new addition! Love you all – I hope to be back very soon.ย


PIN IT FOR LATER

Andrea and Family, thank you for sharing your birth story with us! Take care of yourself! I think I speak for most of us…we’ll be here when you come back.
Thank you Sandy!
Hi Andrea, I was given a cross stitch that said โThereโs a special place in heaven for the mother of four boysโ. Godโs blessing on your family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Karen
Aw, thank you so so much!!
Andrea, you and Mike are being called by God, specially, to be raising amazing, strong, Christian, men of love, honor, and decency for the next generation, at a time in human history when we will need men like that more than ever. You are entrusted with an incredible job, and God could not have chosen a more wonderful couple for this. We are in trying, pivotal times. There is so much hope in my heart when I know people like you are raising the young men we will desperately need for the future.
Baby Isaiah is GORGEOUS. God Bless you, Andrea.
This is so well said, Jill.
I have a friend with four sons, and she said somebody told her that someone has to raise the godly men. You and your husband are doing that big job so well. I bless you both in the Name of Jesus with the wisdom, courage, consistency, tenacity, and clear vision to raise men of God, mighty warriors in His Kingdom!
When you feel inadequate for the task, remember this: God is able to make All grace Abound toward you that you Always having All Sufficiency in All things may Abound to Every good work.
This is such an encouraging comment to me, thank you so much for sharing this with me!
