Back to the Hero. When I was finally close to delivery, the doctor had to push the baby back up the birth canal to reposition its head. That wasn't pleasant. It had been back labor because the baby's head was positioned wrong.
After he repositioned her, she was born in 3 minutes. I was ecstatic and the nurse was also. My baby girl was beautiful and she was in my arms! While the Hero was happy too, he couldn't resist a bit of humor. "Oh, my," he said,"she looks like she's been hit in the head with a brick." (Because of her position, the frontal skull was pressed down and the back was pushed up. Just in case you didn't know.)
Thanks hummer and Hero for the AM chuckle. I enjoyed this story a lot!
ReplyDeleteSimilar story with our first - humongous head, long labor, came out with a pointy-shaped head. Dad has never stopped kidding her for that. Men say the darnedest things!
ReplyDeleteOh, Hummer, I was so tired tonite, I almost dinna stop to read --- glad I did. Always enjoy your Hero stories -- and reminded me of the birth of my eldest grandson -- he had a very large pointy head for several weeks --- and he is just gorgeously huge all over now. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so much fun. Glad to know that others had teasing of their babies too. Glad you stopped by.
