okay friends, this has been an emotional and thrilling day that i have been blessed to watch unfold via facebook:) pictured below is my super-woman of a friend Rose (many of you read her blog or might recognize her as my co-host on momeez:) who lives in Florida, thus the reason i had to follow the many twists and turns of the day on my computer!
so, sweet rose checked into the hospital today (09-09-09) at 41 weeks pregnant for her scheduled c-section, but below you see her pictured right after her epidural which came shortly following her water breaking---what, you say? that's right--after showing NO signs of labor AT ALL yesterday at her doctor's appointment, her sweet baby decided to get a move on today and took us all on an emotional rollercoaster that ended in a VBAC!
that's right---rose, who has been preparing for a VBAC all along had finally conceded to the idea of a second c-section and then her water breaks while she's waiting for the doc to arrive to do her 1:00pm surgery---crazy right? well, i am aMaZeD at her strength, grace, and determination. she labored through-out the day, and 10:16pm she was able to hold her little miracle in her arms.
so here he is, the 'little' 9lb 8.4 oz, 21 inch miracle--henry patrick cochran!
this first family photo makes me tear up each time i look at it!
SO much love and relief on her face.
SO much love and relief on her face.

congrats, again, rose & matt--this birth story will definitely go down in momeez history:)

Oh yay! Congratulations to your friend! What an exciting surprise! God works in mysterious ways.
That's a big boy she had there. And very handsome! I love those last 2 pics of him looking up at his daddy. :)
OMG he is adorable! I didn't realize she was at the hospital for the Csect when her water broke! Rose and I have been blog buddies since way back when Colin was still cookin'... I followed along on facebook yesterday as well, but today checked her blog and saw your post in her sidebar (That's how I ended up here). He is such a cutie and I'm so glad she got her vbac!!!!
