Bringing Liam into the world!!

Around the middle of March I found out that my baby boy was breached. My doctor gave me three choices to either wait and see if he turns by himself, just plan on having a c-section or do a version (where the doctor tries to turn him with his hands outside my belly). I really wanted to have my first baby vaginal so I wanted to try to have my doctor turn him. He told me we had to do it in the hospital and in case anything were to happen to me or the baby while doing it. He also said that 75% of the time they turn successfully. I went into the hospital and they hooked me up to an IV got me all ready and started turning...boy did it hurt! He tried for about 45 minutes, both ways and my baby boy did not want to turn at all. He is a stubborn boy just like his Dad. So I went through all that pain for nothing...We scheduled a c-section for April 21st, 6 days before his due date. I was terrified to have one, no one else in my family has had a c-section so I couldn't turn to anyone for advice and most of all my Mom wasn't going to be here to help me. I was having a hard time with her not being there but this made it even harder. I knew that Heavenly Father would bless me for her not being here and that helped make it a little better. I was also terrified of being cut open while I was awake and the whole time just thinking about it. My Mom told me that everything would be okay and that Heavenly Father would help me through it.
            The night before we went to the Riverton hospital to have our baby Brian and I could not sleep at all. We were up all night talking and just wondering how it was going to be to be parents. We were so excited, nervous and probably every emotion possible. That morning my Mom and Dad called me to wish me well and that they would be waiting for my call when I have my baby. I got into the hospital and they hooked me up to an IV, got me all ready to go into surgery. My brother Koy is an ER doctor at Riverton and was working the night before and he knew how nervous I was and how much I wanted my Mom there so he come to my room before I went in and was there when I got out. He couldn't have replaced my Mom but it meant so much to me that I had someone there for me. Brian got all dressed in surgery clothes and we walked into the room. It was bright lights and to be honest a little overwhelming. I laid down on the bed and they numbed me from my chest down. It was the weirdest feeling not being able to feel most of my body. My doctor then came in and started cutting me open. My dear husband sat by my head and talked to me the whole time so I didn't have the chance to think about it. I do feel bad because he wanted to watch the whole thing. He wants to be a doctor and is really interested in the human body. We were talking and all of a sudden I hear the doctor say here is the birth of your baby boy. Brian jumped up and saw them pulling him out. We heard him cry and it was the most amazing thing I have ever heard. They brought him to a table by me and started giving him shots and making sure he was okay. They weighed him and he was 7 pounds 2 ounces and 19.5 inches long. He was adorable and it was everything I had hoped it would be. My doctor was stitching me up while this whole thing was happening and all I could do was watch him. I was dying to hold my baby boy and was so disappointed that they didn't give him to me to hold after he came out. After they made sure he was okay they put him in my arms and I fell in love instantly. He was perfect and I couldn't believe he was mine. I never wanted to let go. Brian held him and I loved seeing the most important people in my life together. Seeing Brian hold him for the first time was the perfect picture. That day is a day that I will never forget and was the second best day of my life (first being when I married Brian in the temple so I could be with my family for eternity). Here are pictures from when Liam Brian Wiseman was brought into this world. I love him with all my heart!!!!!
