My PB + J

he’s here!

Brayden James arrived via vbac this morning at midnight. His arrival was fifteen days prior to our scheduled c-section which came as a huge surprise when I started having contractions yesterday morning. He weighed in at 7 pounds 5 ounces and 19 inches long. As for his cleft, he only has a cleft lip the palate was not involved! More of our story to come…

    Great news! Now if only he was “perfect” in your eyes. Shame on you for your previous comment in your own blog! Just wait until your child is old enough to read that!

    Anonymous must not be as strong as you are. Especially since they have to hide behind anonymity. You’ve been completely honest and are an inspiration to those going through the same thing, Mel. Don’t let one’s harsh words bring you down. There are many around you who know you think your baby is perfect.
