Happy Birthday sweet Theodore! 
⁣
I’ve never really shared about Theodore’s birth. Finnley came very fast. We barely made it into the birth center before I gave birth to him on the floor! Hoff came quickly, even though my body was far from ready. So we assumed Theodore would come quick as lightening. 
⁣
But Theodore was another story. Three weeks before my due date, he flipped into the breech position. We had a successful version before he flipped back to breech a mere week before my due date. The day before I would have to go in for a possible c-section, he flipped back to heads down. 
⁣
I labored with him for 30 hours. At one point, my doula took my hand and said “He can feel it — your heartbreak. He’s trying to hold you.”
⁣
I let go and, almost a year after birthing and saying goodbye to Hoff, I received the gift of saying hello to this precious child. 
⁣
Theodore has been the snuggly, chubby, roll of a baby that I longed for. He has been all cuddles, head on my shoulder, sucking his thumb. He has been an answer to prayer. 
⁣
“You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy.”
