Nikki Had A Baby Born Face First in Fargo
Nikki and Chris in Love - They Have a Girl and a Boy
It's rare to have a baby born face first, but that is just how our Cayden came into this world of ours! A face presentation is when a baby is born with the face looking up and emerging first. A face presentation is considered to be a fetal malpresentation which may require a C-section.

My own family theme drew from my parents' Midwestern farming origins, the changing economy of the post World War II era, the fact that I had one sibling, and plenty of shocks and upsets at home. I could explore the theme of my family from beginning to end and write 24/7 from now til eternity without exhausting this theme!
