Today, August 11, 2007, 6:20pm Woods was born at Baylor Medical Center here in Dallas. He weighed in at 7lbs 13oz, and is 20.5 inches long.
We came in this morning at 7:30am, after Audrey had about two hours of contractions that were right on top of each other. She progressed a little at first but then labor took a hiatus for a little bit. Our doctor decided that it would be best to break her water and keep this process rolling along. After some time had passed Audrey was complete but the doctor noticed that Woods was sunny side up (face up, and he needed to be face down). She reached up there and turned him but he fought it. We thought that he was finally settled and after about 20 minutes she decided to check and make sure all was well before Audrey started pushing. Woods flipped back! At that point the only option was to try and turn as she pushed, hoping that he would make the move and not get stuck in the process. He did great, fought a little but then conceded, and with about 25 minutes of pushing he was out. You will notice in the pictures he has lots of bruising on his face and forehead due to the turning process, but it has already started to go away. Cort was a little apprehensive at first, but then loved holding his little brother. He even tried to help clear out his nose. We look forward to this new Journey with two.
