Benjamin Vaughn Norman

My new little nephew!! Benjamin Vaughn Norman was born this morning, July 17 at around 8. He weighed exactly 7 lbs. and was exactly 18 inches long. Maria started having contractions last night (Wed.) around 11 and they got worse during the night. Around 4 am Thursday the contractions were about 6-8 mins. apart. Tory and Maria decide to go to the hospital around 6 am when the contractions were about 3-5 mins. By the time Maria made it to the hospital she was already 5 cm. a half hour later she was already a 7 cm. The docter did an exam and realized Ben had moved position since her last appointment last week. He was now breach. The docter felt it necessary to do a C-section since he was breach and the contractions were so close. The whole family is doing wonderful. She is expected to be home Sunday night or Monday morning. Josh and I are so glad Ben decided to make his apperance before we come in 2 weeks so we can fully enjoy him. Welcome to the family Benjamin!!!
