Farren RobertMichael Thurmond

So after trying to induce labor for two and a half days the doctors told me I could keep trying for 24 hours or go for a C-section.  There were various signs that he just wasn't going to come naturally, so we opted for the surgery.  (Turns out that was the only choice:  his head had been trying to drop into my pelvis but his skull was too big [he actually had a little bruise on his temple when he came out], and HAD his head somehow fit his chest circumference was even bigger, so he most definitely would have gotten stuck.)  At any rate, Farren RobertMichael made his entry into this world at 6:45 pm on November 21, 2011.  He weighed in at 9 pounds 5 ounces and 19 inches, and we are so happy to have him!
