Dorry started pushing around 5:30 pm. Quickly they discovered that Master Rowan's Fetal Attitude was abnormal, which means basically that instead of coming out with his chin touching his chest (standard fetal position), his head was tilted the opposite direction--sometimes known as sunny-side-up. To avoid a Cesarean Section, Dorry had her work cut out for her. This presentation required far more room for his head to pass through the birth canal, so she pushed HARD for about 3 hours (and some change). My wife showed more courage and diligence than I have ever given anything in my life, and finally after hours of HARD work this baby came into the new world.



Master Rowan's work was not light. He negotiated some difficult passes, but at the end of the day he came out (looking a little alien-ish). Within a few hours, his jarhead settled out and he looked a little more normal.
