11:26am baby boy born like Superman! Came out with his hand up which doesn’t surprise us bc every ultrasound we tried to get of his face, he would not cooperate. 4th degree tears, way too many stitches to count. No epidural or pain medication. Took 45-60min to repair damage.

He is here and he is healthy. That’s what matters!
