THE BIG DEBUT!!

The wait is over! The Maverick finally decided to make his big debut. Dallas John Cooks was born on March 25, 2010 at 12:46 p.m. weighing in at 6 pounds, 11 ounces and 20 inches long!

After 12 hours of attempts to induce labor, Dallas decided that enough was enough. Although Mommy was contracting, her cervix never dialated. With each contraction (and there were some big ones), Dallas' heartrate dropped. These factors made Mommy's nurses (Kim and Pat) and Dr. Fox a bit nervous. Thus, a c-section was scheduled.

Of course, Daddy was in the operating room with Mommy. As a matter of fact, Daddy's face was the first that Dallas saw when he opened his eyes!! In the waiting room were Grandma Bobby, Auntie April, and Uncle Miguel. If you know this family, then you know that tears (of joy) were flowing everywhere!!
