Little Max Henry Mazanek was born after a LONG day of labor for Mallory. He was 7 lbs. 15 oz., 21 1/2" long and just perfect! He looks a lot like Mike and Mallory's younger brother Taylor. There's something about those Cash genes - they flat out dominate.
Unfortunately, Mallory's husband was not able to be there to witness the birth of his first born. He is a military man and was selected for a specialized training which began on August 1st. They tried to convince their doctor to induce on July 30th or 31st, but were unsuccessful. The doctor would only induce 1 week early and that date was August 1st. Not too helpful since he left that same morning. They were able to talk and text all day and he was kept up to date on her progress during labor and then of course was the very first phone call once Max arrived. Thankfully, he will get to come home this weekend to meet his boy! It's a quick 1 night trip, but at least he doesn't have to wait the full 6 weeks. That would have been so hard!
We are so proud of Mallory and how great she did delivering her first baby! Not only did the labor go longer than expected, but she had to do it without her spouse there. Something I can't imagine. My mother-in-law was with her though and was an awesome coach. I guess once you have 6 kids like Cindy does, you hit pro status as a labor coach. I know it was an awesome experience for her to watch her first grandson come into the world.
Congrats Mal and Mike! We are thrilled for you! Praying God would bless your marriage and little Max as he grows. We can't wait to meet him over Thanksgiving. And like I have already stated - I have dibs on him. :)
