Giving birth in Brazil

Mary Virginia was in labor for 19 hours before the doctor decided she needed to have a C-section because the baby was not dropping. In Brazil 94% of babies born are born cesarean. And although Mary Virginia wanted to have the baby normally, Brazil is probably the best place for a cesarean. It seemed like Aubry would come down and then go back up again. Cindy had had the same thing happen with Mary Virginia. Like mother like daughter. At 11:55pm on Sunday night August 12th(Father’s Day in Brazil), Aubry Nicole Mabery was born. Cindy and Rick and Randy Porter (their translator) got to see the whole operation from a window where they took lots of pictures. Cindy’s favorite picture is of the nurse presenting Aubry to Mary Virginia for the first time with Matt watching over them. Aubry, also known as baby “Bree” is beautiful and soooo sweet! Can’t wait for you to meet her!
