Welcome Kai, this is your life!
Last night at 12:30am April 19th the incredible Kristina Wendorf gave birth to our second child; a boy unofficially named Kai. That name will be confirmed shortly.
The birth is a little early and caught us by surprise, so we unfortunately had to deliver in the UW hospital instead of at the birthing center of our beloved midwife Charlotte Geddis. Kristina’s labor was quick and described by her as ‘intense’, which is an understatement.
Because Kai’s birth is at 35 weeks he is considered pre-term, so the hospital has been extra (maybe overly) cautious about monitoring his blood sugar, food intake and temperature. His first day has been spent in an incubator, but we have been able to visit him whenever we want, hold him, feed him, wipe off the black road tar that somehow ends up on his ass, etc…, so it has been more an annoyance than a traumatic situation. We trust God and his purposes in having us deliver in the hospital.
Kristina is doing well considering the nature of childbirth, and Lucia spent the day with her ‘Aunt’ Mandi and apparently had a great time. Jason is counting his blessings in that, at this point, he has only one wedding that he will have to pay for in his future.
Much thanks to everyone who has been praying for us. The evidence of God’s kindness is amazing.
More info soon…
Here’s some video

We love Kai! We love you guys and are so excited for you. Kristina, you are absolutely beautiful and amazing (okay, you are too Jason). Scarlett would like you to reconsider naming him Lucia, or Goregeous Milky.

[…] Last night at 2:30am October 28th the incredible Kristina Wendorf gave birth to our third child; a boy officially named Otto. Some of you may remember that Team Wendorf Report kicked off a year and a half ago with a post titled ‘Welcome Kai, this is your life!‘ announcing the birth of our second child, first son, Kai Atticus. Otto came pretty much right on time, so we were able to deliver at the birthing center of our beloved midwife Charlotte Geddis. Kristina’s labor wasn’t quick as Kai’s but still faster than Lucia’s. It was ‘intense’ like the other labors but unique from the others as well. […]
