Well, I guess it's time for a new blog post . . . because we have a new addition to our family!!! Baby Makenzie arrived on Friday, May 14 2010 at 1:47pm weighing 8 lb 6 oz and 20.5 inches long. I went into the hospital at 5am to begin admissions and to be induced. Around 8am they broke my water and gave me the epidural. I went from 3cm to 8cm dilated in an hour at one point! We had to wait for Makenzie to turn a little as she was kind of sideways but once she got turned and it was time to "push" - we got down to business. Ha Ha. I pushed 4 times for about 5 minutes total and our miracle happened! It's just beyond words - the feeling you instantly have - the overwhelming love you can have for another person in a second.
We are head over heels in love with her! And Mariah is doing GREAT! She loves her so much and is so sweet with her. She told her she was her best friend! Brought tears to my eyes of course. Makenzie is a pretty mellow baby so far which is awesome. And she is doing great eating and sleeping, etc.
Thanks so much to all of you for your thoughts, prayers and congrats! We sincerely appreciate each and every one of you! We are blessed beyond words with two wonderful little girls, not to mention our amazing circle of family and friends! Let us know if you want to come see her!
Oh - and a very special thanks to Grandma Snare for coming from Florida, Grandma Rosie & Papaw David for coming from NC, Aunt Megan for being there and "Aunt" Michelle for taking care of Mariah and bringing her to meet her Baby Sister for the first time!
