Family Picture

This past week Brett and I both got our hair cut and on Saturday I made him and Kenzie pose for some family pictures. I also took some of just Kenzie for fun. I just love taking pictures of her!

Two Weeks Old Already!

Makenzie was two weeks old this past Wednesday so I decided to take some pictures of her.

Cousins!!!

Rachel was born September 4th at 12:15am. She weighed 7lbs 12oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. Makenzie and Rachel are 9 days apart. They look pretty similiar Makenzie is the one in green and Rachel is in white.

Makenzie's First Bath

The day after we got home my mom helped me give Makenzie her first bath. She liked it for the most part until we took her out of the warm water. Then She let us know whe was not happy with us.

Labor and Delivery

Makenzie came 9 days early. I was supposed to get induced on the 27th ofAugust but Kenzie decided she didn't want to wait one more day. On Wednesday August 26 Brett and I went to the hospital at around 3:30 in the morning because I was having pretty painful contractions. The nurse checked me and I was dialated to a 5 and 90% effaced so they told me I could stay. The first thing a asked for was the epidural. I had to wait for a while to get it because they had to send a blood sample down to a lab and I had to wait for 45 min. until the results came back. Meanwhile they gave me some kind of medicine that made me really drowzy and dulled the pain a little. I didn't get the epidural until around 6:30am. I was so scared to get the epidural but it turned out not to be as bad as I had thought. After that everything was smooth sailing. At 8:11am the doctor came in and broke my water. Then he had to leave and deliver another baby that was a c-section. By 9:30am I was dialated to a 10 and 100% effeaced but the doctor was still in surgery so I had to wait for an hour for him to finish. I was sort of freaking out because I thought that I was going to have the baby without him. The nurse kept saying it was fine and that it lets the baby get lower, but I was still worried. Finally the doctor came in to deliver Makenzie. I pushed through 4 contractions or about 15 to 20 minutes and she came out. She was kind of blue at first but after about a minute she was normal color. She came out yelling and screaming. She has some good lungs, thats for sure. The whole thing was an amazing experience and I am so grateful that she is here with us happy and healthy. Emily came as soon as the baby arrived and took some awesome pictures for me thanks a TON Emily!
