Five years ago today...Mackenzie Kristen Watson was born. She was 20.25 inches long and weighed 7 lb 0 oz and arrived at 2:29pm after a very complicated delivery, of which I'll spare you the details. In summary, 16 1/2 hrs labor at the hospital, meconium present, an intrauterine flush began immediately after the amount of meconium realized, shoulder dystocia, two different types of vacuums, a baby who did not cry upon delivery, a mommy and daddy who DID cry at the silence which seemed to last forever...an answer to prayer: a healthy baby girl Praise the Lord for his blessings and mercy.

Trying to get her more pink and less purple! He, he.

Trying to get her more pink and less purple! He, he.What a day! Our lives were changed forever, and we wouldn't want it any other way. We love you, precious Mackenzie. We are proud of you. I just can't believe you're in Kindergarten as I type this post today. The early years have gone by too quickly. (See the previous post for this year's Birthday Info!)
Oh, yeah. Mackenzie now weighs 37 lbs and is 43 inches tall! She has grown so much in the past five years.

I love that second picture in this post. That sweet little face hasn't changed much at all! It's just gotten a little bigger. What a sweet baby she was and what a beautiful young lady she is becoming! Lauren had some meconium present as well and I didn't get to hold her for what seemed like forever! But thankfully she cried right away, so we weren't too worried.
I loved seeing Mackenzie's baby pictures. Happy birthday sweet girl!
Can that really have been five years ago already? Wow! You all look younger in the pictures...not that you look old at all now! Far from it! :) I remember visiting you at the hospital and how relieved you were to have that part of it behind you...
Great post, April!
Happy 5th Birthday, Mackenzie!! We wanted to call you today, but then realized it was already too late for yall on a school night.
So hard to believe our girls are five!
