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.
