Well Here She Is!!! Mckenzie Brooke born on Cinco de Mayo, she was 7 lbs. 4 oz and 19inches long. For about a week before she was born, I drove everyone around me crazy saying that she was going to come any time because all my kids came early, and Shandon was a good 2 weeks early! Well...all my kids were about 5 1/2 lbs full term too! So, at 39 weeks because I was dilated to a 5 for at least 1 full day, and live an hour from the hospital the Dr. had me come in to the hospital Tuesday morning (May 5th) and they started me. They started the pitocin drip about 8:20 am by 9:20 I was only dilated to a 6...but never fear, an epidural,Tommy Boy playing on the TV and by 11:01am we had ourselves a new baby girl! She looks more like Emily as a baby than any of the other kids. Jerid was awesome in the hospital and has been great to help at home too! We have a great family who took care of our other kids, did my laundry, and made us dinner. We have also been totally spoiled by our friends and ward members who have brought in the most delicious dinners!!! Thank-you all! The kids are adjusting pretty well now that we are kind of back into our old schedule. The girls are a big help most of the time, and Shandon...well he sure loves his new sister :) Actually he has done pretty well too. It is very humbling to have another infant in our home. We are so grateful for our many blessings!

CONGRATS! She's darling! And her name is cute too! Glad you're on the mend and that life is getting back to some normalcy!
I can't wait to see her! I live right across the street and haven't even seen her! But I always feel bad barging in on someone who just had a baby. So I'm glad I came to your blog. She's gorgeous!
Yay! What a cutie! Good job mamma!
congrats on the new little one, she's adorable!
Mandie, Congrats she is adorable! I know you don't think that it went fast, but wow it seems like you just announced that you were expecting. Glad things went as planned and you were able to chill with Tommy Boy while you labored, funny girl. Love the name too, can't wait to meet her.
Congratulations! She's beautiful. I love that family picture.
She is so stinking cute!! I went to that link to see more pictures of her and it didn't work. Hope life is adjusting well for you!
Cute new addition to your family!
Yes, she is a doll. But, believe me, she is cutie than that in real life. It's so nice to have a baby around again even if I let her mom and grandpa hold her when she cries. Emily says some things you have to deal with, but Shyanne and I don't believe that's true.
