New Addition






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!
