The Story of Mackenzie Lynn

I thought that since I haven't done this, I would try and give you as much as I can possibly remember of Mackenzie's story.

The year she was born, we were living in Clearwater Florida. Ryan and I had gotten married in October a few months before she was born. I was unaware of being pregnant due to some circumstances, first, I had my period every month, second, I didn't gain weight, and third, I didn't feel her move and the doc said that she was very active probably but that because I was heavy, I probably wouldn't feel her move.

I worked the day before she was born at the nursing home and lifted someone I should have used a mechanical lift with, but we always lifted her manually because she was skin tear prone. After work, Ryan and I went to an arena footbal game, I figure that walking all the steps caused labor to set in. I was up and down all night. The next morning, he said that's it we are going to Mom's to get in the hot tub, that will make your back feel better. Keep in mind the water was like 102 degrees in there. We got in and in a few minutes I could feel her head crowning. We rushed to the hospital where they spent another 45 minutes trying to figure out whether I was having a baby or not. Finally when we got in a room, the doc said to put me on a heart monitor, that would tell them. As soon as i laid on the bed, she came flying out.

The doc came in and did what he does and they took Mackenzie from us. She didn't come back in the room for hours. Then when she finally did, we didn't let her out of our sight.

She was born on Saturday, and they didn't let me go home til Tuesday. When they finally did release me, we went to Carol's house. My sister in law and her two girls were there. Riley immediately dubbed the baby "Kenzie" and it stuck. She has been the best surprise we could ever get!

She has grown up so fast that it is almost unreal!

I will continue to update you on her from the age she is now on out!

We love you so much Kenzie! You will always be Mommy and Daddy's Baby Girl!

EDIT: THANK YOU YAYA! YES I DID FORGET TO ADD THAT RYAN'S MOM, WHO KENZIE CALLS YAYA WAS AT THE END OF THE BED WHEN KENZIE POPPED OUT AT HER. I BASICALLY DECIDED THAT CAROL DELIVERED HER. SO YES YAYA, YOU WERE THE FIRST TO SEE HER! SORRY ABOUT FORGETTING THAT PART! LOVE YOU!

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems. Using the topic "Build with Me," we will read stories about building things and working together to solve problems.

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
