Mackenzie Grace

Aaron and I had talked about having more children but just did not feel like it was the time yet. Kylie was only 2 and we were just enjoying watching her grow and all the different milestones she was accomplishing. Right before we left for Christmas vacation 08' to go to Aaron's familie's in Goldsboro, I had that all too familiar feeling in my gut that I might be expecting. So without Aaron knowing, I took a test an it came back negative. So I figured that I was just getting too stressed and it would all be fine. We enjoyed Christmas and I still was wondering what was going on with me. The plan for this Christmas was that my family would meet me at my house to enjoy Christmas after we got back from Goldsboro. The day we returned home, I was conviced that something was not right. Everyone was in the kitchen getting supper ready and so I slipped out and did another test. It was quickly apparent that I was expecting again! I could not believe it! I began banging on the wall and yelling for Aaron to come in our bedroom and all I could do was hand him the test. We just stared at each other and he tried to reassure me that it was going to be alright. I stuck the test in my pocket and joined my family in the kitchen. Before I knew what i was doing, I had flashed it out of my pocket and buried my face in my dad's chest. Needless to say, everyone was thrilled! Because of my emergency C-section with Kylie, I was worried that it was going to be mandatory for another one. My doctor, however, said that he would allow me to try to have her naturally if thats what I really wanted. I said, "YES!" I later found out that he never thought I'd actually last. :) He didn't know my will power! lol! She was due September 2, but at about 24 weeks, I began to dialiate and was put on partial bedrest. During my pregnancy with her, we also moved into a new house, and Aaron was in the process of building a cabin, so there was alot going on. I went into labor by myself at 37 1/2 weeks. Kenzie Grace was born on August 21,2009 at around midnight. It was the most incredible thing I've ever experienced. It was a special moment for Me, Aaron, and my mom that I will never forget. God is so good!
