Mackenzie is HERE!!!

Mackenzie Ryan Stansifer was born at 7:45pm. She measures 19in and 7 lbs. 11 oz. Sally woke me up this morning around 9:30 saying she was having contractions. I timed them and they were 7 minutes apart. We waited until 11am when they were 5 minutes apart and went to the hospital. They got the epidural in around 12 noon and Sally started feeling good! Haha. She kept dilating about a cm/hour until about 5pm. They checked her again and she was 10cm...OK, time to push! She pushed for 2 and a half hours until the doc could get her hands on her and guide her out. Sally was a champ the whole time. Never complained and pushed as hard as she could. Finally, at 7:45, baby Mack was out and being cleaned off. I was able to watch the whole thing and cut the cord at the end. Sally is pretty tired now and taking a nap. I figured I'd run home and let Josie out and update the blog as well. So, here are some pictures of the day and I'll have a lot more when we get home from the hospital. We're expected to be released on Tuesday. Also, click on the pictures page for many more! Happy Father's Day!
