On Friday, 4/14 at about 9pm Traci starting having contractions. She contracted all night long but the contractions would not pattern out. So on Saturday morning Camron had to go to work. At 11am (14 hours of pre-labor) Traci called the doctor to see what she thought. Dr. Morris told Traci to plan to come to the hospital at 3pm. Traci called Camron so he could get coverage at work. . .Thank you Assistant Chief Ron Smith for covering for Cam.
2:30pm rolled around and off to the hospital they went. Traci and Cam arrived at the hospital at 3pm only to find out that Traci had not dilated any more since her last visit to the doctors. The nursing staff at Liberty Hospital kept Traci for observation for over 3 hours. After walking the halls to try to progress the labor process, Traci was released to continue to labor at home. At 6:30pm, completely and utterly disappointed they headed home to continue the laboring process.
At 2:30am Traci could not take it any longer, the contractions were just more than she could handle and Camron called the doctor. Dr. Morris told Cam to take Traci to the hospital. . .
Bailey and Blaze sent them off, as they headed to the hospital knowing that when Mommy and Daddy returned. . .life would never be the same. It would be better because they were going to bring home a new baby brother.
At around 5am on 4/15 Mommy got her epidural and was finally feeling much better She could sit up in her bed and she was even smiling for the first time in many hours. Oh the power of the epidural!
Mommy gave Daddy his brand new daddy gift. The picture below is Daddy reading the card that Mommy gave to him telling him how grateful she is and how thankful she is to have him and for the fact that Daddy gave Mommy the best and most amazing blessing ever. . .
"Our Bean" MacKinley Scott
After 44 hours of labor and 40 minutes of pushing. . .Daddy meets our little Mighty Mac for the first time. When MacKinley was entering the world he had his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck twice so when he came out he was pretty blue and it was a little scary.
The Bean shows everyone that he is a little fighter and that he has a great set of lungs.
How big is the little guy. . .7lbs 9.5oz, 21.5in long
MacKinley finds great comfort in the security of his Daddy's finger.
MacKinley loves his Daddy.
Daddy sends out the text to our family and friends letting them know that MacKinley Scott White had arrived at 5:21pm on April 15, 2012. The happiest day of Mommy and Daddy's life.
