Something.

Well somehow Mackenzie guessed the correct day that she would deliver on. We are just waiting to see how close she came to the weight and length

We went to the gym last night to exercise and Mackenzie to walk and after about, 40 Min's she said she didn't feel good. So we left went to get something to eat Chipotle, a Brandon Family staple. Then at about 8pm Mackenzie said she felt some cramping, and she wanted to go for a walk, cause it felt better when she walked around. So we headed up to Target and Blockbuster to change our Movie, and well we were just headed to Blockbuster, but Mackenzie had to use the facilities before and after the movie store. Target always comes in handy. By the time we got back home at about 9:30 pm Mackenzie was still having the cramps and said she may have felt a contraction or two. We started timing them they were about 20 seconds long and 5 minutes apart. She said they weren't to bad though. We tried to go to sleep just in case we would have to get up to go to the Hospital early in the morning. That didn't last long however, after like 2 hours of timing, and Mackenzie bending over while she contracted, we were out of bed and watching the food network. I asked Mackenzie if she wanted to go in to the hospital, because they were long and regular, but she didn't think she was in active labor as they weren't that painful at all. Once they got to 3 minutes apart for about 40 seconds I said we better get up there. So we came in and they inspected her and said yes she was in active labor, and that she was already dilated 5 Cm's.

So we have been here for 7 hours now and Mackenzie is about to start pushing, at about 12pm, she is 10 Cm's but the doctor wants to let the baby come down more, before we start pushing to conserve energy, and since she got an epidural a few hours ago she is not in any pain. We are excited and of course nervous, we'll hopefully have him out in a couple of hours. And yes lots of pictures.
