Giving Birth to McKenzie Rae

I found out that I was pregnant on January 15, 2013. When I read that little test that said positive, I didn't know quite what to think about it. All I knew was that I was feeling all kinds of emotion and that my life was about to change. My pregnancy was probably the easiest that I know of. I never got sick, never had pains, never had anything that a typical woman does when she is pregnant. I was pregnant all summer long and that was the worst thing ever. I was always so miserable because I was huge and I didn't want anyone to bother me. On Wednesday, September 18th I went to what I hoped would finally be my last check up appointment before I had the baby. At my appointment, my doctor said that he was going to induce me on Friday. I went in at 7 Friday morning to be induced and I couldn't express my feelings. The kept increasing my pitocin because I was not feeling anything and I was not progressing at all. Once I started to progress, I progressed really fast. I was only dilated to a 1 until 11 Friday night. By 2 o'clock Saturday morning, I was ready to push. Pushing took a lot of work out of me and I almost passed out twice, but once the doctor laid the precious baby on my chest, I couldn't have been more in love.
