Welcome to the World Mackenzie Quinn!

Mackenzie Quinn Mason was born February 27th 2014 at 12:59am

She was 7 Pounds, 2 Ounces

20.5 Inches Long

Doctor Deibel and Nurse Elizabeth (who strangely enough were second cousins)

I was only in active labor for 3 hours, the last hour I was 9.5cm dilated. We got to the hospital and were told I was 3 cm dilated and not in "active labor" so they made me walk around the hospital hallways to get things going, after about 20 minutes I couldn't walk anymore and the contractions had gone from 8 minutes apart to 3 minutes. They checked me and said I was ready to call the epidural man, he came in about 25 minutes later (after all the blood work had come back and I had been given enough fluid so that my pressure wouldn't bottom out when given the epidural. My first check after the epidural (a few minutes later) I had gone from 3 cm to 9.5cm. It took a little bit of time to get to 10 because my water hadn't broken. They ended up breaking my water because her heart rate was fluctuating and after the doctor warned me if I had to push too long he would have to use the vacuum I ended up pushing her out in half a push. Except for a few bad moments the labor was short and sweet and at the end of the day we have a healthy baby girl!
