Kyson Scott Mackey born May 12, 2011

Here's the story:

Orrin and I woke up early to make it to our appointed time at the hospital to do a version or a c-section. We got to the hospital and they hooked me up to all the stuff they needed to. They tried 4 different times and 2 different nurses to get the IV in and finally did. Not so fun. When my doctor got to the hospital She wanted to do a ultra sound to check his position again. When she did we found out he had flipped! My doctor had told me that if he did flip that I would know. She said that most women feel like the are going to throw up after. I never got that feeling but Sunday night I woke up and thought I was in labor. I was shaking and having lots of contractions but they were very sporadic and just stopped 15 minuets later. So we are guessing that's when he flipped. It was a true answer to prayers from so many people. Thank you everyone for praying for us. We were so excited to find out that news! The doctor was even excited and surprised for us. It was a true blessing. I don't know how I would have been able to take care of the boys being so far from family if I had to have a c-section.

We then decided that since we were there, he was in the right position, and everything else was taken care of that we would just go ahead and induce. It was the longest labor I have had but I was the easiest. We did a lot of TV watching and waiting. It was a great delivery. He was born at 8:20pm that night. He weighed 6lbs 8oz and 19 1/2 inches long.

Soon after we had gotten to the recovery room we decided to hurry up and go to bed so we would be rested for when Kyson woke up. After Orrin feel asleep I started feeling this really horrendous pain. I called for a nurse to come but after 15mins of no one coming, I woke Orrin up to go get someone. The pain was so bad. It was worse than any part of the labor. Come to find out I was hemorrhaging. About 8 different nurses came running to my room. It was really scary. They were trying to stop the bleeding and even had to call the on call doctor at my doctors office to come to the hospital. They even took Kyson to the nursery. It was mostly scary because of how stressed the nurses were. I was freaking out because they were. I finally did stop bleeding after all the medication they gave me. I had lost a lot of blood. I didn't get any sleep that night because of it, so the next morning I was super out of it. They even were talking about giving me a blood transfusion but lucky I was just on the border of needing one that they let me decided. I really didn't want one so they sad that if I could stand on my own by the time it was time to go home that they wouldn't give me one. I'm so glad I didn't needed that.

We love having Kyson in our home. The boys love him so much and help out a lot(expecially Bradley). They love to hold him, kiss him, and tell him that they love him. He has been a really good baby. He likes to sleep during the day and play at night (we hope to fix that soon). He is my smallest baby yet (a whole pound & a half smaller then Wes & Brad) but super cute! As he has gained some weight I think he looks just like the other boys did. We absolulely adore him!
