Mighty Mac

  Mighty Mac My husband James and I had been praying for a baby and when we found out this past summer that I was pregnant we were so happy. I had friends who were pregnant and some who had had miscarriages, so we were just happy and thankful. At eight weeks we did a gender test and found out our baby was a boy. James told me on one of our first dates, “If we have a baby boy together, he will be James Victor McDade III. He’ll be Mac.” His grandfather went by Mac in his older age and we thought it would be sweet if our baby was Mac too. At twenty weeks it all started to hit me that this was real. We had a scan that day and everything was great. We could even see his cute little nose.  Four weeks later, the day before Thanksgiving, I went to the bathroom and immediately knew I was in labor. I’d never been in labor before, but I knew! We went to our local hospital and found I was already four centimeters dilated. They said you can either labor him out or we can transfer you to Greenville,
