Introducing Hadley Renae

After my doctors appointment on Wednesday, it was decided that my c-section would be moved up to Sunday the 6th.  As much as I thought it would be fun to have her on the 10th, the 6th sounded pretty good too.  I wanted to make sure Dr. Adams would deliver so moving up the date would hopefully guarantee she didn't come on her own.

We checked in at 7 am on Sunday morning with plans for a c-section at 9 am.  Everything went great on our end and was running right on time.  I had blood drawn, a few bags of IV's in me, and we were good to go.  Unfortunately a few other mom at the hospital were not having as easy of a day.  We got bumped because of emergency c-sections.

At 10:40 we were good to head back.  Jason had to wait outside the OR while they gave me a spinal and got me all prepped for surgery.  Once they were good they brought Jason, told me it was time to have a birthday party, and got going.  Hadley came out at 11:03 am with a love for "accessories".  The umbilical cord was around her neck and there was a true knot it and peeing on the doctor.  The doctor said we are very blessed that one or both of those things did not cause problems.

Jason then stayed with her to clean her up, we got a few photos together and then they took her off the the nursery for a bath, measurements, and for the grandparents and Brayden to meet her.  Being Brayden was so big, I was sure that she was going to be well into the 8 lbs.  However, much to everyones surprise she was only 7 lbs 14 oz and a tall 21 inches.

Jason then came back to recovery were we got to bond and was soon taken to our room and greeted by my favorite little buddy and out parents.  It was a great day and we have been blessed with another beautiful baby.  We praise the Lord for such a beautiful day and blessing.  Now we just enjoy our new little one and hope to go home on Tuesday.

Picture Time!!!

 Zachy was so excited to meet Hadley, and brought her a bunny!

 Brayden wanted to bring Hadley a happy birthday cake, and of course he sang to her.  It was very precious.  I love those 2!

It has been a long night.  She has been very alert and hungry,  I don't mind, I am happy to just look at her and feed her.  Maybe, I will get a nap in later.  Otherwise, we can sleep when we are dead, right?! :-)
