Ready or Not, Here She Comes!

Literally, ready or not! Jonny and I went to the hospital Wednesday afternoon to have the baby checked because I hadnt been able to feel her move very well that morning and I couldnt count her movements because of what I thought were just severe Braxton Hicks contractions because maybe I hadnt drank enough water that day. When we got there we were VERY surprised to find out I was in labor, dialated to a 4 and almost fully effaced! The nurse left the room to call my Dr/Uncle and we just looked at eachother with HOLY CRAP looks on our faces!

I know not the best pic of me ever but here we are waiting and hey I'm in labor, I dont have to look awesome! Things went really well. We got to the hospital around 3ish and Hailey Nicole was born by 10:20 pm. Jonny did really well despite how nervous he has always talked about being and was very supportive for me. There isnt much else to tell. I am just going to post a bunch of pics so we can remember.
Already looking back at these pictures it is amazing to me how different they look within the first day or two!

Love at First Sight!


Such a proud Daddy!



Thanks Great-Uncle Jim!


This is one of my absolute favorite pictures!

I finally got a chance to hold her too. One of our first family pictures!


We are a happy family!
