All About Hayden

I never gave good updates on the serious of events leading into Hayden Jean welcoming us on Saturday July 16th. Here you go:

• On Friday July 15th, I started getting contractions that afternoon after my doctor stripped my membranes and told me I was 2 cm dilated. The contractions would go on for 1-1 1/2 hours but then stop


• On Saturday July 16th morning, I ended up cleaning the whole house while Matt and Lyla cut the grass...I thought the more I could do, the faster Hayden would be here


• Around 11:30 a.m., I started to get more contractions and they were around 6-8 minutes apart


• Around 3:30 p.m., my contractions were getting more painful and started to be only 3 minutes apart so we decided to call the hospital and they told us to come in right away


• Peggy came over to watch Lyla and we ended up getting to the hospital around 4:30 p.m.


• They checked me and I was 4 cm dilated and were getting things ready for me to have an epidural in 20-30 minutes


• Matt and I walked the hallway and my contractions were getting pretty bad by then...off to the delivery room we went


• Right when the anesthesiologist arrived to give me the epidural, my water broke and Hayden wanted to come ASAP


• My doctor wasn't even there yet and they told me to hold off pushing...not an easy task when your contractions are making you push


• The nurse was getting ready to deliver right before my doctor walked in


• I delivered Hayden Jean at 5:58 p.m. with no drugs and I was my doctor's fastest delivery! I'm so glad it was a quick delivery!

Uncle Brett even came to meet Hayden! He was in MN for a couple days for work and was able to make it down to see us. It was a pleasant surprise.
