I'm finally taking a moment to post about our Hailey making her grand entrance! On Monday we went to the hospital to be induced - oh, what a beautiful procedure. No pain on the way to the hospital, no pain while putting on the gown, no calling anyone at 2 in the morning. Grandma and Grandpa Rasmussen came down Sunday night and we had Lindsay and Jared and Bethany over for our last grand meal before the baby.Everything went smoothly I endured a few contractions to feel like this labor thing was for real. About an hour into contractions I was at a 4 and got an epidural. An hour later - at a six, 2 minutes later - at a nine, 1 minute later - at a ten! And then..... an hour hanging out at a ten waiting for the doc. Thank goodness for epidurals! At about noon Hailey came out as a xerox copy of Whitney as a baby.
A highlight for me - watching my kids come to the hospital and see Hailey for the first time. Their eyes lit up like Christmas morning! And despite that excitement lasting maybe 2 minutes for Travis, Whitney still begs to hold her all day, she's already a mom in training - way ahead of me!
She is such a cute, good baby. We've all bonded pretty fast. I'm so excited to have her here. In the past I've counted down how long until they are one and can walk. But for now, I am completely content with my newborn. I want to freeze time.
