Lyla Marian Hansen



For those of you how did not know that we had our baby or have not heard the birth story, here it is. On May 11th I had a Dr. appt and found out that I had no change still dilated at a 2. He also told me he didn't think I would be having her until next week. I was so bummed out, I was so ready to be not pregnant. That night a few hours after we had fallen asleep, about 11:30pm I wake up to my water breaking! I have never felt this before they have always had to break it for me. We called Ty's parents to come stay with the kids and I stared packing my over night bag. (that was what I was going to do the next day oops.) I bet if you were watching Ty and I you would laugh, we were both so nervous/anxious we were pacing back and forth waiting for his parents. During our 16 minute drive to the hospital ( we timed it before) my contractions finally started and were about 2-3 minutes apart. We got into our room and they had to give me an antibiotic because I had strep B and I was not able to get my epidural for almost 2 hours after being omitted. That's the longest I have ever had to wait and the most pain I ever had to feel with any of my other babies. I don't know how you women do it all with out the meds. I get my epidural and now just wait until I fully dilate. At around 6:00am the Doctor came in and I started pushing. She was born at 6:05! Weighing 7 lbs 9 oz and 19 1/2 in. My biggest and earliest baby! Everything went great and both her and I are doing good. Ty went back to work today so I am figuring out how to be a stay at home mom of 3.



She was very swollen and bruised after birth, they told us it was because she came out so quick.

update.

Here is another update on our family. As some of you may already know the house we were going to buy, the sellers back out on us last minute. So now with a house full of boxes and a baby coming any day now I have been busy trying to get as organized as I can before she comes. We are back to looking for a new house but are in no rush and hope that our perfect house for us is still out there. I'm almost 37 weeks and feeling it. Luke has been quite the helper with the packing when we were doing it and I'm sure he will help a lot when the baby comes too. Brooklyn has successfully completed potty training we could not be more proud.
