It was worth it!!!

2008-11-09T18:51:00.000-08:00

Here's the story..

Michelle had pre labor contractions all weekend but they were minor. About 9pm November 3 she got the big ones. We waited about an hour later to call the doctor because they were 7 minutes apart. We live 30 min away so we decided to go a head and getto the hospital.

Luckily we were going to the hospital anyways because the way Lance was speeding and running red lights it was amazing we got their without injury.

When we got their we didn't think they would send us home so we brought up all of our bags & pillows. "I was checking in whether they liked it or not!" It looked as if we were moving in for good with all of the stuff we brought. :)

Now remember this is my first pregnancy and the nurse asks me. "On a scale from 1-10 how would you rate the intensity of your contractions." In my mind I am thinking (COMPARED TO WHAT..Well they are pretty bad...Are they going to get worse...If I tell her a 5 is she going to send me home?) So I say, "well, right now it's about a 12!!!!"

I labored til about 6 am and I didn't have a break in my contractions. I would have 2 strong ones back to back and then a long minor one & then bam 2 strongs ones again. So the nurse finally talked me into taking some stadol. About 30 secs later that nurse was my new best friend :) I was able to sleep for a few hours and then the stadol wore off. I finally consented to an epidural but the anesthesiologist was in a C - section. I was dialated about 7 1/2 when she finally got there. The epidural only worked on my left side so they tried again. By then I was 8 centimeters and I felt like pushing. So they pushed the medicine through and put me on my right side but it still didn't numb me completely.

We pushed for an hour and Hannah was stuck. My doctor was at another hospital and on his way. Then he was here but in a C section so we pushed for another hour so she would stay where she was.

Finally he gave me 3 options. Continue pushing... "Umm No!!!" use a vacuum or have a c-section." Well I had already torn so healing from that and a c-section would not be good so we decided to clean house (the vacuum) :) Maybe, Maybe 30 sec later & one strong push and Hannah was here!!!!!

Words can not describe the waves of emotions that took place from that moment on. I immediately held her and was infatuated with my new baby girl. Only God could have created this beautiful creature and she was ours.

They cleaned her and took her to the scale... I heard from the nurses... my guess is 8 4... oh she's more than that... " 9lbs 1 oz!!!!" How did this just come out of her????

Well I tore 3 1/2 degrees (almost all the way) and into the muscle on the left side.

All of a sudden I was very acutely aware that my epidural only worked on one side because I felt every stitch. That hurt worse than everything else. But it only got worse from there.

I had lost a lot of blood so when they had me get up and go to the bathroom a few hours later I passed out on & off for about 4 minutes. Lance was out getting food & came in at the end of it. We thought that was the end of it but no. I continued to pass out everytime I would get up and they didn't want to move me over to post pardum with less staff until I had stopped.

I continually asked for some pain medicine but all they would give me was ibuprofen unless they spoke to the doctor so I politely said, "GET THE DOCTOR!!!"

Finally we got over to our room late that night and we got the Suite!!! It's like 3 times bigger than the regular rooms.

Then we got the nurse from hell. She made me get up and try to go to the bathroom on my own. So far so good I didn't pass out but I couldn't go to the bathroom because I was so swollen. So she said she had to put in a catheter. I couldn't lift my bottom or move for her because I was shaking so bad from her trying to put the catheter in and the other nurses tried to tell her but her response was " I don't want to have to change her sheets so she needs to put this under her." Lance was not happy.

4 nurses later & a lot of screaming they finally were able to get it in. My swelling from pushing and how large Hannah was caused a lot of problems for them.

After all of that the nurse said o.k. I will go get some pain medicine for you. "Oh really, well thank you, I wouldn't want to inconvenience you in any way." (Sorry I wasn't in a good mood then.)

Everything after that was on the up & up. The nurse the next day was really good and she said it was her mission to get me out of bed without passing out and going to the bathroom without the catheter in. Her shift ended at 7pm the next day and at 6:45pm I went to the bathroom and almost made it with out passing out.

They took some blood to see if I needed a transfusion. I guess I didn't need one bc they never came back with the news. By Thursday the 6th I was able to go to the bathroom without help & I finally could take a shower. Friday night about 8pm they let us go home.

Lance got thrown into being my nurse & diaper duty real quick with all of my drama. He did poopy diapers and all! But, all of it was worth it!!!!

Going Home from Hospital

2008-11-07T19:56:00.000-08:00

Going Home Outfit

Her outfit was a premie outfit because I didn't want her clothes to look like they were way to big. We did not have that problem. This is the only time she will be able to where this.

She's ours & we can take her home now!!!

My first car ride... I slept most of the way...

then 5 min from the house I got really hungry !!!

We were going to pic up a prescription on the way

but Lance had to drop of Michelle & Hannah

so Hannah could eat. Then he went

back & got the prescriptions.

Hannah Brooke 3 days old

2008-11-06T09:48:00.000-08:00

I am starting to get some energy back. I was able to get out of bed today with out fainting and I took a shower!!!! I feel like a new women.

I can't believe how wonderful it is to be a parent.

We never new we could love something so much.

Hannah is soooo good! She doesn't fuss at all!

She starts sucking when she's hungry and she eats about every 2 hours.

We are working on getting her jaw open enough and her tongue

to stick out farther so she will latch on better without hurting mommy.

Peeka boo! See my toes :)

Hannah's Arrival

2008-11-04T23:40:00.000-08:00

Hannah Brooke Williams came into the world Tuesday, November 4th @ 12:49 p.m. she wieghed a wopping 9 lbs and 1 oz. she was 201/2 inches long. She has a full head of dark hair.

Final spot for chest of drawers, toy box, changing table, book shelf and crib. We rearranged everything from the last pics.

Hannah takes after her mother already.

"Does she really need this many clothes!" -Lance

"Yes she does, you always need options :)." - Michelle

Where Hannah will be sleeping and spending most of her time.

Her pack 'n' play!!!

Hannah's view from her pack n play :)

We got a new recliner to rock her in! You can't have a baby with out something to rock her in. I'm sure her Mee Maw and Nana will be glad to do this as much as needed. :)

So after we bought the recliner Michelle's friend Erica gave us a glider rocker!!! So we put this one in our room. This will be handy for all of those late nights.

How does that feel?

2008-09-25T06:24:00.001-07:00

Here is Lance at our child birth class getting to put on the empathy belly. Now he gets to see how it feels, lol. Enjoy

Pictures of Hannah

2008-09-11T14:52:00.000-07:00

Here are pictures of our baby girl, Hannah. They are so cute. Her hand and arms are what you see by her face, she was rubbing her eye. While we were getting these done, the coolest thing happened, we saw her yawn and stick her tongue out. She kept licking her hand. We can't wait to meet her and love on her and all the gooey stuff!

Her furniture came!!!

2008-06-28T09:09:00.000-07:00

Hannah's daddy did a good job putting her furniture together. This is Brandon he is one of our youth counselors. He let us use his truck to go pick it up from the store.

Brandon also did a good job of holding up this rail :)

"I can't wait to be able to look in here and just stair at her" - Lance

No More Sickness, thanks to Zofran!!!

2008-06-20T07:17:00.000-07:00

20 weeks

So far I have lost 12 lbs. I get sick in the morning on the way to work I have to pull over a few times. My students during 1st & 2nd period have finally gotten used to me running out in the hall with the trash can. What's weird is I get no warning. I don't get light headed or dizzy. I don't break into a sweat. It just starts coming.

21 weeks

The Dr put me on Zofran to help with getting sick all of the time. This medicine is a God send!!! As long as I have my meds I'm good :)

30 weeks

Morning Sickness? LOL All day sickness!!!!

2008-05-17T08:00:00.000-07:00

16 weeks (last week of 1st trimester)

So much for not feeling pregnant. Morning sickness does not mean just getting a little nausea. Morning sickness is all day sickness & you actually get sick!!!! And, I am not gaining weight I am losing weight.

Ok, so tonight whas my 5th dream of having twins. Could their be two in there?

17 weeks

Sonogram - We had our first sonogram today to see how our future son or daughter to be is doing. The nurse started taking measurements and showing us the heart, kidneys & spine. It was amazing to see this living baby growing inside of me. It was amazing!!! Offcourse we had no clue what we were looking at until she told us but it was still cool. So she took a bunch of measurements and then stops and explains to us what we were looking at & said "this means it is a GIRL"!!!! "A girl!!!" Offcourse if you know me at all, I wanted a boy, let's just be honest. Soo.. the next thing I said was.... "are you sure?" :) & the nurse said, "Absolutely, I don't tell patience that I am 99% sure if I have any kind of doubt that it could be anything else, and I am 99% sure it is a girl."

Then we continued on with the sonogram and the nurse showed us her profile... and then her belly... and we saw her foot... and she started kicking and waving her arms.... and my breath was taken away. She is just the most beautiful thing ever created. I haven't even met this precious baby girl and I have more love for her than I could ever imagine.

I can't imagine not having anything but a girl!!!!

Adventures of Registering - I took the day off today for our sonogram and after we found out we were so excited so we went to Baby's R Us to register. Their are so many cute things that she just has to have we had a blast for 3 hours with our little gun picking out everything that she would need, want or maybe even think of having.

Then we get to the wall of bottles, nipples, pumps & passies all in 5 different brands, forms, styles and colors and we were officially over whelmed. So we decided to skip this part....

Then we get to car seats; infant car seats, boster car seat, convertible seats, travel systems, mid-size strollers, full-size strollers, lightweight strollers, jogger strollers. Oh my word, I thought there was just a stroller and car seat and you just pick what color you want. So we skipped this part....

So evidently I need to go home and do some research on what we actually need and what everything is used for because their is just too much to choose from.

We are having a BABY!!!!

2008-04-22T07:44:00.000-07:00

We found out today, that we are going to have a baby!

This weekend I thought I was getting a cold and I stayed home from work yesterday. I woke up and thought "I'm not sick, I bet I'm pregnant"! Duh!! So I took a test, actually a few of them because I couldn't believe it, and then I went and showed Lance. He was making breakfast for us and he told me that he thought that yesterday but didn't want to get my hopes up.It seems serial. I don't think we are going to be the type to wait to tell people. Both of us are too excited. I can't keep from smiling, I'm going to be a mom!!!!

8 weeks -

So far pregnancy is easy. I don't feel pregnant!

Is going to BabiesRus twice a week to much?

I THINK NOT!!!!

So Lance's new favorite store is BabiesRus. It's so much fun for us to think of if it is going to be a boy or a girl and what it is going to like and dislike. How the room is going to be decorated, what kind of stroller & car seat it will look good in.

13 weeks

So for the past 5 weeks I have been kind of dissapointed because I'm pregnant but I don't feel like it. I have taken nearly 10 tests just to make sure it stuck. I know that sounds dumb but I haven't had morning sickness, I'm not tired, smells don't bother me, I haven't had any symtoms of being pregnant.

Oh I spoke too soon. On my way to work this morning I ate my usual banana & thought I was going to have to pull over. I thought maybe I took too big of a bite or something and tried to take another bite & as soon as I got a wif of it.... well you can imagine what happened next.

Why bananas? I love bananas!!! Well, I guess I'm pregnant now :)
