Here she is!! Hannah Kristine Blevins was born on Saturday May 16, 2009 at 7:37am. She was 8lbs 13 oz and 21 inches long. She has already changed so much since our first look at her! We are all amazed at how much thick dark hair she has. We have been calling her our little Indian girl!
On Friday night me and Chris decided to go out to dinner since it may be a while until we can go again. All throughout dinner I was having Braxton Hicks about every 5 min. We came home to watch a movie and they continued to come. I was trying not to get excited and was sure that when I stood up and moved they would stop. We went to bed about 9:30 which I was able to fall asleep, but woke up 2 or 3 times by the time 12:30 came around, very achy and sore. At about 12:30 when I woke up I realized my lower back was very sore and that the pain came in a contraction. I got up to see what came of them. I was able to time 3 of them about 4 min apart and they were becoming more and more painful.
At this point I tried to lay back down and rest, Chris woke up to help me through because they just continued to get worse. At 3:30am we decided to go to the hospital. We got there about 4am, got checked in and went up to our room. When they first checked me I was still about 3 centimeters. They said they would check me again in an hour to see if I had progressed and then I would be able to get an epidural. When the hour was up they came in to check me and I had already made it to 6 centimeters!! Yippee I instantly asked for the drugs. The anesthesiologist was not at the hospital, but they called him to come in. After about 20 more minutes they came in and checked me again and to everyones surprise I was already at 8 centimeters!! I was excited, but the bad news came that I wouldn't be able to get an Epidural!!! AHHHHH! Thats what I thought! I asked if there was anything that they could give me, which they could so I did get a painkiller into my IV which did take the edge off a bit. Within another 20 minutes they checked me again and I was at 10 centimeters! The doc came in and we basically began pushing. I was very very blessed because Hannah was as anxious to come as I was to push her out. We pushed for about 10-15 minutes and out she came.
She was beautiful and all the pain just went away by seeing her face!! It is so amazing being a mom and having such a precious little girl to hold in my arms!! We are doing well now at home and are looking forward to everything!!
So OSU donated a whole bunch of baby hats to the hospital for newborns...Hannah did not like wearing a Beaver on her head!! We found a new hat for her to wear!
She loves to snuggle!!!
