The Birth Story

It all started around 4:45 am. I woke up with mild contraction. I decided to go downstairs and watch some TV. (Thinking that these were false contraction just like the night before.) As I was siting there they were starting to get more intense. Walking around wasn't helping to much. So around 6 I went upstairs to get in the tub. I woke Blair up when I started the tub he came in and asked if this was it. My response was “I don't know”. We were looking in a book to see if we should go to the hospital. I was started with the boys so I never have the “it time, lets go”. We decided it was real but we weren’t in an hurry to get to the hospital. My contractions were coming about 5 to 2 min apart and were tolerable in pain. At 7:15 the boys woke up, Blair told them there sister was on her way. They were so excited and nervous. We had breakfast, put my bags in the car, fed the animals, then we left for the hospital. While in the car my contraction were getting stronger and closer together. I started hitting my head on the car window to help with the pain. As soon as we got to the hospital the security guard got me a wheel chair just as I went to sit my water broke. That’s when the pain was bad. I get up to labor and delivery knowing I wanted an epidural right a way. The nurse checked me and said I was at a 5. I told her to call for an epidural and my Doctor. Not even 20 minutes later my Dr and the anesthesiologist walk in. My Dr could tell I was in a hole lot of pain. When my Doctor check me and said there was no time for pain meds. it was time to push. Now at this time my boys were in the waiting room with my mother in law. They said they could hear me screaming the hole time. I was grabbing Blair’s hand and biting him to help with my pain. I was so scared to have a baby natural but two pushes and she was out. The pain was defiantly really bad but I made it and after she was born I felt great. I was only in labor for a total of 4 hours, and at the hospital for only 30 minutes before she was born. We made it just in time.
Hailee and Brooke were on our list of favorite names. We were having a hard time on a middle name. The boys have middle names are after people in our family. So the question was, Do we carry on that with our baby girl? One of the name we liked was Hazel. That is Blair Great Grandmas name. So the names we were thinking of were Brooke Hazel or Hailee Brooke. The thing is Brooke has no meaning to our family. We thought she looked more like a Hailee than a Brooke. But Brooke as her middle name was not going with the family names and why give her a middle name just because. We asked our parents what the middle names are of our grandparents. Blair Grandmas name is Delores Faye. Right then we knew that was it. Hailee Faye was perfect for our little girl and she is named after a very wonderful grandma.
