One Week Old

Hannah is a week old today, I can't believe how fast the past week has gone. We have started to adjust very well. Kris and I have been learning the delicate balance of two kids and the attention needed by the older one when the little one gets all the attention. Lydia is doing well, she loves her baby sister and as I type this she is reading her books!

We had Hannah's one week appointment yesterday. Monday she left the hospital at 7lbs 2oz and yesterday she was 7lb 13oz so I guess Mommy's milk is doing its job, which makes me happy. She loves to sleep which is nice and loves to eat, she has started to be more alert about 30 minutes at a time and when she is she is open eyed and looks at the lights.

So I told you all I would give you the labor story so here it goes:
I was set to be delivering Hannah at noon on the 10th via C-section well Thursday Mom and I went shopping and all the sudden I felt a drop in my lower area and had to come home (Hannah dropped and I could barely walk) that evening I started contractions but didn't know that is what they were until about midnight. This whole time I was on my own as Kris was with a very sick Lydia in her room so about 3:30 I woke Kris up and told him my contractions where about 7 to 9 minutes apart and where making me cry so I called the Dr and was told to get to the hospital since I had to have a C-Section. So we arrived at the hospital at 5 and the front desk lady said your here for a noon surgery and looked at me like I was nuts and I said no in labor! So I was placed on monitors and soon it was decided I would be having a baby girl in the next hour. I was prepped and wheeled back to the OR and at 6:58am Hannah Jean arrived 7lbs 11oz and 21inches long. She had a full head of black hair and was screaming! She screamed for the first 90 minutes of her life and then settled down into the quiet little baby she has been since. So Hannah was born on what we picked for a birthday just a few hours before we thought.

We had Lydia's preschool program on Thursday the 9th, she was adorable my camera wasn't working that well but here are a few photos of it that I did get.

We are truely bless with two beautiful girls and wonderful help from my Mom and Dad! Christmas will be wonderful this year, we just got our present a few weeks early!
