Announcing Hailey Sophia

Don't judge, this was right after and I felt horrible. My blood pressure was 50 over 20.

Before labor began, I looked happy.

Hailey the day after. She is so cute.

She is finally here!!! Hailey was born on Wednesday the 18th at 2:19 pm. She weighed 7lbs 14oz and she was 19 inches long. This was the weirdest delivery for me. My mom didn't blog about it, I guess she wanted me to give all the lovely details. Everything really was going fine, but when I received the epidural he had to do it twice because he went too far the first time. When he gave me the meds I did notice that I was numb all the way up to my chest but it was bearable. After a little while it wore off and I started feeling the contractions just on one side. So they called him back in and he gave me another dose. He must have given me a lot because right away I noticed there was something not right. I was numb on the right side of my body all the way up to my right eye. Nothing worked on the whole right side of my body. The worst part was that I felt like I couldn't breath and my nose swelled shut. So I had to have an oxygen mask and breath through my mouth for pushing. If this was not enough, Hailey decided to come out face up. I still only pushed about 10 minutes before she was out. The Dr. just kept saying it was a good thing she was my fourth so that I was able to still deliver her quickly. But my legs would not work until late into the morning hours of the next day. I didn't know it at the time, but I guess it really scared my mom. But she kept her cool really well the whole time. But the best part was Hailey herself. What a wonderful baby and she is so sweet. She does look like Corey though. We are really blessed that everything went well. You can also see more pictures at http://www.bettyrollins.blogspot.com/
