Hailey Hakes is born

 She is so precious and it's definately a challenge being a mom but I love it!  The labor was really interesting, we totally thought that it was going to take a long time and i had my mind set  on an epadural but my water broke at like six am and then I went in to the hospital at like ten and I still wasn't feeling too bad and by the time we got up to our room I was at 4 cm and they said I was ready for my epadural but they had to do lab work and some stuff like that.  Not too long later my contraction started hurting real bad and all of a sudden i felt like i had to push so the nurse checked me and i was at ten cm and the mid wife wasn't even there yet.  So i started pushing and she got there just in time but I didn't get my epidural.  They gave me some type of shot in my back that was suppose to take the edge off but I don't know,  I sure felt alot!  She was born a 12:40 pm so my labor was only 6 1/2 hours.  It was kinda crazy I was planning that I'd have to be camping out of hours and hours but it went so quick that I didn't even have time to think about it!  I moment I saw her I thought, "She is so beautiful!"  But we are glad she's here!  We named her Hailey Aleen Hakes.  She is so cute!  I'll definately have to send you some more pictures!
