He's FINALLY here!!!

Hayden James Enger arrived on Monday, May 19th, 2008 at 3:10pm in the Lisbon Hospital. I woke up that morning feeling good - no signs of labor - and about 9:30am I started having contractions. They weren't very strong or even consistent. Around noon I decided to start keeping track of them. They were about 15-20 minutes apart, so I called Meritcare at 1pm and they told me to wait another hour or so to see how things went. At 1:3opm I called Jason at work and told him he probably better come home since my contractions were getting a little stronger (but still nothing too bad) and a little closer together. At about 2pm I was laying in bed and started having another contraction and my water broke. I called Meritcare again to let them know and then told me to stop at the hospital in Lisbon first just to be safe. Good thing we did, because we walked in the Emergency Room in Lisbon at around 2:20pm and Hayden was born at 3:10pm. The doctor checked things out and within about 15 minutes time we went from going in the ambulance, then the doctor going with in the ambulance to delivering the baby right then and there. It was a very quick labor - everyone keeps telling me how lucky I am and that I should have about 10 more. I think we will wait to discuss more children for another year or 2. :)
Hayden is absolutely perfect and such a great baby. We are truly blessed!!!
And of course - 2 other loves of my life! John and Lucy! John came to meet his new cousin over the weekend and here is a picture of the two of them looking out the window. How cute are they? John will be 1 next week! The year has flown by! I can't believe it! He is such a good boy, but when he is hungry or wants something he is very impatient and has a VERY annoying grunt to let his mom know he wants it NOW! I just hope he doesn't do that when he 15! :)
