Life with 2

Autumn here, mommy of 2 now, and let me tell you, it's so different. Well, first let me fill you in on the details of Miss Hailey.

On Wednesday I layed down to rest when Cheyenne took her nap. The doorbell rang, (later I found out it was those Jehoviah's Witness people) so I got up. When I stood up, my water broke. I called William at work and he came home. It actually worked out good because Cheyenne napped for another hour after that so we were able to get the car packed and everything ready without her under our feet. We dropped her off at mom and dad's and headed to the hospital. We checked in around 3:00 or so and Hailey was born at 9:03. Talk about quick! They started pitocin around 5:30 or so and at 8:15 I was about 6cm. Just a few minutes later I felt the urge to push and the nurse checked me and said 10cm. It was go time!

Hailey was 7lbs 2 oz and 20 1/4" in. She has a head full of brown hair and blue eyes. I spent both nights alone with her in the hopsital so William could try to get a good night's sleep since he would be taking care of Cheyenne Thursday morning and one of us needed to be rested when we came home. Not much luck there. He has some interesting stories for ya, one being he could pulled over on the way home Thursday night because he fell asleep at a stoplight! The officer was very understanding.

If the nurses and survery people would leave you alone you might actually get a little rest, but at least every hour someone is coming on or calling you to ask you questions. It drove me nuts. We're all home now. Cheyenne's adjusting pretty well. She spent Wednesday night with Jenny, Josh and Emma and Thursday night with my mom and dad and did just fine. She came home last night and William and I spent some 1 on 1 time with her while mom and dad had Hailey. We did her bath, stories and bedtime stuff and she slept all night. Today she has been pretty affectionate, giving hugs and kisses all around but then can turn around and be whiney when I can't hold her or pick her up at the very instant, but all in all, she's doing good. To go back and forth between a newborn and 18 month old is so strange! They are so different.
Nursing is going alot better than it did with Chey. My milk did come in last night and it's been a little uncomfortable but for the most part going well, and knock on wood, will continue to. Well, I better get back to my babies. I'll post pics as I can, but I'm staying pretty busy.
