Hailey's birthday





Hailey Marie Christiansen was born on September 10th 2008 at 12:02 pm. She weighed 7lbs 3oz and was 20 3/4 inches long. We went in for a c-section at 10am in the morning and got rolled in to surgery at about 11:30. We were in the hospital for only two days and that was a surprise. We thought that we would be there until Saturday cause Thursday I was not doing go at all. The night that Hailey was born i did not get any sleep at all! So early Thursday morning I was not feeling good and was very itchy from the morphine. So I asked the nurse to get me something for the itchiness and something to help me sleep and she did. Well that was not a good idea. I was out all day Thursday! And Josh had to do everything with Hailey. Like he had to feed her so he would pop her on my boob and try to feed her while I was asleep. Yeah I could not even wake up to feed my own baby. Josh would wake me up and feed me too. I did not even wake up for my visitors. Josh was so tired cause he didn't get any sleep either for like two days. I finally came around about 11:30pm Thursday night and was back to normal. Friday I was up and walking around and the doctor said that we could go home. My parents are here staying for a week and helping out with Lexi while we were in the hospital. That was a blessing. Lexi and my parents had a blast hanging out together. Lexi did not even mind that we weren't there. She loves her grandparents! Thanks mom and dad for all your help! We love you so much! We are all home and happy and healthy.
