Baby Haines

So the little guy finally made his appearance.

Hunter Curtis Haines was born 3:26am on 8/20/10. 7 lbs 11 oz and 21inches long.

My doctor stretched me that morning to get things going. Around 5:30 or 6pm my doctor came to do rounds and broke my water. I was trying to go with out an epidural, but 3 hours later I was still at a 6. So I got an epidural and start pumping lots of potosin at 9pm. Around 12:30 ish, I was at a 10! I didn't start pushing for a while later because I was so tired and wanted a little more sleep. When the pushing came, I only pushed for about 45 mins and out flow (literally) Hunter. One push he was at his eyes/nose and the next thing he's completely out!!!!

He is such a mild and mellow boy. But he was scream half way out and didn't stop until Daddy was holding him. They put in on my tummy and he got so quiet and just started looking around. We are sure in love with this little guy. He's so cute and we can't stop looking at him.


After one of my contractions, before I got the epidural. The nurse always came in to check on my after an intense contraction and got me laughing.

Nick and Hunter minutes after delivery!

Hunter just kicking it back later that morning. He's always in that relaxed state.

Finally, we made it into a Post pardum room. It was a full day of births Thursday and Friday that Hunter was with us all but one hour (when he was in the nursery getting cleaned up!). We finally got a room about 12 hours after delivery.

Hunter when we got home from the hospital. Always relaxed!
