Just the 3 of Us: January 2012

Back in November I jokingly asked my friend Stacy if I could be in the delivery room. To my surprise she said sure if you want to film it for us. I said of course!! Her due date was at the end of January so I was so excited to get to be in there with her & her husband. During one of her appointments they found out that the baby was breach of course I was not happy. At the next appointment she had turned & it was a go for me to be there. At the beginning of the month Stacy's doctor didn't think she would make it to her induction date of the 18th. I was pretty bummed that I wouldn't be there. If she were to go in on her own before that I probably wouldn't have been able to get off of work. My bosses wife had just had her baby on Jan 1st & was going to be off for 2 weeks! That was really making be nervous.

Stacy & her husband Chris went in last nite at 7pm. They started her on cervadil at 9pm. I had my alarm set for 5am so I could shower & be ready to leave by 6. Well to my surprise she sent me a text at 4:36am & was at 5-6 cm. I jumped out of bed & told her I would get ready. I brushed my teeth, started my car & started packing by stuff to take with me. I go back to check my phone at 4:40 & I have another text from her. It says "Can u come up asap. Chris passed out & hit his head." By this time I am freaking out!! I am out the door by 4:47. Running stop lights & speeding like a mad woman trying to get to the Women's Hospital which should be a 30 min drive but only took me 20. Thank goodness I was praying the entire way. Chris got back to the room by 6 so that way I didn't have to play the part of coach.

This wonderful little girl Hadley Lynn was born at 8:49am 21 in 7lbs 6oz & a head full of dark hair! Seeing a baby being born was a totally awesome experience. I'm so glad they let me be apart of their special day! I am a great videographer so who wants me to video their birth!!! Hahaha!
