Welcome Hailey Elizabeth Lumsden!!!

On Thursday, December 12, 2013, we checked in at Providence Pavilion for Women and Children for our 5:30am induction.  At this point I was 5 days late (just like her big sister Cammy was) and about 3.5cm dilated already (completely different from big sister Cammy, as I had not dilated at all with her by induction day).  

Waiting for things to get moving

By 7:30am we were hooked up to the baby monitors, got my IV put in and started the Pitocin.  By about 9:30am contractions started to become a little bit stronger and a little bit more painful.  By about noon I was feeling urges to push and sure enough in the span of an hour I had gone from 5cm to 10cm and it was go time!

About 30 mins of intense pushing and no epidural and our newest little daughter Hailey Elizabeth Lumsden was born at 1:15pm.  She looked just like her big sister did when she was born except for one thing...BROWN HAIR!!!  As every parent probably wonders "how can I love someone else as much as my first born?", we for sure fell in love with this baby girl just as much.

Welcome to the world Hailey!

Such a precious little girl

By 5ish that same day our parents came over to meet their newest granddaughter and big sister Cammy was finally able to meet her "sissy" that we have talked about for the past 9 months.  It was such a great feeling to have our new family of 4 all together in one room!

And a short 24 hours later we were discharged from the hospital and sent on our way home to begin our new life adventure as a family of FOUR!!!

All dressed and ready to go home!!!

It might be a new kind of crazy in our house, but we wouldn't have it any other way!!!

(don't worry...I only put Hailey in there as I was waking Cammy up)

Cammy wanted to be just like her little sister :)
