Welcome Hannity Lynn Lanier!

On Friday June 4, I woke up with some really painful contractions at 5 am! I had a doctor appointment the day before, had my membranes stripped and afterwards I was almost 5 cm dilated....but had zero contractions! Since I didn't have contractions I didn't go to the hospital. When I woke up to contractions, I started timing them and they were about 40 seconds long and only about 2 minutes apart! I told Paul and he just kind of brushed it off, and said we could go to the hospital in a few hours because he wanted to sleep some more....silly boy! Well I went to the bathroom and lost my mucus plug....sorry if that's too much information....and after I said "Paul we are going to the hospital....this is it!" So he got in the shower while I put make up on and curled my hair...I wanted to look good while in labor, and my contractions were getting worse. I then told Paul that we had to go to the hospital now! He said "so I don't have time to shave my face?" I of course said no!!! So we loaded up the car and had my mom come and pick Landon up to take to my friend Kim's house, so she could watch him. We headed to the hospital and arrived there at 6:15 am. When I got there, there was nobody working downstairs, so I had to walk up to labor and delivery, by then my contractions were REALLY painful!!! I got up to labor and delivery. When we walked through the doors, I had another contractions and the nurses shouted out from down the hall "What baby is this for you??" I said "number 2." So they all came running at me and got me into a bed. The head nurse asked if I was going to want an epidural and I of course said yes!!! She then checked me and I was 9cm dilated. She then told me that I couldn't have an epidural because the baby was coming now! I of course cried and panicked! How was I going to do this with no drugs??? They asked who my doctor was and luckily he was already there....so I didn't have to wait to push! I got to the hospital at 6:15 am and Hannity was out at 6:47am...my labor was just under 2 hours...not bad!!! Since there was no time there was only 1 pic taken before, and here it is...I look gross!
Welcome to the world
Hannity Lynn Lanier
June 4, 2010
6lbs 6oz
19 inches long...and she is just PERFECT!!!

Here she is with my doctor, Dr. Juarez.
Here's me holding Hannity for the 1st time...I felt great and was walking around afterwards...I'm so glad to have had such a short labor...
Her body temperature kept dropping after she was born, so here she is under a heater.
When my mom brought Landon in, he was asleep...
He woke up to his brand new baby sister.


My little family, along with my brother and mom. They were in the delivery room with me.
Here we are eating our celebration dinner at the hospital....it surprisingly wasn't that bad!

Here she is ready for her hospital picture.
Here we are ready to be discharged....just waiting on the pediatrician to discharge Hannity.
Sweet bundle of joy =)
In the car seat ready to go!
Getting brought out to the car...our new minivan that Paul surprised me with for my birthday!
Here she is at home wearing her 1st dress...she was mad because I set her down!
and mad again because I set her down...
and mad again because she had a sponge bath...
and mad again!
She's kind of happy here =)
Here she is after her 1st Sunday at church!
wearing her 1st bracelet!
This is Hannity before her 1st road trip, she was 2 weeks old!
Here she is chilling in a cute little summer outfit that Paul's cousin got her!
We are so glad that this little girl has come in to our family! It definitely has been an adjustment. Landon has been having a hard time, but for the most part things are going well! I have been recovering great, and have been managing to get things done around the house...so I'm happy! I've been missing my sleep though....but it's oh so worth it!
