Alright! The time finally came. Sorry everyone who has been waiting to see pictures. I don't know why it took me so long to post. Dustin has actually been a little busy, so now he's here to help with the kiddos, so here goes. Basically, Tuesday night I was in lots of pain, so I didn't go to work Wednesday and asked to go to the doctor instead. He checked me and I was dilated to a 2 1/2 and 90% effaced. He could feel the head and said one membrane was already gone. He stripped my membranes, and I basically contracted from then on out. I went home for about two hours and the told Dustin to come get me. This is the only picture I have of me pregnant. We took it right before we walked out the door to the hospital. Mind you, I was having a contraction during this picture. Super fun!

We got to the hospital at about 12:30 in the afternoon on Wednesday. Here we are at the hospital. Just getting ready. I had my epidural and felt really good after that. I went from a 5 to a 10 in an hour. The nurse checked me and said, "Let's start pushing!" I was SO EXCITED!

I pushed through one contraction and baby was here! We named him Noah Dustin Hansen. He was born at 5:07 PM on Wednesday. 8 lbs 6 oz. Twenty inches. He screamed til I fed him, and then he's been good ever since.

Proud daddy.


Thanks to grandparetns for taking Macie while we were at the hospital. They brought her a few times to meet her little brother. This picture is pretty much the cutest thing ever. Macie LOVES Noah. She is already such a good helper and hasn't even gotten jealous, which is what I was really nervous about. She's awesome.

Shopping spree with Grandma. She had to show us her new outfit.
