Finally! I can finally blog about our new baby! We have had a virus on our computer, and my time has somehow been sucked up lately, but I have been wanting to introduce everyone to our new little man!
Jude McKay Hansen
Born: 12:51 PM on June 25, 2012
8 lbs. 21 in.
I realize pictures of pregnancy and labor and everything are not the most flattering pictures in the world, but don't judge! :) I really thought I was going to have my baby earlier than I really did, but I was scheduled to be induced on Monday, the 25th. Dustin's mom was nice enough to come stay at our house the night before so she could watch our kids. We went in on Monday morning at 7:00 AM. I got started on Pitocin at about 7:30. I got an epidural at about 9:45 and was dilated to a four. The epidural only worked on one side. My water broke at about 10:15. They did another epidural. For about an hour I was really not having fun. The contractions were hurting so bad. I was just sweating and oblivious to the world around me. :) Nice job to all those natural laborers out there. I'm not one. My second epidural worked like a charm. The nurse just kept telling me that if I felt the need to push to let her know. I didn't really know, so I just hung out. The doctor came in and checked me and I was fully dilated. He got ready and told me to push whenever I felt like it. I pushed once and out popped Baby Jude!
Amanda stopped by on her way to a family reunion when Jude was 5 days old. She isn't taking pictures right now, but she couldn't help but snap a few spur of the moment shots of my little man. THANKS AMANDA!!! How cute for no planning, right?

First of all, "Nice job to all those natural laborers out there. I'm not one." !! A-freakin-men! Loved that.
And secondly (and ultimately much more important): CONGRATULATIONS!! What a darling little man! He's darling and a perfect combination of the two of you! Super, duper cute. I hope your recovery (physical, emotional, hormonal, all that) is easy and quick. You look great. Congrats, momma! :)
