After a long night of strong contractions I sent Garrett off to El Paso to pick up my mom, sent my in-laws off to Arizona to help move Berkley and family, I was left alone to face the day. I had to get Tori off to school, Benton off to "Happiness School" and attend a school play. After laying down for a quick nap I tackled some housework, made a roast, and baked some cookies. By this time I was having STRONG contractions every 20 minutes.
I called Garrett and told him to HURRY home! I was forming a back-up plan...and just about to use it...when...Garrett pulled into the driveway at 6:00pm. I kissed my mom and Louisa hello/good-bye and jumped in the car to race to the hospital. We arrived to the hospital at 6:30pm and the baby was born at 7:35pm.
Adalyn Aspen Hatch was born with NO complications and in practically 1 push. The doctor just had enough time to put on his scrubs, turn around and catch the baby. 7lbs. 4 oz., 20 inches.
