BABY HANNAH

Wow! It has already been 2 weeks with our new baby girl. We have loved spending time as a family for the last 2 weeks. Evan loves his sister and although he sometimes ignores her, he does give her a kiss everyday. When she crys he says baby and wants to go see her. He also climbs up on the stool in front of her changing pad to say HI to her in the morning. We love to see them together and hope that they will have a strong bond.

Well, for all of you who don't know Hannah entered the world on Friday June 12th at 5:43pm. She was 7lbs. 8 oz. and 19 inches. I went into the hopital at 5 am to be induced. Things seemed to be going a lot better this time than my first time with Evan. Halfway through my labor the nurse was acting a little funny and wasn't saying anything. She brought in an ultrasound machine and did an ultrasound and then left and brought back another nurse who did the same thing. That's when my nurse told me that Hannah was breech. I just lost it. They told me that they would call the dr. and see what to do but that I was most likely going to have a C section. I was scared and did not want to have surgery. My mom and Scott were trying to calm me down and Scott asked the nurse to leave so that he could give me a blessing. As he was giving me a peaceful blessing my dr. walked in. He is LDS and felt the spirit in the room. He knew I did not want to have a C section so he did everything he could to move Hannah. After what seemed like the most painful part of my labor the dr. was able to move her head down. I was then straped around my stomach to keep her in place. I am so grateful for my husbands blessing and the power of the priesthood. And for my dr. who helped Hannah to move back in place. I was told by so many nurses and people that doctors usually never try to move a baby once you are in labor because of the risk, however my dr, said his hands were guided and I know they were.
I will never forgot this special day that you, Hannah Louise Wheatfill, were born. We love you and are so blessed that you are apart of our family.
