Hailey turns 5!!!!

WOW! Well my "baby" girl girls 5 years old tomorrow! Cannot believe that she is that old already, time really does fly by! I remember 5 years ago today like it was yesterday! I was 2 days overdue and miserable! Everyone kept telling me that I would be having this baby any time but I certainly didn't feel that way. I even left work this day 5 years ago telling everyone I would see them tomorrow...but that definitely wasn't the case. My water broke at 11pm on March 3rd and we rushed the hospital. I was only 1 cm dialated and having small contractions but I was not feeling them. After being forced to walk the hallways for an hour they let me sleep and woke up and I was not any further along, maybe 2cm. Started me on Pitocin around 10 or 11am. Made the contractions come along a lot laster and I was definitely feeling the pain then! I got the epidural and life was good. I slept most of the afternoon on the 4th and around 6:30ish I started to feel pressure down there. Pushed for 1 hour and Hailey Marie was born at 7:58pm on March 4th weighing 8lbs 15oz and 20 inches long! I will never forget the moment I first saw her or what it felt like to hold in my arms the first time! She was perfect and beautiful! Hailey Marie I love you more than words could ever describe...you are my favorite person and someone who makes my heart smile just thinking of you!!! Here are a few pictures from the past 5 years.
