Hannah is 8 months 1 week and 3 days old today. She weighed 20.1lbs and was 27 inches long at her doctors appointment a week ago. She is a BIG girl!
Here is how Hannah came to be...(minus the dirty details)
September 2003
I had lived accross the street from Michael's family for 3 years I think, and I needed someone to take the extra movie ticket I had, cause my friend canceled on me. So I asked him. It ended up not being a good day for him, so 2 weeks later he asked me out to see a movie, we saw Matchstick men (good movie). The whole movie I wanted to hold his hand (aww puppy love) but I didn't, and he now says that he wanted to too, but didn't.
So that night we decided to start dating, it was the 17th I think.

It was valentines day and I hadn't gotten ANYTHING from him, we had been dating 6 months, so I figured I would get something at least. Well it was 7 pm and I was at work, and got called into the office (I thought I was in trouble). There was Michael, all dressed up, with a little black ring box in his hand, he said something ( I really don't remember) but the jist of it was that he wanted to marry me! WOW! Of course I said YES! And then I had to go back to work!

WE GOT MARRIED!!!! It was WONDERFUL! We had a beautiful outdoor wedding at joyce park.
September 2006
Well we got pregnant, YEY....right? We were very excited! Then I when I was coming up on 12 weeks and I lost the baby... yeah thats all for that story.
February 22nd 2007
I thought maybe that I was pregnant, cause I felt nausious just smelling Mother in laws coffee, I LOVE COFFEE! So I took a test, then took another just to make sure, and well......
I WAS PREGNANT!
I had a great pregnancy, a couple false alarms and some serious heart burn, but nothing bad.

SHE IS HERE!!!
7lbs 8oz and 19 1/2 inches long
October 19th, 2007 at 4:50pm
15 hours of labor, an epidural, and some stitches
I just remember thinking that she is perfect. Every finger and toe, every hair on her head, every single inch of her, PERFECT! Oh and that she looked like her daddy! LOL
We stayed in the hospital for 3 days because I was nursing and they wanted to make sure she was eating well.
We went home with my in-laws in tow so they could help me get settled, I forget what hubby was doing.
Denna (our dog) stayed with my in-laws for a couple months after Hannah got home, it was COLD and hard to take the dog out while a baby was fussing, and we were on the 3rd floor apartment (still are, just diffrent place, LOL)
I remember when I brought her home thinking "now what? What do I do?" We got the hang of it though.
And she is still alive so I am guessing we are doing okay.
And that is how Hannah came to be!
Blog ya later!
