Two hours later at 12:30am I was still on the internet, when my water broke.
THEN, another two hours later at 2:42am I was holding Hailey Marie!
Can you believe it?!? I had the fastest, craziest labor I could ever have imagined. They literally ran me (on the bed) through the hospital from triage to L & D telling me the whole way NOT to push (like I had any choice in the matter!) and the nurse in L & D literally caught her when we got there. I had been crying because no one in triage was believing me she that was coming, they had just checked me and I was *only* 6 cm. They hadn't even gotten my I.V. in yet. I had really wanted an epidural this time and they were over at the desk talking about what sweetners they wanted for their coffees and I got really, really angry that they were ignoring me. Guess, I ruined their coffee plans making them run me to the other end of the hospital.....
Anyways, here's a picture of our new princess.

She is so so so cute! Naomi has that same outfit :) I can't believe the nurses were discussing sweetners while you were in transition. I can't imagine keeping my cool during that.
Oh wow!!
Congratulations!! What a sweetie! My last delivery was that fast too. Water broke at 2 am, baby arrived one hour later with them running me to L & D. Baby was coming out before I was even on the bed!!
Enjoy this time with your little one!

What an adorable baby girl! Thank you so much for sharing this already. Wow! That was a quick labor! Praise God they caught her! Sounds like your experience was blessed even when it didn't seem like it at first.
CONGRATULATIONS!
