My little girl is 2



While on a Hansen family vacation to Veracruz, Mexico I was feeling really sick. Every smell made me sick and so did all the food. I decided to go home early with Luke and try and get some rest and feel better. After three diferent flights we were finally bad in Arizona and I was ready to sleep and try and feel better.
When three days had passed and I was still not feeling better we decided to take a pregnancy test. To our suprise we were in fact pregnant which made all the sickness I was having well worth it.

I called my family right away. We had to wait another week to tell his family since they were still out of town. Both families were exicted to have another edition.
The next 9 months were long. I gained a total of 55 pounds and was swollen from head to toe. I had to take tests every couple weeks to make sure that I wasnt going to go into labor early. But I went the full 9 months and 1 day over. I had to get induced.
We got a call at around 8 pm on Janurary 20th and said we could go to the hospital and get induced. Luke and I were shocked. We werent expecting it since we werent suppossed to go in til the following day. We were at his moms his house for dinner so we left and went home got things ready and headed down to the hospital.
We got there at 11pm got all checked in and got a pre-labor room and got petocin put in and off we went. Luke slept the whole time while I sat there in pain. (I will never let him forget that). At 3am they checked me and I was ready to get my epidural. We went to the delivery room and got settled in there. Luckily Luke and I were able to sleep while our moms sat and got caught up on each others lives. They broke my water and then things went really fast. My ob doc came to check me and said it might be a little while so she went to her office. But Cambree was ready to come to the world. Not long after she left I was ready to push. She almost didnt make it back in time to deliever Cambree but luckily she made it.
I pushed for about 30 minutes and out came Cambree. It was not painful at all and I cant wait to have another one. Hopefully our next baby will be just as smooth.

Our delivery room was full. We had both our moms, my sister and 3 doctors. I loved having everyone there and wouldnt change a thing. In the waiting room was my sister in law, Melissa and my best friend from high school, Brooke. They were all excited to see what Cambree would look like.

We were moved into the recovery room and thats where we spent the next day. We were able to have our friends and family come visit us. We were both excited to go home and get to know our Cambree.

My mom was nice enough to stay with us for 2 weeks to help me and cook us food. Thanks mom that was great.
I cant believe two years have already gone. Cambree is such a blessing to have in our lives and she teaches us new things every day.
