Well, after a long, hiatus, Nicky's womb issued forth and out came a 8lb 7oz baby girl, hereafter to be referred to as Hannah Renee Wilczewski! I will be updating this post (or making an additional post) to add pictures, but for now we wanted to document the story of the birth. First, a few other things have happened since our last update (April!!!). The kids finished Kindergarten and Third grade, I went on my annual Reunion trip and had a great time with my gaming friends, and Swim team started up again.
Now, onto the birth. Nicky went into labor around 9:40pm on June 23rd. About 2am on the 24th, we went to the hospital. Taylor had expressed interest in coming with us to witness Hannah's birth, so we woke her up in the middle of the night, and hopped into the car. When we got to the hospital, Nicky spent about 4 hours having good solid contractions, before her baby-tube fell asleep. After a couple of hours, the doctors gave her some pitocin, and she was back on the birthing track. Around 1pm, she opted for an Epidural and was very glad she did. The rest of the laboring seemed much more pleasant for her (At least that's how it seemed from the sidelines) and at 4:45, Hannah was PUSH PUSH PUSHed into our lives. She immediately seemed like a calm baby, and before the night was over, she was nursing happily.
I was able to catch Taylor's reaction on video, and I'll add it to the pictures when I post those. Leading up to the birth, she seemed very excited to have a little sister, but when Hannah was born, she had an unexpected reaction. She said she immediately missed AJ and was sad that he couldn't be there with us at this intense family time. It's not often that Taylor misses AJ, so it was especially sweet to see. Andrew came along shortly later to meet his new baby sister, and Taylor was ecstatic to see him. Now, I'll turn it over to Taylor, and I promise to add some pictures soon.
This is Taylor! And Boy, do I have a story for you. I finally got to meet my sister, Hannah and see the live birth, I think it was a little gross but I got to see Hannah's face for the first time ever, so that was exciting. Here's my story,
I was woken up by dad carrying me to the car. I soon realized that mom was going to have the baby so my excitement woke me up. We were soon at the Hospital, it took a really long time for mom to be ready to have the baby, but when she was, I got my camera out fast and got a picture of my new sister. I was very upset because whenever I'm around a little kid or a baby, I like my brother, Aj more than usual. When he finally got to the Hospital, I ran over to him and almost knocked him down! Aj immediately ran over to see Hannah, which gave me not much time to hug him. Nobody feels like I feel when it comes to babies, so that wasn't a big surprise. Anyways, that is the end of my story so bye till next time!
