Hailey was born at 7:41am and was by far the easiest for me. First of all, I was scheduled in the O R at 7:30 am and she was born 11 minutes later. No waiting and no stressing out about it all day. I didn't sit there waiting forever (like with Alexia) and I didn't get bumped twice (like with Macy). I wasn't in labor for 18 hours prior, just to have a emergency c-section (like with Garrison), and I didn't have a tumor which made it necessary to have 2 MRI's and 2 surgeries all with in 8 weeks of a c-section. I didn't have to wonder whether or not I had cancer for 6 weeks either. Hailey didn't have any trouble breathing (like Alexia, Jackson, and Macy) and there was no stay at the NICU(Macy). We didn't move when she was 4 weeks old (Alexia) nor did we find out we were moving across the country the day after we brought her home (Macy). I didn't get thrush (Alexia) nor did I have some weird skin infection from the steri-strips (Alexia). Plus, I only had one other child at home to take care of.
If I would have known then what I know now I would have enjoyed myself a lot more. All of that makes recovering from a c-section and the anxiety that I have for 9 months before seem easy. ha ha.
Here are some of my favorite pictures of Hailey:
and last but not least, Hailey at 7:41 am on May 14, 2009. 
Happy Birthday Hailey!
