I totally walked all day yesterday and by dinner I was having pretty good contractions. I had my sister in law time them for me so I had some sort of idea (even though I thought for sure it wasn't the real thing again!) and those contractions kept steady for a good 2 hours before we thought we'd better take me to the hospital. So we packed up the kids and grandma Hammons rode with the boys and I to the hospital (Matt was busy in his Monday bowling league!) I called Matt and told him to go ahead and finish his game and head over because I thought for sure I wasn't that far along. I could have hung out at home for longer, but with Cru coming so fast I thought I'd better at least check. I checked myself in and they told me that I was a six! Woohooo! I know most of you might think I'm crazy, but I decided to try the natural thing again... mostly because I'm cheap and I didn't want to pay for it. I'd done it before I could do it again, right?! Well Matt finally showed up and it was just the waiting game. The nurse checked me an hour later and said I was a good eight and she could push me to a nine... call the doctor! Doctor came and broke my water (finally) and she was born like 20-30 minutes later, ALL NATURAL! The nurses kept asking when I started the screaming, but let me tell you that this was the easiest labor so far. I pushed for like 5-10 minutes to try to take it a little slower than Cru came and it worked out great. I had no rips or tears, yeah! So excited about that. She has the cutest brown hair and her head is so perfect and round, no conehead. I am soooo thankful for a wonderful labor! Since it went so great I am already home with her and we are doing great. She is loving her brothers and they are loving her. Cru didn't really even care to see me all he said was, "BABY!" with arms wide open to see her.

Soo Jealous, of how smooth everything went. It was great to talk to you this morning, and hear all the scoop. We are so excited that Macey is here. Now that I finally have a precious little one, I just wish we still lived closer so we could have play dates.. Again we are so happy for you. Take it easy and don't over-due it. Make sure Matt spoils you, you deserve it and worked hard getting that little one here safely. Hugs & Luvs, Kiley, Brent & Baby Kaedyn

I told you that you would have her that night (lucky guess, but we can keep that between us). Perhaps I will go all natural for this next pregnancy - you've inspired me! :o)
Anywho, congrats on your sweet new addition. She is beautiful.
All natural! You left that part out. Good for you! May have to make a special trip to see her. So stinkin' cute!

Oh -and we are moving to Tucson in July, so it might be kind of crazy that month, but anytime after that you guys should totally come down!!
Congrats Haley! Yeah!!! I'm so excited for you. Welcome to the world of girls. Good luck!
Congratulations on the baby. She is so cute. Don't you love labor the more babies you have. At least for me 2 and 3 were a breeze. I look forward to seeing her in May.

Congratulations!! Macey is beautiful! And great job on doing it natural again! I would love to bring you dinner one night...maybe next week? I'll call you then. Again, Congrats!!
She is so cute! And you look so good, you are my hero! Natural and hardly any weight gain...jealous. I hope you have some help, 3 can be a handful! I'm so glad everyone is happy and healthy.
Congratulations! Welcome baby Macey, she's a doll!
I just realized that I didn't leave a comment! She's so stinkin cute! Is it okay if I call her Macey Moo? I just love it. :)
Haley!She is so beautiful. I found your blog through Hatsuho Cook. I would like you to know that I was born the same exact date and time (just 25 years ago), so I think you had her on the perfect day. My middle name is also Nicole, kinda weird. I hope you guys enjoy every minute. Congratulations.
YAY!! You're my hero! And my favorite thing...Matt in his bowling shirt :)
I was feeling kind of left out on the comment thing so I thought I'd tell you again that she is adorable. I totally forgot how little they start out, maybe next time I hold her she will open her eyes. We love you Macey!
I just wanted to tell you congratulations! She is so beautiful! If you need anything let us know-
Congratulations! She's a beauty...and you look amazing - as always.
Haley, Congratulations! I can't believe i'm comment #40...i've never seen that many comments on one post! but this news is definitely worthy of it :). Wow, the whole story is very impressive and I'm so happy for you guys. Good luck with new little Macey. And i love your hair, by the way.
