Lila Emery Hiatt

Lila Emery Hiatt arrived on April 30, 2016.  She was born at Madison Hospital weighing 6 lb 8 oz and 20 inches long.  She was a healthy beautiful girl with brown hair and blue eyes.  The week of Lila's arrival was quite hectic.  Emma was sick and we had multiple Dr visits to find out Emma had a double ear infection and needed tubes again.  I then got sick from Emma with a bad cold and cough and couldn't sleep at night.  Tuesday I had a Dr visit and found out I was 3 cm dilated and 80 % effaced.  Wed night I started having irregular contractions.  Grandma & grandpa arrived at our house Thursday night to help out.  Saturday morning I woke up at 3 am with painful contractions 5 mins apart.  I woke up Andrew and we got to the hospital at 4 am.  I progressed quickly and by the time I got the epidural I was 9 cm dilated.  The Dr then broke my water and I started pushing, 30 mins later Lila was born at 7:36 am.  I was very thankful for a quick labor considering I was not feeling well.  Grandma & grandpa stayed and helped out the next week and then Meme & Papa came down to help.

We spent April getting ready for Lila's arrival.  We finished Emma's new room and spent the weekends doing fun things with Emma.

Easter

In March grandma & grandpa came to visit.We dyed eggs with them to celebrate Easter and took them to Bridgestreet for pizza & icecream.  We put them to work while they were visiting, mom helped me dig up flowers and replant them and dad helped me build the headboard for Emma's new room.  Emma enjoyed her time with them!
