Harper Eloise Jollie

The 3 days leading up to my csection, we really tried to dote on hadley.

^Walking around the museum 

Harper Eloise Jollie 

I had a c section scheduled for 10-9-15

On 10-8-15 my water broke at 1am!

But.. I thought i peed myself :)

So at 9 am we drove to the city to go to the Museum of Play, because I knew i wanted to try a vbac and needed to start labor on my own. By noon, i called my mom and told her to meet me at the house to get hadley. By 1pm we were heading to the hospital. I had no contractions and wasn't even sure if I had broken my water. The nurse checked me and sure enough I had really broken my water. I was put in a room and a doctor came in to explain the risks of a vbac. Ben immediately said hell no, give her a csection. But my doula showed up and me and her started doing things to get my labor going. Ben was NOT on board for this. Within 2 hours I had gone from no contractions to tons. By 3 hours, I was screaming for someone to check me bc I had never been checked. I WANTED DRUGS! By the time i was checked, I was 10cm and started pushing right away. I had pushed with Hadley but she never came out so I wasn't expecting a baby. But within minutes of pushing, Harper came barreling out!!!! 7 pounds 4 oz and 21inches long!

I lost so much blood that i started hemorrhaging, shaking and was unconscious for 45 mins. 

my amazing doula^

After all that, I was ok and she was perfect.

Hadley was pretty excited about being a big sister !

my mom watched Hadley while i was in the hospital 

Thanks to having a vbac, i was discharged within a day and a half!

After 3 days home, Harper was readmitted for jaundice 

Pregnancy the 2nd time around!

2015 was a year of trying to build me business and find a profitable item to make. One of the things I tried was headbands, Hadley was my model :)

She is going to be such a great big sister!

Our 2nd wedding anniversary was spent with hadley haha. She got to eat her first ever grilled cheese sandwich^ It was a HIT

Another headband photo-op 

                   Every single moment Ben had free this summer, he took Hadley to the beach 

my entire summer was spent outdoors with this crazy kid. I have never been an outdoors person but Hadley left me with no option.

My parents adopted a new dog, Hadley named him elmo. His real name is Oscar but somehow Elmo stuck and thats what everyone calls him. 

Almond milk in her own cup was a big deal to her. 

My little frog loves water!

My dad loves carnivals and he passed his love onto Hadley.

Ben drives for UPS and hadley calls is truck "daddies brown truck"

Hadley bought her first fixer upper!

Always loving on bunnies at the farm.

I have been in a very tight mom group on Facebook since I was pregnant and I got to meet up with one of the moms in Niagara Falls. These to are only 5 days apart in age, and I am due 8 days before his mom this time!
