Hunters First Year! 

This blog is dedicated to:

Hunter Asaph Hayes

On the Morning of Sunday December 9th we were set to induce at University Medical Center at 6:00 am. We set 4 alarms to make sure that we would not over sleep! We were so excited to be able to do this on Grandpa Silsby's birthday!

A lot of family came to wait with us for Hunter to arrive. We had Russell Lusk (Poppy), Phillip and Shana Hass (Grandaddy and Nana), Doug and (Tadhi Hayes (T.B.D. and Grammy), Casey Hayes (Greatest Uncle in the World), and Boog and Mary Wallace (Papa Boog and Mimi).

We were so glad that they all could be here to help us bring you into the world.

By the time that they got Alana hooked up to the medicine and checked in it was about 8:00 am.
We were frantically trying to finish the Baby Wise book to make sure that we were ready to get this little boy on a schedule as soon as he arrived. 

Alana was so hot all day. We had the air conditioner in the 60's. She practically froze everybody out of the room.

Hunter arrived at 4:34 pm weighing 7lbs, 7oz. He was 21 inches long!  Mom and Dad were so elated to have Hunter finally here.

One thing that we absolutely could not believe was that in this crazy drought and dry weather that we have had.... on Hunters birthday was our first snow of the season!!!!! CRAZY!! Especially for this snow loving family! If you look at Bens shirt he is wearing his ski shirt because he said he wanted Hunter to be a professional snow skier! HAHA!
