Welcome Hayes Raymond Ortiz!

I couldn't sit at home and wait for this baby while I could be in Sj with my family for Sam's Graduation so I decided to go!  Well I made it through all the festivities of the Graduation and  a little reception to celebrate Josh and Ashley getting married and then Sunday came!   Well we needed to go to Grandma and Grandpa Isaacson's house to go get the last of our stuff from the shop, so I hopped in Jacob's old Dodge truck to go down there (only a short 4 mile drive)! I had been told that riding in the old truck might trigger labor but who really believes those ideas! WELL as soon as Jake stopped the truck and I got out and had a hard contraction that stopped me in my tracks. Jake looks at me and said " Stop that!" Haha Once it stopped I watched them finish loading the stuff in the trailer hooked to my car. After I decided I better not ride with Jake back to the house and got in the car with Ike. We got back to my parents house and we sat around visiting mean while I was still having contractions. I should have known I was in labor but they weren't really consistent and really I didn't want to be  because I was far from the hospital!   So I just kept to myself and didn't tell anyone that I was having contractions! Around 2 pm we left to head back to Albuquerque, trailer in tow! We left Ronnee with my mom because we figured she could come with my mom whenever she came for the baby!
~Side story. My in-laws went to AZ with us and had left really early that morning to drive back to Colorado!
So we are driving and just passed the power plant I start timing my contraction and realized they are pretty consistent and strong! We make the turn to go toward Zuni and Tyler tells me to call my mom and at least let her know the situation. So I call her and she doesn't answer because she is napping. So I call Rachel and tell her. Now it seems real! Rachel goes over and wakes my mom and the rest of the house and they load the cars. Mick and her fam and Hannah and Sam in their car. Rachel my mom and Ronnee in her car! I am now in so much pain and the bumpy ride because we are pulling a trailer isn't helping!  We get to Ramah and decide we better ditch the trailer so that we can go faster so we dont have this baby on the side of the road!  Cameron and all his kids load up in his car and go pick up the trailer for us in the LDS church parking lot and take it to our house for us!   While Tyler is getting the trailer off I am having some severe contractions. Poor Cutler was so confused. He kept asking why I was crying and asking what was wrong so I was trying to keep it together so I wouldn't scare him! (He is already afraid of hospitals and doctors)  We just get on the road and MY WATER BREAKS. We stop at a gas station in Ramah to make sure it was in fact my water breaking and I wasn't bleeding!   WATER is broken and thank heavens for leather seats! We searched the car for clothes for me to sit on and clean up a bit and hit the road!!
Thank heavens for Tyler's driving and all the prayers for our safe travels!  We made it to Grants and decided we could make it to ABQ because having  a baby in Grants would be so inconvenient and it is just and hour drive! We made it in record time! Meanwhile my family and Tyler's parents made it to there house in Colorado and then Tyler called and said I was in labor so they hopped back in the car so they could be there to help with kids and see the baby be born!  
We made it to the hospital and Tyler dropped me off at the doors and I walked  wet pants and all in and got checked in! Thankfully my pants were black so you couldn't tell how wet I was but I am sure I smelled bad! Lol I get in the elevator and these 2 ladies get in and ask me if what I was I having and I said we will see in a little while!   I get out and get to Triage to get checked out and make sure if I am really in labor which I already know that I am!  They were so slow and I was dying!   Cutler and Tyler get up there finally and they get me in a room and they either dont believe me or are just doing things slow.My blood pressure was High but of course it was, I had just had a drive from hell!  I had a contraction and more stuff came out and they finally said I needed to get to Labor and Delivery! Cutler just kept looking at me and telling me he loved me! Haha Tyler was giving him candy and having him look out the window!
I got to labor and delivery and my family made it!  Aneron, Rachel, Hannah, Mickey, and my mom stayed in the room with us and Sam and Albert watched the kids until my mother in law got there to help with them!  I was dying!  I got to take a shower which felt nice! I was having some bleeding the contractions were on top of eachother! Mimi and Snakes made it and Snake came in the room with all of and Mimi watched the kids! My mom and sister were putting oils on me and rubbing my feet and legs! It was a nice distraction but man was I in pain!  I was kind of annoyed because they wouldn't check my dilation because my water had broken!  I just wanted to know how dilated I was so I knew how long to expect!   After what seemed like forever they finally checked me and I was an 8 nearly a 9! I wanted some drugs but they said I was to far along!  So instead my midwife decided that with my contractions she would push against my push to get me to dilate the rest of the way! OUCH!!!!!!  This is when Snakes left! NO man besides the father needs to see this! I was so tired from not getting any sleep the nights before and I was in so much pain. I just wanted to pass out!!  So we went on doing this pushing thing and then my midwife was chatting with the nurses and I just pushed with all I could muster up and out came the baby! My fam was a little annoyed that she wasn't paying attention to me pushing!  Sweet Baby Hayes Raymond Ortiz ripped his way out of me and was immediately put on my chest!  The sweet little boy pooped all over us! It was comical and a good distraction for what was going on downstairs! Haha I made sure someone helped me hold the baby because I honestly couldn't hold my own arms up let alone a baby!  He was so dang cute with all his black hair! He looked a lot like his older brother! He latched right away and went to town!
I had so good tears and so they had to get a doctor to come in and check me out and help get me all stitched up! He tore me both up and down and man did I feel it!  I had a huge hematoma(sp) and was bleeding a lot!  An hour later they got me all fixed up and were kind enough to let the kids and family come in a see the baby even though it was way past visiting hours!     After I had him they had taken some pictures of Hayes and took them out to show the kids! Cutler said "HE LOOKS LIKE ME!"  And when the came in to see him it was love at first site! Ronnee was a little hesitant to hold him but Cutler said put him on my lap!! IT was the cutest thing! This sweet baby Hayes is already loved so so much!

May 24, 2015  8 lbs 4 oz  and 20 inches long!

So glad we made it to the hospital safe and sound and got this sweet baby boy here!  Thank you to our Heavenly Father and all the prayers we received!
