Darren and Tisha Hamberlin welcomed their first child, Tanner, on New Year’s Day. Tanner was the first baby born in Nevada County in 2009.
Tisha Hamberlin’s students bet that she wouldn’t return to school after the Christmas holidays.
The sixth-grade teacher at Union Hill School scoffed at the notion, seeing as how she wasn’t due to give birth for another month. But they sent her off on vacation with gift cards and a handprint kit.
“I thought they were ridiculous,” she joked. “I guess they were right.”
At 7:02 p.m. Thursday, Tisha and Darren Hamberlin of Nevada City welcomed Tanner Michael Hamberlin, born one month ahead of schedule. Tanner is Nevada County’s first baby of 2009, greeting life at five pounds, one ounce, and measuring 181⁄2 inches long.
The Hamberlins had no idea Tanner was coming. They spent a quiet New Year’s Eve with friends before going home. It wasn’t until Tisha’s water broke that they realized it was time.
“I told Darren that I didn’t pee my pants,” Tisha Hamberlin said. Tanner was born without the aid of any drugs or painkillers — a badge of honor for Mom.
The birth, after several hours of labor, was attended by Tisha Hamberlin’s family — her parents, Tami and Mike Stedman, sisters Tawny and Taryn Stedman, and brother Mike Stedman Jr. Tawny Stedman coached her sister through, while Tami Stedman rubbed her daughter’s legs.
It’s Tami and Mike Stedman’s first grandchild. But Mike Stedman, who’s not yet 50, said he’s not ready to be called “Grandpa” just yet.
“I’m way too young. After I turn 50, I won’t have a problem with that,” he joked.
Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital’s maternity ward gave tiny Tanner a giant basket stuffed with goodies that dwarfed the newborn, for being the first baby of the year.
The birth happened so fast, Tisha Hamberlin’s baby shower isn’t until next Thursday. On Friday afternoon, she hadn’t yet called the school to say she wouldn’t be in on Monday, it all was all so unexpected.
“I’m just proud of my husband and my family, and I’m a little bit proud that I didn’t need pain meds,” Tisha Hamberlin said. “I feel very blessed.”
