8 lbs. 6 0z., 20.5 inches. Thursday, May 21st at 5:30 pm. They started me on pitocin but couldn't get the anestheseologist b/c of an appendectomy. It took him 7 pokes in my spine to get the epidural in (the WORST part). At 4:30 she broke my water and I was between 5-6 cm. All of the sudden I told the nurse I was feeling a little nauseous and had a little pain. She checked me and suddenly it was a flurry of activity because Riley was coming out!!! I didn't push! She just sort of fell out!!! That was the best part. Anyway, things are good and we're healing up just fine!
Glamorous hospital gown :)
The Daddy, Hy and Riley (before she ever had a name :)Riley is phonemically named after all of her grandmas and great-grandmas. It is a stretch, but I think it's cool.
R - Ramona, Ruth
IL - ILajean
EY- vickI
J - Josephine
E- jEAnette
N-jaN
Anyway, gotta go but thank you for your prayers, calls, name suggestions, etc. Love you all! :)

Holy Cow- I canNOT believe they stabbed your spine SEVEN times!!!! That is horrifying! Were you worried about permanent damage?? Well, I'm glad all is well and she is a beautiful baby, love the name- very clever! Congrats! Having an 8 lb pound baby just fall out is quite impressive!
Congratulations! She is beautiful!
She does look like Hyrum, a little bit. I think she looks like your baby picture, maybe just because she's a girl. I don't know. I can't wait to introduce myself as her FAVORITE AUNTIE! Love you and your little fam. Loves.
