Figured i would start out with the best adventure of all...Miss Riley Durham. This picture was taken 5 days before her arrival. We didn't find out the sex of the baby before, so we were quite anxious for her to appearance. We were supposed to be induced late Monday (March 21st), but she decided to start coming on her own. Yay! There were a few complications...she never dropped and wasn't even in the birth canal. They "let" me labor for about 9 hours in which my water broke on its own (super cool by the way). They had slowed the contractions down due to her stressing, but unfortunately, I stopped dialating. I never got to more than 4 - 5 centimeters dialated. At point and due to a couple other complications, they decided to do a c-section. It wasn't necessarily considered "emergency", but enough to put us in front of all the scheduled c-sections. Finally on March 22, 2011 at 9:54am, after being completly numb from the waist down...they announced..."It's a Girl!".
Miss Riley had finally (after being overdue by 6 days) made her appearance! She was 7 lbs 15 oz and 20.5 inches long. Those cheeks are to die for...and they are soooo soft! She's been a great baby girl so far as we try and figure out this parenthood thing.
