Yup. Miss Riley Grace was born on April 5, 2009 at 11:35AM. Weighed in at 7lbs, 9oz. 20 1/2 inches in length.
Interesting story that goes with that. So, we get the call that my sister was admitted to the hospital at 7:45PM on Saturday night. Her water broke at 4:00PM that afternoon. Her contractions were up to 102-106 on the scale by the time we got there. Everyone thought since she was doing so well with the contractions (seriously, she didn't scream once during them), she would have no problem with the birth. My sister didn't.... but the baby did. She was fully dilated at 5:00AM on Sunday morning so they had her push. The baby wasn't going anywhere though. Oh no. The baby's head was stuck against her pubic bone. Every time my sister pushed the baby would move a little bit but once she stopped pushing the baby would go right back to it's original position. So they ended up doing an emergency c-section at 10:30AM. 5 hours of pushing.
And so Riley was born! She's such a content baby! I don't think she has ever cried unless she needs something. It's amazing. Oh and so advanced! She's already picking her head up and looking around for several seconds. I don't know if that's normal, but I love her already.
