Well, guess what. We have a baby! Her name is Riley Aspen and I am so very lucky to be her mama.
I don't think I will include very many details here about the birth story. Instead I will post a bunch of pictures! In a nutshell, my water broke while I was in the bathroom (blessings), I had little contractions through the night, got an epidural the following afternoon, and pushed for 30 minutes. Hats off to Jeff and the nurses who made all my hospital-picture dreams come true.
Our baby is an angel. She was born at 3:44 PM Friday, April 10, 2015. She was 6 lbs. 6 oz. and 19 and 3/4 inches long.
Riley was born the day of the Cadaver Ball (an end-of-the-year medical school celebration). Obviously we were occupied with more pressing matters, but we found out that they announced Jeff as medical student of the year! I guess everyone was like, "They're having a baby!!!" Needless to say, I am very proud of Jeff and all his hard work this year. What a day.
So there you go; we produced a human being and Jeff killed it in medical school this year.

So perfect. Congrats and welcome to motherhood!! April 10 is a great day to be born on! (also my birthday:)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the baby! I can't imaging having that much time after the water breaking!! That's nuts. You looked incredible (no fair) and Riley is gorgeous. She looks a whole lot like a Falco, but she certainly has her mom's beauty!
