Riley's Birth Story
I had been having contractions on and off for a week. Then on March 13th they started at 7pm and continued through the night but weren't painful. The next morning I took Nate to preschool and while we were there they started to become a little more intense so we drove home. By noon they were painful but still 8 minutes apart so I called Mesh and told him to come home from work. We got to the doctor's office at 1:45 and then learned I was already 7cm dilated! We couldn't believe it and were so excited - as you can tell from our picture above! We walked over to the labor and delivery unit and checked in around 2:45. I was still feeling pretty good. Then things got tough but went really quickly so I was able to deliver Riley without any medication. She was born just an hour later. Welcome to the world Riley Isabel! We love you so much!
