She's Here!!!!!

Friday, August 15th our sweet little Riley Sloane made her way into the world!! She is the sweetest little thing I've ever seen (well in 6 years because Maddie was the sweetset thing and before that Paige was the sweetest thing) and is just a quite, good-natured baby. When she came out she was yawning if that tells you anything about her being a good sleeper! She has dark hair and blue eyes with long lashes (thank goodness she got Paul's eyelashes and not mine) and she is just a tiny little thing. She was a planned C-Section and although I'd been through it before with Maddie, she was an emergency c-section, I had 9 months to dwell and think and freak-out about what was going to be happening so I was scared to death. My doctor is so great though and of course Paul was in the operating room with me and held my hand the whole time. Paul has been an absolutely wonderful husband too. He's gotten up no matter the time day or night and gets me whatever I need and helps out with everything. Paige and Maddie have also been helping out with everything too and not complaining - which has been a nice surprise. The girls LOVE their baby sister so much that it just makes me want to cry! While we were in the hospital Baby Riley was the favorite of the nursery. I was told this by the nurses I'm not just being biased :) I'm so glad she's here and I just stare at her constantly. They change and grow so fast. We are a truly blessed family.

Mom, Dad, and Baby Riley....
