Riley Marie has arrived!!

She's finally here!!

Riley Marie was born on April 26, 2012 at 9:34pm.  She is 8lbs 3.4oz and 20in long.  She has {A TON} of brown hair, dark blue eyes and looks exactly like her BIG sister!  She's perfect in every way and we are completely and utterly in love!

We checked in Thursday morning around 6:30am and they started the induction process by 7:30am.  This labor was very similar to Madison's,  I made it to about 5-6cm before getting the epidural {which was around 8:15pm} and the pain disappeared... until about an hour later.  

A little after 9pm I seriously thought the epidural stopped working; the pain was back and I was really uncomfortable, so the nurse decided to check me again.  Her reaction was, "the baby is here, we are paging the Dr. right now!" soooo, not only was I finally at 10cm, but the baby was ready to come out... NOW!  I was told to NOT push and stay as relaxed as possible.  Since Madison came out with only 20 min of pushing, the nurse expected a similar result for Riley, so they prepped the room right away.  

It took about 15 minutes for the Dr. to get to the room {so it was about 9:30pm now} and the pushing began... well not that much pushing, becuase Riley came out on the 2nd push {9:34pm}!  She was faster than her sister.  So after 14 hrs of labor, we finally got to meet our baby girl <3

So that's my story... here are some pics {and a video} to go along with it.  ENJOY!
