One Week today.....

So, as you can tell, Riley is here!! We went last Wednesday for our scheduled c-section. I had a bit of a breakdown right before we left. I was saying good-bye to our dog and the tears started to come and would not stop!! I think I was just an emotional mess and could not hold it in any longer. Joe just held me and told me to "get a grip". As silly as it is it made me realize that I would be totally fine and that he would be by my side the whole time...and he was.
The c-section took only 15 minutes and really the only thing that hurt was getting the IV....seeing that the nurse blew out one of my veins.
Anyways.....things went great and Riley was born at 11:15, weighing in at 7lb 10oz. She was released from the hospital weighing in at 6lb 14oz (it is normal for them to lose weight after they are born). But we went to the doctors on Monday for her first check up and she is up to 7lb 4oz. He is a good eater and a great sleeper (knock on wood). She eats just about every 3-4 hours. During the day she is very awake and at night she is sound asleep. It is wonderful!! We are all just getting to know each other and becoming a family. But I must say, I love my new job as a mother!
Here are some photos of her.....enjoy!
