Ryleigh Lynn was born Sunday morning at 12:18am on September 11, 2011.
She weighed in at 7 lbs. 15.1 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. She is very healthy and looks exactly like Dane when he was born. I had to only push once for about 10-20 seconds, and she came right out! The doctor pretty much had to catch her. (I believe it was so quick because I had to wait a good half hour after my water broke for the doctor to get to the hospital, otherwise I would have pushed her out sooner.)
I woke up Saturday feeling crampy and around 3:30pm I started tracking my contractions. Around 8:30pm, after walking around the block with Alek many times, we went to the hospital when the contractions were 3-5 minutes apart. In this picture I am in the triage center and I was dialated to 4cm. Obviously I am in between contractions here =)
Aunt Angie Willson was working at the hospital that night so she was able to get us the VIP treatment and take pictures for us. Thanks so much Angie!
When Dane came to visit he gave me a great big hug and then immediately looked around to find Ryleigh. When he finally saw her, he had a look of amazement on his face and then smiled and said, "Baby!" I asked him to say hi and he waved and said, "Hi Ryleigh.... baby sister." It was really sweet!

Wonderful pictures and what a great way to share your birth experience as well as documenting it for future reference! Ryleigh will love reading about this in about 5-6 years. :-)
