Riley Faith Rule was born on March 12th, 2010 at 2:05pm. I was induced in the morning and waited impatiently for her to arrive. When she finally came it was a whirlwind. Riley came very suddenly and even the staff seemed a little bit frazzled. Her arrival was just like her sister Lily's, with one push and she was here! I was able to hold Riley right at birth for several minutes, she has strawberry blonde hair, weighed 6.5 pounds, and was 19.5 inches long. She is adorable and looks like her own little person. Dad was able to hold her also, then he followed her to an assessment room where she was examined.
Once Riley was settled in the NICU we were able to spend time with her. She was given an IV of prostaglandin (to keep airway open in her heart), potassium chloride, and 3 other anti-biotics. She was given oxygen to help her breathe, but otherwise is doing great! We can cuddle her, kiss her, and touch her all we want! Her surgery is set for Monday at this point. For now we are just spending our time staring at her adorable face!
In HIS Grip!
