3 weeks old

June 5, 2009 Riley turned 3 weeks old today. Riley got to go and stay with Papa & Nana Hartig on Saturday June 6, 2009 so that Adam and I could go to Dusina's wedding in Dayton, OH. This was the longest that Adam and I had left Riley.

2 weeks old

May 29th, 2009 Riley is 2 weeks old! The schedule that we put her on seems to be working. She eats every 2 hours 2 ounces of formula. This week was my first week all by myself at home. Some days we hard and others were a walk in the park. This week too was the start of seeing Riley's different facial expressions. She has so many! We went back to the doctors office on Friday May 29th. This was her check up appointment. Everything went well. She wont be going back until she is 2 months old which is on July 10th, 2009

Our First Week Home

May 18th, 2009 Our first week home was all about getting to know about Riley. We put her on a schedule to help us out and her. Adam was lucky enough to get a week off work to stay home with Riley and me. On Monday May 18th we had to take Riley to her very first doctors appointment. She hadn't pooped since she was born and the doctor wanted us to come in. The doctor did her magic and Riley finally pooped at the doctors office!

Bringing Riley Home

We got to finally go home on Sunday May 17th at 10:30 am. I was very exciting considering that I hadn't left the hospital since we arrived. We got Riley all dressed in her take home outfit. She looked so cute in it. She slept all the way home!

Riley Is here!

On May 14th, 2009 at 8 pm Adam and I headed to Riverside Hospital for my induction. After 19 hours and 2 hours of that was me pushing Riley finally came out! Born on May 15, 2009 weighing in at 7 pounds 14 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long.

14th Appointment

39 weeks picture

Went to the doctors today for the weekly appointment. Adam and I were hoping to hear some good news but instead we heard the same thing we were told last week. I have not progressed at all. I am still 1 cm dilated and I haven't dropped yet (as you can tell in the picture above) Riley really really doesn't want to come out into this world. My due date is fast approaching coming this Sunday. There is a full moon on Saturday and I am keeping my fingers crossed that maybe that will do something to my body and Riley will pop out. Riley is still very active which is weird to me because there is no room left for her to be doing all these tosses and turns. I was weighed again as always but this time I only gained 1 1/2 pounds. A total of 48 1/2 pounds gained.

If Riley doesn't show her face between now and next Thursday May 14th I am being induced. Doctor said that one way or another we WILL be having Riley on May 15th.
