Kate arrived in Chattanooga the day Riley was born...She missed the birth, but was able to meet Riley the day she came into this world!!! Very exciting to see how perfect God's timing is.

My birth story... I went to the hospital Sunday Dec. 7th thinking i was going into labor. We arrived at the hospital around 11:30 PM to find out I was only 3 cm. We were in a birthing room by 12:30AM on Dec 8th.. It tooks hours to get to 4 1/2 cm. I was given some pain medication at 3 AM due to contractions getting rough.... and hour later at 4 AM I was 10 cm and told i was going into labor now...within 30 seconds full staff ran into the room prepared to deliver Riley....12 minutes later Riley Elizabeth Grier was born... 6 lbs 3 ounces 19 1/2 in. YAY!!

Almost there!!!

Seth and I went to a birthing class on Saturday. During this class Seth was able to wear "The Empathy Belly"...complete with breast and a belly, weighing 25 lbs. He said it was not that bad...I said yeah I would say that too if I only had to wear it for 15 min....too bad I can't take mine off when I get tired!! He did say that he felt a little more pressure on his bladder! It was fun to see and the class went well...not sure if you can be fully prepared to give birth but we are doing whatever we can!!

The Baby's Name

2008-08-12T17:45:00.001-07:00

Seth and I decided to name the baby Riley Elizabeth.

Reading a Book

2008-08-12T17:40:00.000-07:00

Seth read the baby (Riley Elizabeth) a story the other day!! Riley loves to hear her daddy talk! She wiggled around in my belly the whole time he read to her! It was great! Seth hasn't been able to feel her moving, but hopefully he will soon!

This is what my mom and I will be using to make the crib bedding. The stripes will be the bumper and the bottom one will be for the bed skirt.

The Ultrasound

2008-07-09T08:15:00.001-07:00

The ultrasound was so exciting for Seth and I. My mom and friend Rachel were able to be with us to witness the tiny blessing. During the ultrasound the tech checked all the baby's organs, weight, and heart beat. The tech said the baby looks healthy, weighs 10 oz. (so tiny), and has a heart beat of 153. She is developing great!!! After the nurse checked all the important things... she searched for the sex. The baby was a little shy at first, keeping her legs crossed at her ankles. After I rolled from side to side the baby finally started to move. We were able to get some good pictures showing us she is a girl....at this point Seth went into shock and did not say much after finding out we were having a girl. Seth was sure we were having a boy. We were able to see the baby sucking her thumb. She kept her legs crossed at her ankles and had them sticking straight up in the air at one point she put both arms behind her head....just relaxing. We had such a great time seeing the baby and hope you enjoy the ultrasound pictures.
