After over 18 weeks of contractions, she was just a bit bruised. We don't know what she was pushing up against, but her face was somewhat swollen at first. Of course, her daddy and I didn't care. She came out screaming...and healthy...and that was a total miracle. She had no NICU time - to repeat that - No NICU time! Totally amazing. We are so very blessed.
Sorry it's taken me a while to post. I've just been enjoying our time with her. She's a great baby and everything is going great. I'll update with more pics later, but wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and wishes and thoughts. Miss Riley definitely "took a village" to get here - and each one of you helped.
One more pic to leave you with...she has just a few bows:
