Happy Birthday Baby RILEY!!!

Hi guys, this is Kari, Kristen's sister and I wanted to give everyone an update along with a few photos!  Kristen started having contractions yesterday morning and although the doctor did not think it was time for her to come in, by friday evening her contractions were severe and her and Matt headed to the hospital determined not to come home alone!  Kristen was indeed in full labor and they admitted her!  Kris received her epidural sometime around 2 am and after getting a little shut eye here and there they started pushing around 8 am. Two hours later sweet baby Riley Grace joined this world at exactly 10:08 am weighing in at 4 lb and 13 oz measuring 18 inches long!!!  Mom is doing great and dad is a big ball of emotions, it seems our sweet baby Riley is a picture of perfection and she has melted the hearts of those around her.  I actually did not make it to the birth (Kristen's parents and I hopped the first flight we could get this morning and were just shy of an hour late) but Matt got some amazing shots of the birth which I am sure he will share very soon, until then enjoy my favorite images from the first few hours of the newest member of the Crowe family!
