Born 7.15.08
6:33pm
Weighing in at 8 lbs exactly
and 21.5 inches long
Our sweet blessing waited for her Daddy to get into
town from Colorado Springs before entering this world. Thus, I was in labor for 2 days, but it was well worth it. He arrived on 7.15.08 at midnight and she arrived 7.15.08 at 6:33pm after about 20 minutes of pushing. We were and are overwhelmed with joy and love for our little girl.
My eyes were shut while I was working so hard to bring this bundle of love into this world that by the time she arrived everyone had to tell me to open my eyes. I did and to my surprise there was Dr. Rupe holding baby girl's hand and waving Hi Mommy towards me. The bizarre part of this story is that only half of her body was out at the time. It was the craziest and the funniest thing I have ever seen. Needless, to say Iris Rose Reyburn was brought into this world surrounded by laughter. What better way could there be?
Also, to her Daddy's delight she was born just in time to watch 15 innings of the longest Allstar game in History!!!! She knows how to time things just right.
Thanks to everyone for all the prayers and best wishes. We are blessed to have a healthy and happy baby girl!!!
