IRIS ROSE REYBURN Born 7.15.08

FROM THERE TO HERE....

IRIS ROSE REYBURN

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!!!

38 WEEKS PREGGO....

And feeling every bit of it. By far, floating the belly in the pool is the most comfortable thing in the world. I love being pregnant in the summer. Heck, she may even come out w/a little tan. :)

Well, we can't wait to meet our lil' one and it is just around the corner. I rediscovered my ribs over the weekend so I can definitely tell that she has dropped. It is funny to see them again. Who knew that would be such a big deal. Ha!
Everything is pretty much ready and that is a load off my mind. My dr is out of town this week so I'm afraid I might go into labor at anytime. Hopefully, she can hold out until DJ makes it home on Monday the 14th.

Hope every one had a happy 4th and we can't wait to see everyone!!! Much Love

Almost baby time....

Well, I am now daring to post a photo of the bare belly bump at it's largest. I have been living at my Granny's pool on the weekend. It sure is nice to lose all that gravity and float the belly. Well here I am almost ready to pop. Pregnancy is the wildest experience of my life. Baby girl is doing great and has dropped. She is getting ready for the big day. Apparently, that requires many forceful kicks to the ribs. It is very strange to push a foot off your rib cage. Bazaar! I can't wait to meet her and DJ will be home in 13 days! When he gets here it will really set in that Baby Girl will be here any day. He might freak when he sees our apt. It looks like a baby store exploded in here. I don't think one more thing can fit. It definitely makes it all the more exciting.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE CALL....

Well, if you haven't heard yet---DJ'S GOING TO THE BIG LEAGUE'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He got the call on Thursday and will be working for 6 days starting Tuesday 6/10. He will spend 3 days in Oakland and 3 in Seattle. What a blessing just before our little blessing arrives!!!!

On the baby front, I start childbirth education classes at 9am tomorrow. Thanks goodness my wonderful mother has agreed to go with me. It should be informative from what I hear and any advice is welcomed.

I'll continue to keep you guys posted. Holla!
