SHE'S HERE!!!!

So the day finally came! Monroe was born on October 24, 2009 at 12:48 AM. She was a shocking 8 pounds 14 oz and 20 inches long. Born with a full head of beautiful brown hair and a nose like her daddys. The labor wasn't the easiest experience. I started going into hard labor around 9 Thursday night. Luke and I toughed it out at home till around 12 and then decided to go to the hospital. Once we got there my water broke around 12:15 and we were then admitted right away. We had thought that the labor would have been a much quicker process since my water had broken but little did we know that we were in for a 24 hour stretch. The doctors thought that we would have a normal delivery but around 10:30 they decided to do a c-section due to Roe's head being a little too large, the opening being a little too small, and she weighed just a little too much. Finally 2 hours and much stress later we welcomed our precious little angel into the world. Luke and I couldn't be happier. We just feel so blessed to have Monroe in our lives. We're just trying to take every minute in and we thank all of our family and friends for your best wishes. Things are still a little hectic right now but we promise to get pictures up shortly after we get home which should be no later than Tuesday. Thanks again to all of our family and friends that helped us at the hospital. We love you all!!

Love,

Riley Luke and Monroe
