After a full day of induction, a good nights sleep and 2 hours of hard labor the next morning, Riley came rushing into the world in under 30 minutes. I guess once she decided to make her arrival she was in a hurry!! Chris did awesome through the whole labor - rubbing Jessyka's back and feet and being very encouraging. The delivery happened so fast he didn't have time to realize what was happening! Jessyka is my hero - she delivered that baby naturally, without an epidural and not a single cuss word came out of her mouth!!!!! I got a nice surprise when at the last minute the nurse snuck me into the delivery room so I was present for her arrival as well! It was a very emotional day - not so much because my granddaughter was born (which of course is just mind-blowing) but more about seeing my son become a father. You realize that your job is now done and it is his turn to take what you have taught him and pass it on to his daughter. Wow!!! That's heavy!! Anyway - I have a few pictures that I took with my phone but will post the others from my camera later. The miracle of life is just that....a miracle!!!
