So when I started feeling something a little different than the "normal" Braxton-Hicks type thing--I woke Mike up and we decided to take a ride...we left home (after bundling the kids into the car--really really fast) at around midnight.
The hospital clocked us in at 12:55am and Rian Liya made her entrance at 1:08am on Saturday, April 25th. We made it to the hospital with 13 minutes to spare. THANKFULLY!!!!!!!!!! I had the shower curtain in the car just in case... :)
Sherilyn met us at the hospital and took the kids (can't thank you enough)--No, they were not present for the birth.
Rian was born weighing 7lb13oz and 20 inches long--our smallest one yet. She has the most hair of all the kids. Here are some pics:
Moments after birth:
Later in the day after being cleaned up..
Rena, meet Rian. Carina has been having a bit of a rough time adjusting to having a new sister--but each day is a little bit better. She still has yet to hold Rian, but she loves touching her hands and hair.
Michael, meet Rian. What a good big brother!
The kids at the hospital.
Michael, meet Rian. What a good big brother!
The kids at the hospital.ALL the kids at the hospital: Estrella, Michael, Rena, & Eric..it was hot those days!!!
Ready to go home...what a peanut!!
Finally home..it is amazing how much little ones change in the first few days and weeks..Rian is so far a pretty good sleeper. She is only up 1-2 times per night--I cannot complain about that, being she is only 9 days old!!!
We have certainly been blessed.
Gotta go..more to follow.

Thanks so much for the pictures. That last one of Rian is so adorable- you always have such beautiful newborns (and kids:-)! Sorry we couldn't come visit in the hospital- our kids were sick, so we'll have to meet little Rian soon. Welcome Rian!
