Well, I thought I’d check in with everyone just to say, things are perfect.
I’m sitting here looking at my husband and little Riley sleeping soundly and feel such peace. The last 3 days all kind of mesh into one of the strangest adventures I’ve ever encountered and I feel so filled with joy that it’s hard to explain. I find myself staring at Riley’s every little feature and just thinking about how perfect everything seems. It’s funny, I remember the nurse saying to me in the delivery room, “Are you ready to start pushing, she’s just about here?” and Chris and I looked at each other completely overwhelmed with this heavy question in the air knowing these were our last moments as just a couple and truthfully, we were unsure how to answer; overwhelmed from lack of sleep, this question seemed so crazy and bizarre at that very moment.
All I can say is, Riley has now filled a piece of my heart that I never knew existed. We are still gangly new parents, but we now make up our own little family – I couldn’t imagine things being any more perfect.

Good lord ... is it like a requirement that to be in the Lane family tree you have to write incredibly well?
Chris' writings always make me laugh out loud and this one from you is getting me a wee bit emotional ... like that commercial with the father who carries his daughter's monkey stuffed animal all over the world and takes pictures of it. Man, who knew I'd be this big of a sap at 24.
Great to hear you guys are doing so well. Thinking of you and RILEY often often often.

Sarah, I think you have quite a way with words. I must say, I love that commercial with the stuffed monkey - good to know I'm not the only crazy one who cries everytime they watch it. :)
