Welcome Riley Scott!

Sorry it's been so long!  As you know, a lot has been going on.  We made it through Thanksgiving and then welcomed Riley Scott Merrick to the family on Dec 14th at 10:30 am after about 3 hours of labor (and thank goodness because my epidural was almost completely ineffective on the left side!).  He weighed in at 7 lbs 13 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long.  Emerson has been such a great big brother. Aside from being a little more sensitive, he seems mostly unaffected by it. He loves to give Riley big slobbery kisses on his head.  My mom has been here to help for most of the first two weeks which has been wonderful. I have not had a chance to upload Christmas pictures yet, but it was great! Those will be coming soon along with an update after Riley's two week check up which is scheduled tomorrow.  Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday and please have a safe New Year!
