| "It's gonna be a boy. And we're gonna call him Walker Jesse." |
For the last 9 months, I've watched my best friend's body morph and stretch into something that I don't believe should be physically possible. From start to finish, from "I'm a couple days late." to "what are we gonna do with a girl?" to "she's probably gonna be a couple days late." - I've been patiently waiting for this kid to make it's grand entrance into the world. Even if we were going to have to call her Naomi for real, I was ready.

| "What in the world are we going to do with a GIRL?" |
The 9 months flew by - compared to how yesterday dragged on and on. As soon as my eyes opened yesterday morning, I had a text that informed me that she was having contractions 11 minutes apart.Through the whole 8 hours of work and the many updates that came as the day passed, I was thinking, "Wait for me D-Rail! Wait, Wait, Wait!"

| Sara looks like a little pumpkin! |
As soon as I got off work, and arrived at the hospital it suddenly changed to, "Go D-Rail, Go, Go, Go!" The next 5.5 hours in the Labor & Delivery unit involved a whole whirlwind of emotions. I was so excited I about peed myself when they said her water broke, I almost cried with her during a big contraction, I was anxious, impatient, nervous....you name it - but I was still ready.

| Waiting Patiently! |
Finally at 11:11 pm, just 49 minutes early, Ms. Sara Nichole Riddle entered this world weighing in at 9 whole pounds, and 19 inches long. She's healthy and absolutely beautiful!

| Nice to meet you, Sara Nichole Riddle. :) |
It's been an eventful trip down this road to motherhood with my little spoon. I'm sure I've asked more ridiculous questions and talked more about her stuff than she will ever be comfortable with. But no matter how much this whole process has creeped me out, I wouldn't have missed a minute of it! I'm very proud of her for being such a trooper, and I'm super happy that she finally has a little mini-me to mold into a totally awesome little redneck lady.
