She's Here!!


On July 31st (yes that was 2 1/2 months ago -- give a new mother a break!) at 8:08 am, our darling Rylee Elizabeth entered this world at 7 lbs 14 oz and 19 1/4 inches. She was screaming before Dr. Krum could get her out fully! (Apparently C-section babies have a harder time clearing out the lungs of goo and crying helps this process)

She is named after my maternal grandmother - Mary Lee Zerngast and Chad's paternal grandmother Beth Martin.

We really love using the name Lee because it also includes two very important women in our lives Leigh Anne Rathbun and Jessica Lee Espinoza. It truly means so much that we could give them Rylee as a name sake.

The Elizabeth (or as Emily Farr calls her Rylee "A Little Bit" Martin) portion of her name also ties her back to my mother's maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Burkhart and my father's maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Collins.

So Rylee will have a sense of family and love with all those strong amazing women whose names she carries.
