Introducing Emilee Ryan.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled Tasty Tuesday to bring you some EXCITING news!

Emilee Ryan W********* was born at 11:01pm on Friday, July 29, 2011. A little under a month early. She weighed 5.5 lbs and was 18" long.

(True story - I was also premature and weighed a little over 5.5 lbs. My booty was so little my parents had to put me in Cabbage Patch Kids diapers!)

Since Emilee was so early, she delveloped neonatal jaundice (thank you Wikipedia) and had to stay under the lights for her first couple of days. 

I finally got to meet this sweet little nugget yesterday after work!

Congratulations to Leslie & Tyler!

It's a Girl! (not mine though)

Leslie & Tyler are having a baby girl!

Leslie and I grew up in the same neighborhood and have been friends since we were in the 1st grade. We did it all together - karate, horseback riding, seeing who could ride our bikes around the neighborhood the fastest, etc. In 2008, I had the pleasure of being her maid of honor in her wedding. When I found out she was expecting, I was BEYOND excited! I know that her and Tyler will be amazing parents and I can't wait to spoil that little girl with lots of pink things!

And because a blog is no fun without pics, here are some I found of Leslie and I..

Leslie's wedding day.  (Early on at the reception.)

Later in the evening at the reception, obvi. Look at that big ass cup of wine in my hand. Omg. I tackled my mom on the couch later that night if that tells you anything. Literally ran full speed through the house and tackled her.  :)

My 26th birthday.
