The girls first moments

So as you know Audrey Clara (named for Jared's Bubby Clara) and Sophia Jetta (named for my grandmother Jetta) made their grand entrance on October 15, 2009 they were 5lbs 9ozs 20inches and 6lbs 2ozs and 21inches respectively. After 39 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy my doctor said I was "pushing it" and needed to be induced. So I arrived at the hospital around 7:30am and after only 8 hours of labor I delivered the girls they were six minutes apart and things went better than I had anticipated. Here are a few shots from their first moments.


I only look half way decent because nurses tried to make me look good, they were fixing my hair and making me laugh, they were wonderful....


This is Audrey

This is Sophia

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog site, We are officially retiring gabirose.blogspot.com. In all fairness to Audrey and Sophia,(and really now that I am a mom of 3 girls maintaining 2 sites is a little much) we decided to create one site for the Reiss Sisters. I am slowly finding time to add pics so check back often or become a follower! - Kristen
