Selena Rose Riston was born on Feb 3, 1999 at 9:43am.  The doctor, nurses, dad, and mom had gaping mouths when they saw how big she was -- weighing 10lbs and measuring 21 inches in length.   Her APGAR was 9 and 9. 

Hilda's water broke on Feb 2, at 3:30am.  She went to the doctors office at 9:30am.   The doctor sent her home with orders to call at 3pm if no contractions had begun.   At 5:30pm we checked into the hospital where Hilda was induced.  She began labor around 8:00pm and labored in pain all through the night until 6am. That's when she received an epidural.   Hilda started pushing at 8:30am.   Selena Rose arrived at 9:43am.   See the pictures below for the wonder that God has created.
