Birth of Marina Ryan

Akiko, after her water broke, in the hospital with 
the fetal heart rate monitor strapped to her tummy.
 Happy Birthday Marina Ryan! Sunday August 5, 2012 7:07am
 Daddy feeding Marina. She been on breast milk ever since we left the hospital.
 We stopped by Akiko's parents house on the way home from 
the hospital so her grandmother could see Marina, her 9th great-grandchild.
 At home bonding with Marina. It's scary having to care for this 
tiny little thing but every day we get a little bit more confident and comfortable.
