Sharmaine Spain, the baby's aunt, said Riley has her mom’s lips and her father’s nose.
“I’m glad it’s over,” Moten, who works at Joint Base Andrews as a medical clerk, said. “It was fun being pregnant during the holidays. For a while I thought she might be born on Christmas. And I got to eat a lot of food, especially on Thanksgiving—because I used the excuse that I was pregnant."
