4 days?...
4 day pictures with a 2 week update at 3 weeks old... I am going to say pretty good for a mom of three with little sleep and the inability to do anything extra at the moment. Reagan is one precious little girl, and such a great baby! 3 good babies...maybe we should stop while we are ahead:-)
At two weeks, Reagan weighed 9lbs 8 oz and 21 1/2 inches long. Both in the 80th percentile. Our sweet girl is growing well, and looks great. Mason loves his sister to pieces, but often gets in trouble for being too rough with her. For the 1st two weeks, Micah payed absolutely no attention to her, as if she was not even in the room. Now she will say "Hi baby!" and rub her head saying, "Shhhh". She is coming around.
Mom is adjusting. The hardest part is that Reagan usually eats between 4 -5 and by the time I feed her and get her back to sleep, Mason is up at 6:00. Makes for a long day, especially if I can't get a nap. I remind myself that this season is so short, and I wouldn't trade it for the world!
These are Reagan's 4 day pictures as I did with Mason and Micah. Here are the links to their newborn pictures... who does she look like?

Eggs...
Mason loves anything that has to do with "science". To him, dying Easter eggs is science. Before Easter while Reagan was asleep, Mason, Micah and I dyed some eggs. Mason was in little boy heaven. He asked if we could do it everyday! Micah was interested for a little bit, I think they took too long to change colors for her.

Birth Story...
After being told we could have our baby any day for almost four weeks, we were induced on March 20th. We had to be at the hospital at 5:15, so needless to say we had little sleep that night. We were excited to meet our sweet blessing, and I was quite uncomfortable. We checked in and started the pitocin. I got my epidural and hardly felt it. I even took a little nap, and thought this is so much easier this time. I guess that is what happens for your 3rd right... you deserve an easy delivery. I know better than that!
At about 11:30 I started feeling a lot of pressure every minute. I called the nurse in, and she called the anesthesiologist. With Micah my epidural partially wore off, so she was prepared. She gave me some extra something and said by 11:50 I wouldn't feel a thing. Well we didn't make it to 11:50 and no pain. I knew our baby was coming and coming fast. They paged my doctor while I was in lots of pain. I was yelling and squirming like you see in the movies. He walked in and said "Why isn't her epidural working?" And then said don't push as he was trying to get ready. After what seemed like an eternity, but after two pushes we heard, "IT'S A GIRL!!" I had pictured the moment differently...one where I was not in so much pain. I said, "Why does it still hurt?"...Doctor V said, " Because you just had a 9 lb baby!" Yes that was part of it, but unfortunately the pain was not over with delivery and I will leave it at that. I personally don't know why a person would choose not a have an epidural!
Waiting to meet our sweet blessing!
