4th of July

We had a great 4th of July! Tyler and Tanner got back from EFY that morning and our friends the Grisham's came over that evening for a barbecue. We enjoyed lots of great food, then set off some of our own fireworks along with our neighbors.

Tyler and Tanner thought it was fun to hold the fireworks while they were going off until Tyler dropped one and singed some of his leg hairs. Then Tanner lit a handful of sparklers in his hand and they exploded!

All Smiles!

Reagan is already full of smiles! Pretty much all you have to do is smile at her and she'll smile back! Sorry, this isn't the best video, I took it on my phone.

Who's, who?

People keep asking if Reagan looks like Lorelai did as a baby, you be the judge here is a picture of each of them!

More Reagan

We were able to come home Sunday morning, then Sunday evening Grandma Miller arrived and spent the next week taking care of us. The day after she left Grandma Dixon came and took care of us some more. Lorelai loved all the special attention and I loved having so much help and just enjoyed having them each here! Reagan has been a great baby from day 1, she eats good, and sleeps really good! Lorelai loves her little sister and really likes to help any way she can!

Our Family

Grandma Miller bought the girls these cute matching dresses, it was so fun

to dress them up cute for church like this!

Grandma Dixon and Reagan

Lorelai loves to hold Reagan for a few seconds at a time, but we've really had to

work on teaching to use her hands to hold her up : )

Lorelai already loves her sister!

Here's the Story

I know it has taken me forever to update, but there's been a lot going on. So let's start at the beginning; Reagan's entrance into the world!

Friday, May 22nd;

-Went to the doctor very distraught that Reagan was still not here, the doctor informed me my cervix was very posterior which was probably why she hadn't come yet and tried to move it forward hoping that would help put me into labor.

-At about 5:30p.m. while playing at the park with Lorelai the contractions began but were still far apart and minor.

-Approx. 8 p.m. we dropped Lorelai off at our friend's house to spend the night and headed to the hospital.

-approx. 9:30 returned home after being told that despite being dilated to a 4 I was either in early labor or my body was just responding to what the doctor had done.

Saturday, May 23rd

-woke up around 1:30 a.m. when my contractions started getting stronger and left again for the hospital around 4:30 in serious pain!

-admitted into the hospital, got the epidural, once it kicked in the doctor broke my water.

-Minutes later I began pushing, on the 3rd contraction she was here!

Lorelai was such a good girl when we were waiting to get Reagan back from her tests so that we could get discharged, she just sat in the room and read her books!

Our pretty little girl!
