Reagan's Birthday... October 21, 2008

Pregnant with Reagan,
Reagan's Birthdays
Well, it looks like Reagan listened to her daddy, who said all along that she would come 2 weeks early. Exactly 38 weeks, Tuesday morning, I got up at 6:30 to go to the bathroom and my water broke. I called the hospital and was told to come then, but I decided to get in my shower first, since I wan't having contractions or in any pain. I could sit in that hospital bed all day for all I knew, and what's 10 extra minutes? Wrong! I figured out what contractions felt like by the end of my shower, and Junior was starting the car before I was dressed. We were a half a mile down the road and I had already had 4 contractions, strong! 


We waited about 20 minutes for my doctor to get out of a meeting, and at 11:20, she was suited up and ready for pushing. The pushing really wasn't painful at all, and I apparently did well with it, because she was born by 12:20pm. I had a wonderful doctor, nurse and support with my husband there. Both of our mothers were there too
.


Reagan is really the prettiest baby we've ever seen. There are no words to explain the way we feel right now, but let's just say I've cried a whole lot of happy tears since she came into our lives.
