Meet Reagan Victoria Barry! Born January 19, 2011 at 8:23 am.
The Breakdown of Events:
We were admitted around 5:00 pm. Entered labor'land around 6:30. Experienced the wonderful world of contractions. Kindly requested that the epidural begin IMMEDIATELY. After a wonderful night of sleep with my friend "the epidural", I was gently awakened by the nurse around 6:00 am with the news that I was at 10 cm and it was time to think about pushing. Jim and I couldn't believe it!
The amazing Doctor Flora entered the room soon after... decided that Reagan wanted to "stay put" and not come out, so the vacuum was brought out and procedures took place.
After 15 minutes of pushing... Reagan entered this world! I could not have asked for a better experience! Jim was AMAZING! The nurses were WONDERFUL! My doctor was FANTASTIC! And my baby girl.... brought me pure peace, joy, and love!
It has been a week and one day TODAY! And it feels like a minute..but I could never imagine my life without her in it!
As of yet....
- We have experienced her first car ride to the doctors office on Monday. I think Jim and I will recover soon.
- We have mastered the art of changing poopy diapers.
- Gave her her first bath, which was not as painful for me as I thought it would be.
- And have gazed at her for endless hours in awe of every move she makes... she is AWESOME!
We want to thank everyone for the kind emails, texts, gifts that we have received. Jim and I have been blessed with the showering of support from our family and friends. It has ALLLLL been greatly appreciated! We will get around to our thank you cards when things settled down.... in 18 years!
A HUGE thank you to Auntie Kelley for arranging the "Meal Train"! Our dear friends have been gracing us with their delicious meals and smiles every othernight since we have been home! Jim wants to continue this for the remaining of 2011! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
Jim has been busy being a PROUD dad and has been taping his sweet daughter...
