Bath & Chillin' & Bed.

Here's some bath pics,...I'm starting to get better with the whole bath thing. I mean I lived in water for 9 months,.so what's the big deal you ask? Well, Dad hasn't mastered keeping the water warm enough,..but he's getting better at it. Not a big fan of water being poured over our head either.

After my bath I got to wear some sweet Auburn duds like this Auburn jumper.

Then it was off to bed with my new friend "the womb" bear.

Night, night!

More of me.

Here's some more pics of me through the past 2 days or so. Can you believe I'm already over 1 week old?

Everyone knows my Daddy is a huge Star Wars fan. You knew it wouldn't be long before he had me join the fun:

Me, Daddy & a Stormtrooper. The Stormtrooper lives in our basement!

Me and Jabba the Hutt. Princess Leia doesn't have anything on me. All I need is a gold bikini and I'd fit right into the Star Wars universe.

Here's a funny video my Dad made with me and Yoda!

Reese's 1st Bath at Home


Sucle & Hiccup

Weesa Home!

Yeah,..we made it home, all together this time. Mom and Dad had to leave from the hospital before me. They came back to feed me, rock me, and visit often. Finally we all got to go home together.

Mom and Dad were all smiles about taking me home. Me, on the other hand,..I was a bit skiddish,..you know, it being my 1st trip outside and all.

I got buckled into my car seat. I was ready for the trip.The temperature wasn't as cold as it had been. Its nice to see the sun and breathe the fresh air.
Backseat driving! Ridin' Poopy! Home again,..for the 1st time!
Chillin' in my crib!

Gettin' Better.....

Things have improved alot! I'm doing so much better. After 48 hours of not turning blue the nice doctors decided I was going to be ok! That made me and the family very happy!

After alot of rest they took my IV out of my head. I could now wear my sweet Auburn cap again!
Being in the hospital made me and Mom & Dad very tired. Daddy & Me! Mommy & Me!
Sleepy time is my fav!

More pics from the hospital.

Hi again. Boy it's tough being a baby. I am still in NICU. I'm doing better, they are just watching me alot, making sure I don't turn blue. I'm learning to nurse some and take some food from the bottle too! I like to sleep, hold mommy & daddy's hands, be rocked and also like my back rubbed. what can I say,..I'm spoiled at the ripe old age of 2 Days Old! Here's some pics,... don't mind the IV in my head. That's how I get my medicine. Don't worry, I have a hard head & thick skin like my folks!

YUM! Dinner time!

Hello Mommy!

Hello Daddy!

I have fun playing with my hands!

This is the pretty hospital room door decoration with my name on it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REESE!!!

Well, I made it! After a night of ripening up Mommy's cervix and about 1 hr 40 min of pushing. I finally popped out at 11:58am on 2-15-07. I am 7lbs. 11 oz. and 20 3/4 inches long. I've got red hair like my Daddy! I have my Mom's nose and long fingers. I like to cry! Somtimes I turn a little blue when I get upset, so they are taking extra special care of me in NICU. I'm happy to be here and can't wait to meet all of you.

My 1st Weighing!

Last Blog Before Birth!

Before my debut at the end of the week the finishing touches were put on my room. Its taken alot of sweat, but Mom and Dad have done well! Its so pretty, I can't wait for everyone to come and see it!





My chest of drawers finally arrived and its got tons of room for my ever expanding wardrobe. The little picture frame on top will soon have a pic of me in it. The frame says, "The Princess Has Arrived". My name is on the wall! No turning back now,..I'm Reese,...and don't you forget it!

I also got some beautiful butterflies from my Aunt Alex and Uncle Bill.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday! Until then I'm going to enjoy my last couple of days of pease and quiet. I got a big journey ahead of me,..gonna get some shut eye!

I have an arrival date,...maybe.

So, I think Mom is ready to have me, however, I'm just being stubborn and want to hang out upside down in utero for a while longer. After the doctor poked me in the head a few times today he told Mom & Dad that if I hadn't come by myself by next Wed (Valentines Day) that he'd give Mom some medicine that would MAKE me come out the next day (Feb 15th). I just think that's mean,...kind of like having to cut a vacation short. I mean,..can't I have my full 40 weeks of vacation before being thrust into the world? Anyway,...Things are about ready for me in the house, my room is shaping up nicely, here's some pics:

My room filled with all my shower goodies.

My kicking new wardrobe.

My new Changing Table & Lamp.

New Nightstand, and the rocker my Dad was rocked in when he was a baby.

Mom, Dad, and My Bags are packed and ready!

The room is almost done,..just needs the new chest of drawers and ME!
