Happy Birthday Sweet Baby Reese!

Tomorrow at 9:07 am Baby Reese will turn one! It seems impossible to me!! This has by far been the fastest year of my life. In looking back over the blog from the past year I realized that I didn't blog very much in the beginning and I never really said much about Reese's actual birth. I'm certain I was busy..go figure! Anyhow I want to document it before I forget and in case I get hit by a bus Reese will have her birth story in writing.

As my pregnancy neared the end Dr B. said that she thought Reese would for sure make her grand entrance into the world by Halloween. Needless to say that by November 6th when Reese finally arrived I was miserable, cranky and "done" being pregnant! In the week prior to her birth I tried everything to "evict" her. Spicy food, essential oils, walking, etc...and NOTHING! Finally on the night of the 5th I just couldn't fall asleep and decided to get up around midnight. When I got up my water broke and I woke Bob. We took our time and headed to the hospital around 1am. Since it was so late we had to be buzzed into the maternity floor and a nurse came to greet us. She was GRUMPY and she asked us what we wanted...Mr Funny guy, aka Bob, said that I had stubbed my toe and needed to see a Doctor. This made Grumpy nurse MAD and the evening only went downhill from there. Thankfully Grumpy nurse (who we nicknamed but I won't post it) went home before I delivered Reese. Being a first time Mom I was really scared and nervous about labor. It was so much better then I was expecting, I pushed for less then 5 minutes and was so relieved by how easy it was.


Reese has been a wonderful blessing to our lives. We love her dearly. I will post more pics from the celebration soon!
