Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been around..... I've had a ton going on! My uncle passed away last Tuesday suddenly due to what they are saying was a massive heart attack. He had no signs of heart problems in the past, so they did an autopsy and we are still waiting on results. He was 44 years old, my mom's only brother, and I was very close to him. I am still in shock over this and really can't get it in my head that he's gone. He had battled cancer since a very young age, lost one of his legs and one of his eyes to cancer, and now, he lost his life to something that we really don't know what caused it. The funeral was on Saturday, the 25th, I prayed that the baby would stay in until then, and she did! I had contractions that whole day, very bad, and finally at about 11pm they stared to get regular. I went in to the hospital at 1am and they induced me a couple of hours later due to swelling and very high blood pressure. Reagan Ashlee came into the world at 10:40 am on Monday November 26. She weighed 7lbs 14oz and was 21 inches long. She is the sweetest thing ever! She is a true blessing to my family after having such a tracgic loss last week. She helps to ease some of the pain. I know it was God's will that I was overdue by 3 days and she couldn't have come at a more perfect time! I'll add a pic of her but I have a ton more. I'll update later when I get everything back in order... right now... I need some sleep!    |

Em,
I get to be first to say CONGRATS on the arrival of Reagan. She is beautiful!!!
so sorry to hear about your Uncle -- my condolences as well
Isnt' that the way though that when some one passes someone is born. It doesn't erase the sadness but it does bring joy to lighten the grief. I hope your daughter's presence will continue to do that for all of you.
Oh and about the sleep??? grab it now whenever you can, cuz for rest of your life you'll never get enough LOL
Hugs to you and so glad all went well -- good to see you!
