Lainey meets her little brother

We got home this afternoon and were so excited to see Lainey and introduce her to Beau. She has been fascinated with him all day and just asked, "hold baby?" tonight. She pointed out his toes, eyes, ears, nose, hair, and mouth and has made sure he always has his pacifier and has been giving him big smooches all afternoon. She has been a great helper, bringing wipes and diapers over to us and just hanging out on the couch. It's a dream come true to see my family all together and complete at last.

Introducing......

Beau Davis Reid made his appearance this evening at 8:25pm, weighing exactly 7 pounds and measuring exactly 19 inches. By 8:26p, I had fallen in love and by 9pm he had already earned the nicknames Squeakers and Spike. After being in the hospital laboring all day, Jennifer pushed just one time and out he came. Everyone, including Jennifer, was in shock at how fast he arrived. I scored and got to be the first to hold the new man in my life. One of the best moments of my life. He's getting his first bath in the morning and you just know there will be another photo session after.
