Reid Alexander was born June 11, 2009 at 1:31 p.m. He weighed 8 lb. 3 oz. and was 19.5 inches long! BIG baby for less than a 37 weeker!! I won't go into all the details of the CRAZY week that preceded the event, but it ended in a pretty quick delivery by c-section!! NOT what I wanted, but by the time the Dr. called it, I was just plain ol' ready!!!! Me and Reid have both done great (although c-section one NOT be my first choice of delivery, my recovery really has been fairly easy)! Reid is currently strapped to a bili light because of jaundice! We really hope that ends soon, but he's still really yellow this morning, so we'll probably have at least one more day! We took him off the light twice last night while the storms blew through, so we lost a couple of hours... but I wasn't going to risk it!
OKAY OKAY... on to the pictures!
First time to hold Reid!
Exactly how Maclain used to sleep!
Big Brother warmly welcomes Reid home!
So precious!
Now that's "no drop" insurance!
Nightly "snuggle time"... Maclain no longer wants our snuggles... just Reid's!
Mommy's Men!There were several more that I wanted to post from the last few days, but didn't want to overload my blog!! If you want to see the rest from our "first 4 days" go to www.lawsongallery.com, click to enter site, then click on clients in the right hand corner. The password is reid1. I'll let you know when I swap them out for new ones! :) I can't wait to be able to walk up the stairs so I can get my newest little man in studio! You'll see those asap!!
Loving lifes blessings....

He is ADORABLE!! I just want to cuddle with him. I can't wait to see more pictures and hopefully see him again in person soon!!
PS... Did you get that basket from Brooke and I? We weren't sure on the room number.
YES!!! That was like THE best present EVER! :) I'm rationing everything... otherwise, I'd eat it all at once!! HA!! Maclain is quite the fan as well!! I grabbed my phone to send a quick message to let you know I had it, and for some reason, I don't have your number on my blackberry?! It was on my old phone! Anyway, THANK YOU!! That was so incredibly sweet of you both... and we'll be enjoying it for a while! :)
