I can't believe my baby BOY is a week old today. And what a week it has been.
There is so much that I want to blog about. So much.
I want to tell you about labor and delivery. I want to tell you about the moment I found out I had another son. I want to tell you about life with 3 kiddos {and how my newborn is 2438389347839 times better than my two toddlers.} I want to tell you about my recovery, my birth story, how amazing it was to share this experience with my little sister, who delivered her healthy baby girl just an hour before I delivered Reid.

I want to tell you about the fact that my good friend, Steph, was there in the delivery room as our birth photographer {and I can't wait to share those pictures with you!}
But mostly? I just wish I had time to tell you about all this stuff. This is literally the first time I've opened my Mac Book in days. Oh, but don't worry... I've seen every Facebook update and picture on Instagram since I delivered Reid a week ago. I often get bored because I wonder why no one has updated in the last two hours since I was on... the iPhone is the only thing I can do while I'm nursing Mr. Man, so I see everything. ;)
Now, this short little post may or may not have taken me 5 hours to write, but I'm glad I got a chance to check in with you guys. Even if all I got a chance to write about was telling you everything I plan to write about. Ahem.
Yesterday was my due date with Reid. I made a little side by side of my very last belly picture with him {the night before his birthday} and then our picture from yesterday, on his due date.
What a difference a week makes, huh? It just amazes me that he could even fit in there.
Overall, we're doing awesome. I feel good, I really do. Carter and Brynn adore Reid and they're really helping us take good care of him. It's the sweetest. We also have our newborn pictures this weekend and I can't wait for those as well.
And can I just say that I absolutely love that we can call him by his name. We haven't been able to do that this entire pregnancy and now we can. We can call him Reid. I love it. :)
I promise I will try to hit a few of the topics above this week. Promise.
Or I'll at least try to write about one of them... I don't want to see the bar too high for myself... I do have THREE kids now, after all.
