This Christmas

We got home from the hospital Christmas Eve so we laid low for the day. We read the Nativity and had a quiet night making some treats for Santa and Jeff made us a huge dinner (turkey and all the fixings). Then we went to bed late and got up early, but it was a wonderful day with all of us together. And we even fit in some naps!
Santa filled our stockings and left us presents.
Well, after seeing what Santa brought, someone got really excited.
You would think we got a puppy for Christmas, but nope...Harrison was too excited to stop playing and had his first accident in months and his first ever on the carpet. Oh-well, it's Christmas!
We kept the lights low and had a fire with the tree lights. It was an awesome morning.
Covered in her presents.
Trying out Daddy's (and Mommy's) new XBox with Kinect.
Harrison picked out a present for Raegan...a car of course, but it is just for her. He loves to make sure she has it with her all the time.
Loving this present thing!
Baby's first Christmas.
Making sure we got everything.
Bright eyed girl.
Jeff thinks I was trying to torture her, but I had a picture of Harrison in his stocking for his first Christmas and I wanted one for her. Her stocking is a lot smaller then his was that year!Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Sun Bathing!

Well, we have been home for a few days and our little girl is now 5 days. Already I feel like it is going too fast. She is already figuring out her days and nights and I get about 4 hours of sleep for 2 stretches of the night. She goes about another 2 hours but by then Harrison is up. She is a good eater, a good sleeper and has times where she is very alert. She is happy in her chair, her bed and loves being held and we love snuggling her. She is a bit on the jaundice side so we took advantage of the sun today and got her some rays! She seemed to enjoy it!








(that is a yawn!)

Happy Birthday!

Raegan Lin Ward has arrived. Born Dec. 22, 2011. 12:45 pm. 7lb. 12 oz. 19 3/4 in. long. We are all doing great! Here are some pictures of her first 24 hours.

T'was the Day Before Labor

What do you do the day before you go into labor? Well, knowing you are going into labor helps a lot so I made the most of the day. I was all over trying to get things squared away so I can relax (yea I know, not going to happen) after the baby comes.
But the fun part of my day was letting Harrison pick one more Mommy/Harrison activity before the little sister gets in the way. And what did he pick...the zoo. We only stayed for 2 hours, but had a great time!


And like I said, tomorrow is the big day, so look for some pictures of a new baby in a few days! I'll probably get pictures on Facebook sooner, but I'll do the best I can!
39 weeks and the night before induction.
Our family of 3 and almost 4!
I can't wait to get this little girl here!
