She's Here!

Reece Emerson Jones arrived January 27th at 12:24pm. She weighed 7lbs 15oz, and is 20 1/4 inches long. I had a very short labor and only pushed 3-4 times. Somehow though Reece's left clavicle was broken and we are having to deal with that. Other than that everything went great! She is absolutely beautiful and looks like a miniature Bailey. She is sleeping anywhere from 3-4 hours in between feedings and seems to be an easy baby thus far. We left the hospital after 24hours so that we could make sure to avoid getting stuck in the hospital because of the weather. We stayed the first night at my Mom's just in case we lost power. They are on city water and would at least have water where we would not. The snow and ice are beautiful but I would have rather skipped it all. Bailey is in love with Reece and says often "I hold that baby". It has been difficult though because she has a fresh cold and is sneezing and coughing all over the place. So, we are stuck between whether to tell her to stay away from the baby or to just let be. Soooo frustrating. We had her well baby visit today and she now weighs 7lbs 5oz, a whole pound lighter than Bailey when she was born and man what a difference it makes. She feels so light. Paul has become super Dad and I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate it. He was wonderfully supportive during labor and is doing so much around the house to keep everything in order and everyone happy. We are loving being the parents of two and can't wait to see all the adventure it may bring. We hope to see everyone soon!
