You are six weeks old today and I can hardly believe how quickly the time has passed. I just love having your sweet spirit in our home. Im starting to guess what your personality will be like, Im thinking you will be on the calmer side and probably stubborn just like the rest of us Wagner/Reids! It is so precious when you get sad and Im comforting you, you keep whimpering for a little bit so I would call you a little dramatic, but its not surprising knowing myself and your big sister! Speaking of your sister she just loves you so much, she is always so interested in what you are doing, she wants to help feed, change, bathe you and give you your binky which usually ends with her shoving it in your mouth and you end up getting sad. She is so sweet to want to be my helper and she is so sweet with you, so many times in the day I will catch her next to you talking to you and giving you kisses on your head. Dad is so great with you too, I am so lucky to have him, he gets up with you at night to feed you so that I can sleep, he knows I dont function well with little sleep. He always comes home from work and immediately takes you in his arms and plays with CC in her room. He works so hard for our family and is so fun! We just love spending time all together.
Things can get crazy, when CC is throwing a tantrum, you are crying and fighting sleep and the house is a mess I can get so frustrated and flustered. I always dreamed of being a Mom, its harder than I thought it would be but so rewarding and so great at the same time. I just love staying home with you kids (most days! ) we have so much fun playing outside at the park, swimming, playing inside and going on outings.
We have adjusted pretty well to two kids, there have been easy times and lots of crazy times! Its been a bit of a blur.
Birth Story:
I realized I havent written your birth story, There is much excitement considering it was a planned C-section. I was so nervous for a couple of weeks before, I was worried mostly about the epidural because when I got it with Cecily it was very painful/traumatic. Gram Came two days before the big day so that she could be here to help watch Cecily and to help us adjust to having you home with us.
Friday May 14, 2010 we woke up around 7:30 am I got in the shower and got ready, I wasnt allowed to eat starting the night before so I skipped breakfast, Dad and I left for the hospital at 9:00 am I was worried CC would be sad when we left because she has a hard time with separating from me, plus I wouldn't be sleeping at home for a few nights but she did really great. We got to the hospital about 20 min later, Checked in and they immediatley started getting me ready for the surgery. I got my IV and they monitored my heart due to my palpitations and my heart murmur. The anesthesiologist came in and talked to me about the spinal, I expressed my concerns and felt confident in him. A little while later a student learning how to do spinals came in and got us to go down to the OR, I was really nervous he was going to do my spinal and wouldnt know how to do it, Luckily he was just helping. The nurses were great and let me squeeze their hands while they did my spinal, it was not painful at all and I was numb really quick, Dad then came in and sat next to my head.
You were out within 20 min, it was such a great noise hearing your little cry, My eyes filled with tears of Joy and I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with immense love for you and I hadnt even seen you yet. The nurses took care of you, Dad cut your cord, they wrapped you up and brought you over to me. Oh you were so beautiful and perfect! You were so Tiny too. I was in love at first sight. They took you (and Dad) to weigh and measure you, while I got stitched up. I met you and Dad in recovery. I just loved being able to hold you and have that special time with you and Dad my Two BOYS!!
The hospital stay was fine, I was anxious to get home where I wasnt being woken up every hour, between the nurses bring you in to eat (which I wanted) and the nurses checking me and giving me meds (I just wanted to sleep ) We worked on nursing you in the hospital and for a couple of weeks after we got home but I never produced enough milk so We used formula instead.
I just feel so blessed to be Cecily and your Mama, you are such blessings and such sweet kids. I never imagined the love I feel for both you !
