We are so proud and blessed to introduce our son, Reid Philip! He was born Monday, September 28 at 4:07AM. He weighed in at 7lbs, 13 oz and is 20 inches tall.
We were all set to head to the hospital on Wednesday, with the grandparents rolling in Tuesday night, but Reid had toasted enough in the oven and so early Monday morning he let us know he was ready. My water broke around 12:30AM and with the help of our dear friend "Miss Manda", to come and sleep over with Luke, we headed to the hospital. Thankfully they got us to the O.R. quickly because with water breaking comes not so fun contractions. I'm just glad I didn't have them for 25+ hours like when Luke was born. He was still turned breech, so they prepped for the c-section and he was here at 4:07AM.
He was (and still is) perfect, and I kept sending Ross over to check on him because I didn't get to see him for 10-15 minutes, which felt like an eternity. At first, we thought he looked like Luke, but as the hours passed, we could tell he had his own unique and super cute look. I think he has my eyes, but Ross' mouth and cheeks (from looking at his baby pictures). He is such a sweet sweet baby. He loves to cuddle, and is a great eater. When we went back to the his doctor of Friday he was 2 ounces shy of his birth weight. He is such a little love bug and because this is our second time around, I feel like I have been able to soak up the experience so much more and just enjoy this newborn phase. I know it will go by so fast, and it's such a precious time for me.
I will try my best to keep the updates flowing, but if they are a little few and far between you know why. ;)

Congrats on your new baby boy! What a beautiful family of four!
Okay...couple things...
First off, Ash, you look BEAUTIFUL! Pregnancy and motherhood just suit you so well. Even after surgery.
Secondly, little Reid is ADORABLE! I just love little newborn everything. I do think he looks like Ross in some of those shots.
Lastly, like you, we are feeling SO blessed to have another baby, that we are even enjoying the middle of the night wake up calls. Seriously...I'm exhausted, but I don't care. I know he'll be a toddler before I know it and I'll miss this stuff. Soak it up, right?!
Love you guys! Can't wait to meet him!
