After getting cleaned up - holding Daddy's hand
Waiting for Mom to get "sewed up" after surgery.
With Aunt Mare an hour old! She was the first to see me besides Mom and Dad....
With my buddy, Jayce Cooper VandenHout. He's only 11 weeks older than me but look how big he is!!
Daddy getting ready for surgery! Hilarious!
Reagan getting her Big Sister presents from Charlie - a pink Basketball - her favorite. She thanked Charlie over and over again and wanted him to hold it!
Reagan holding her little brother for the first time! She was so happy!
The bets were on to see who he'd look like - to much shock - again - he is blonde and blue-eyed! Who would have thought I'd have TWO kids that have light hair and eyes! He, again, he looks like his Dad! Charlie is already a State Fan!! We would expect nothing less!
He was not eating very well for the first 24 hours but with help - he is now eating like a champ and doing REALLY well! I'm so happy and relieved!
Reagan is LOVING being a big sister! She showers him with attention and affection when she is here. She is very kind to him and tells everyone that "Baby Charlie" is her baby.
Thanks to everyone that visited us in the hospital! We appreciate you fighting the traffic and construction! We are heading for home tomorrow afternoon and are excited about getting settled in as a family of four!!

How wonderful!! He truly is a blessing. You have a little boy neighbor to the north too. ;) Johanna had a boy this evening. She ended up a C- Section. I will be going down tomorrow, so I'll check to see if you are still there and give you those mittens. Hugs girly!!!
We are so happy for you! It actually went by fast and soon Charlie and Tommy will be running around. When you get settled at home we want to come over and bring you dinner (don't worry it will be take out!) and Tom can't wait to see your little guy.
