Reese Elizabeth Birkholz


So we did it! Checked into hospital at 3:20am and had our little plump princess at 6:22am! I realize that 3 hours is an insanely short labor and I am not even sure how it happened so fast. I had an epidural that did weirdly wear off but again i was lucky because it only took 4 pushes and she was out! The craziest thing is that she weighs an amazing 9lbs. 7oz.!!!!!! She is also 20 inches long. She is so cute and also so funny to look at because she seriously is a huge butterball! She has eaten 3 times already.

I just love her so much. She is so expressive already and as we speak is cuddled up in Bill's arms taking a nap. I am in awe of her precious little personality already and am so excited she is mine and I get to take her home. My Mom and Bill were wonderful coaches and I could not have had such an easy time without them. They should go into business as birth coaches.

Big brother Henry is coming this afternoon and I am so excited to see what he thinks of his little sister. I also miss him and our family of four is not complete without him. We will keep you posted!
