Splish splash I was taking a bath..

Here is Reagan's very first bath right after she was born. The nurse got her all clean so that when I finally got to hold her she was perfect for me.

Here is Reagan's very first bath at home and she did not like it one bit at all. I was so scared and probably didn't put enough water in to keep her warm enough but little babies are very slippery when they are wet and I was very scared that I might drop her, so there wasn't much water in the sink.

This is not my first bath but this is the first bath that I enjoyed. Mom is still nervous to give me my bath, but now I think that I kind of like it.

Reagans Blessing

I know that these are old pictures and old posts but I need to catch up. Here are pictures from the day that Reagan was blessed. Her dad blessed her and her grandpa Lehnhausen and her uncle Jeremy and his dad Steve stood in the circle. Scott was so nervous to give the blessing and just kept worrying about (it was so cute). I of course cried thru the whole thing, I was just so happy to have our little girl and that Scott lives worthily to give her her blessing.

Here she is all ready to go to church, it is hard to remember that she was so small. I this picture is also the blanket that Lindi made for her with a little bit of Laura's help.

Here we are with both of Regan's grandmas after she was blessed.


Vicky Huston made us this dress for Reagan to be blessed in, it is just so pretty.


Reagan just loves her pacifier so it is very rare to get a good picture of her without it.

If you look close at the blanket, Lindi had Laura embroider Reagan's name onto the blanket and the date that she was blessed. Thanks again girls I love it.

4 generations

At Christmas when we were taking the yearly family picture we got this great picture with 4 generations of the Lehnhausen family.

Reagan

New baby in the house

I am all set and ready to go after I take a quick nap in my favorite chair.



Grandma Pat gave me this bear so that I could sleep better and my parents could sleep better also. (The bear plays white noise like womb sounds to comfort babies)

I have a lot to think about, but I am just so sleepy.



I am just to cute.

You can't see it but I have a cute kitty cat on my butt, thanks again Grandma Pat for the outfit.

I spent 4 days at the hospital and by then I was ready to get out and go home. Scott was so great when we got home and he waited on me hand and foot. He made me breakfast in bed and did a lot of the diaper changes for me (he even put the diaper on right).

Some people say that babies don't know what they like before they are born but I beg to differ. When Reagan was in the hospital she hated to be in the bassinet, I could be holding her till she went to sleep and put her down in her bassinet and she would wake up and cry. If I put her on the bed with me she would be fine. Well that continued when we got home, she would not sleep in her bassinet. Luckily some friends from work had bought me a bouncy chair and Reagan loved it. So for the first 3 weeks of her life she slept in her bouncy chair. The doctor wanted me to try and get her to sleep in her bassinet, but there is only so much I could take before I had to get sleep. Well we finally got over that and she sleeps pretty well in her bassinet next to our bed.

Announcing Reagan Sophia Dial

She is here! Reagan was born today around 4:25 pm and was 6 lbs. 8 oz. and 18.5" long.
Heidi and Scott went into the hospital this morning for another checkup on Reagan and because her fluid levels had dropped the doctors decided not to wait until Monday to take Reagan.
She is doing well, very healthy, a little bit of blond hair and soooo cute. We just love her!!

Reagan will be here soon...

Well we had our week doctor's appointment on Thursday 11/5/09 and it started off as a normal doctor's appointment but then Dr. Richey started feeling my belly more than he normally does. Since this is my first baby I did not think much of it, and he also started to ask me how she was moving around. Now that I thought about it she wasn't moving around as she use to but I didn't think much of it. Dr. Richey told me that I had not grown much (my belly) the past couple of appointments and he wanted to take a look at the baby. Well every chance that I get I am watching a Baby story, Birth day and Delivery me on T.V. so I thought that he was going to tell me that I had to deliver the baby that day.

So I was totally not ready for this news and Scott wasn't sure what was going on. Dr. Richey took us to his Ultra sound room and started to do all her measurements, to my relief she looks fine but she is just really small for her age. She is measuring at 35 weeks and about 5 lbs, instead of almost 39 weeks. So she is under the 10% for her age. Dr. Richey said that he wanted to get her out when I turned 39 weeks, which is Monday 11/9/09 and that they could induce me or we could just do the C-section and be done. He said that my cervix was still long and closed and it might be a very long induction and in the end I still might have to do a C-section. Once Scott understood the difference between the two he sided with me to do the C-section, I did not want to be in labor for two days possibly then have to have a C-section anyway (I don't like to gamble at all). In the meantime my mom had to go out of town to visit family on the spur of the moment and I couldn't remember what time she was flying back on the 9th. Luckily she is going to be in town just a couple of hours before I go in for my C-section.

So for now I have to go into Providence Friday, Saturday and Sunday to have a Bio-physical test done to make sure that Reagan is still doing O.K. until Monday. So far I have done the Friday and Saturday test and she has past the tests both times. I did not think that this is the process that we would go thru for Reagan to come into this world because I have had such an easy pregnancy but I don't care what I have to do as long as she is safe and sound.

I can't wait until Monday at 11:30am when we will go to the O.R. to meet baby Reagan in person.

Parking

The other day I had a doctor's appointment and at my doctor's office they have about 3 parking spots reserved for expecting mother's. Scott pulled into the parking spot and I told him that we did not have to park there that I wasn't to big yet and I could walk further if we needed. And he turned to me and said "are you kidding, I worked very hard to get here and we are using the parking spot." I just started cracking up, we did go thru a lot we should just enjoy the perks that come along with being pregnant.

After the doctor's appointment we went to Babies R's to look at a few things and Scott made sure to find the good parking spots for me.

I am 36 weeks along now, and now when we go somewhere I am more than happy to use the parking spots up close. I normally don't care where we park but it is a little harder to walk now and pretty soon I am going to waddle where ever I walk so shorter is better. And when I am at work every time I stand up I feel like I have to go to the bathroom.

Several people have said that they want pictures of me so here they are. This was at my parents house tonight we all the family was there for family dinner.

Everyone tells me that I don't look very big, but let me tell you I feel big but I am still enjoying every minute of it. After waiting so long to become pregnant I still feel that I need to pinch myself to make sure it is real sometimes. I can't believe that I have less than 30 days until my due date. Now I just need to cross my fingers and hope that I am like my sister Laura and come a few weeks early. But I tease her that because I am 4" taller than her Reagan has more room and won't come out until the very end.

I know everyone wants pictures of the house but because of the picture above I have not been able to put the house completely together yet. At least I am a step closer, the computer is up and running and I have my camera cord for the computer, so it should not be long.
