She's here! Reagan Reese Cisler was born yesterday - 9.07.2007 - at 11:37 a.m. She clocked in at a healthy 8 lbs., 15 oz. and was 20.5 inches in length. Joe, Reagan and I are all healthy and well, and I know Joe agrees when I remark on my shock at how smoothly this whole process has gone for us. Example: this is just prior to delivery. Notice Joe sound asleep on the cot in the corner as I giggle and chat with his mom. Most of the delivery was spent laughing and cracking jokes, which was not at all what we had anticipated.



Next is dad and his girl approximately one hour after delivery. This is the first time Joe has gotten to hold her, thanks to routine tests and such. I speak for both of us when I say we are over the moon to finally have her here!



And finally, this photo was taken today with one of the bows I couldn't wait to put on her head! She always wants to be sucking on something, especially her hands. This is not surprising to us as her hands are near her mouth in every ultrasound photo we have, so we had some indication that this would be the case.



More photos to come. She continues to get more gorgeous each day, especially as her swelling goes down, so you can be sure the pictures will border on excessive.
