Family of Four

So where do I begin??  We made it home from the hospital on Friday and have had fun visiting with lots of family.   Mimi will stay and help this week, then I'm sure I'll be calling and begging for her to come back soon! 
Reid is absolutely precious!!  He is such a good baby and I just can't stop holding and loving on him.  He is a great sleeper...during the day!  He has his days and nights mixed up, so I haven't slept more than 2-3 hours since we've been home.  And that whole "sleep when the baby sleeps" is a bit harder when you have a 21 month old running around. 
Speaking of that 21 month old, he has his good moments and his jealous moments.  He wants to give lots of hugs and kisses and will just sit and laugh and smile at "the baby," as Reid is known.  But then if Reid starts crying or if one of us is holding him, Connor puts on his fake cry and wants to be held.  So that part is tough but I just keep envisioning the future when these two are best buds.

And once again, I was reminded of what an amazing man my husband is.  Not that I needed any reminding but I can't imagine going through this incredible journey with anyone else.  I LOVE him so much and thank God everyday for my big boy and my two little boys! :)

We went for Reid's well baby check up today (5 days old) and everything is perfect!!  His stats:
Weight: 9lb. 5 oz - 90%ile
Height: 22.5 in - off the chart
Head: 37 cm, - 70%ile

Here are some pictures from the past few days:
