One month old

 Wow, has time flown by! I can't believe Rae Rae's already a month old. She officially can smile on purpose now...which has been so fun! She started doing that a few days ago. She also holds her head up almost the whole time I have her on my shoulder. She has a strong little neck. I love to see that she's getting more plump! It's nice to know that she's getting enough to eat from me. 
My sweet little girls. I can't believe how grown-up Myah seems now. 
I just LOVE the back of her head! Of course I love everything about her, but oh my goodness, I just love that perfect head, neck, and hair!

Our family

Me and Reagan a week after she was born. I couldn't quite get her to fit well...hence the smashed face...
...then she spit-up on me.
And here's our little family. 
Myah still wants to be with Reagan all the time. She gives Reagan about a thousand kisses a day. Whenever Reagan cries, she tries to make her happy by giving Reagan her binkie and talking cute to her. There are times when Reagan cries a lot, so Justin and I just lay her down and let her cry. Myah will look at us as if to say, "aren't you going to do something?" And when we don't, she takes it into her own hands to try to cheer up Reagan. She's such a good big sister.

Two weeks old

 Reagan turned 2 weeks old yesterday! Her doctor said everything looked perfect. She weighed 7 lb. 10 oz.-45 percentile (so she's gained almost a pound since we left the hospital) and her height was 20.5 in.- 75 percentile. She's in her two week growth spurt, so she's eating about every hour...fun for me!
Here's a video of what Myah does a lot around here...admiring Reagan:
 Justin's sister, Rachel, and her kids came to visit. Elizabeth and Reagan are about 6 weeks apart. Unfortunately Reagan was hungry and upset!
 My sister, Kristy and us girls.
My Grandpa and Grandma Tew
 My parents brought over my bike and Justin's been riding it to work. He's really enjoying that...unfortunately he's not enjoying work too much yet. It will get better, I'm sure! Myah really likes sitting on the bike!

Reagan Marie

 Reagan Marie was born on May 23rd at 2:57 pm. She weighed 7 lb. 2 oz. and was 20 inches long. I got an epidural this time and wow was it amazing! I labored for 6 1/2 hours total but the actual delivery took 7 minutes. Everything went perfectly and I loved the epidural...no pain yet I could feel the pressure of when I needed to push. So Justin and I had a pretty relaxing time in the laboring room! Reagan had no complications and she immediately nursed like a champ. She has been the best eater and such a sweet heart!  
 The day after, mom and dad Calder and Justin's sister's Katie and Sarah came to visit.
 My parents also came to visit. They babysat Myah for us while we were in the hospital and she had a great time with them. 
 Myah instantly fell in love with Reagan and hasn't stopped yet! Let's hope that continues! 
Justin's Nana and Papa visited us as well.
 Being home has been great. Justin's been mostly home this week, so that's been very nice. He starts his new job on Monday so hopefully that goes well. Myah's been such a great big sister. She's always kissing Reagan and checking on her. One morning, Reagan was sleeping so I left her in her crib and thought Myah would like to have one-on-one time with me eating breakfast...wrong! She kept running in to see Reagan and started crying when I said we'd leave Reagan in her crib and the two of us would eat breakfast. As she was crying she'd point to Reagan and say "baby...baby." So I said, "you want Reagan to come out with us?" She said yep and stopped crying so we brought her out with us. Myah loves her "Way Way" (Rae Rae...easier for Myah to say than Reagan!).

This is it!

 Well, I'm in my final week of this pregnancy. I've been having more contractions the past few days. If she hasn't come by Thursday, I will be induced. Yay! I'm so excited to see this little one!
This was a 3D ultrasound from a couple weeks ago. If you can't tell, it's of her face with her arm covering the left side. So you can see her cute cheek, lips, and nose. She looks plump! That's what we like to see!
We are even more ready than we were going to be because Justin was given a man-shower at work a few weeks ago! His co-workers threw him and another guy an awesome shower complete with food and decorations. They gave tons of diapers of all sizes, wipes, an outfit and headbands, and a cute handmade blanket. We were so surprised they did this for us and we are very grateful! It makes it just a little more difficult to leave this job in a few days as we will have the baby and then Justin will be starting at a new job. Yes, Justin got a drafting job at a civil engineering company that he'll start in June. We're excited!
These pics were from Mother's Day:

Tyler & Liesel's Wedding

Justin's brother, Tyler, got married last Friday in the LDS Salt Lake Temple. It was a beautiful day and it helped that Myah was amazing the whole time even though there was no nap and a late bedtime!

Luncheon & Reception
 The kids hit the gym floor running! Noah kept telling Nana to "come on" whenever she'd stop chasing him. 
Myah was always happily doing something fun!
 I think her favorite part was dancing the whole time at the reception, especially with daddy. The only time she stopped dancing was to eat candy!
 
 Yay for being married!
It was a great day, but we were glad to get home and relax (especially the swollen legs and feet on this 38 wk pregnant mama)! We still can't believe how good Myah was. From 7:30 am to 9:30 pm, she was a happy girl. When Justin was getting her ready for bed that night, she was definitely ready for bed though. She kept saying over and over, "seepy...seepy" (sleepy).
