Precious Reagan

Our little Reagan is doing just great. She is getting cuter and cuter with each day and Craig and I are head over heels for her. The swelling in her face from birth has gone down and she is so perfect. I think she looks similar to Katya but different. Her hair is darker and there is a little more of it. Her nose and the shape of her face is similar to newborn Katya but her lips are thinner. Her eyes are smaller and seem to be darker. They are the slat, cloudy newborn blue but we think there maybe hints of brown. Our guess is that they will turn brown but of course too early to tell. Her eyebrows are thin and feminine and she has skinny long legs. She has the funniest little cry that starts out airy and very tragic sounding but quickly progresses to a good scream. She, of course, wants to be held a ton but also likes the swing and the little pink seat that vibrates. She is nursing like a champ and my milk is coming in. The learning curve has been much smaller since I breastfed Katya.

Our new sleeping arrangement is Reagan and I in her room and Craig alone in our room. This worked great last night, allowing Craig to get some much needed rest since he is primarily in charge of a very difficult 2yr old. Reagan and I slept better too. We are bed sharing for now and will transition her to crib later. Right now our top priority is getting some sleep and nursing on demand. She loves falling asleep at the breast. Reagan is awake for a few streaches, one about 10pm and one about 3am, but hopefully she will get her days and nights figured out in the next few weeks.
