Our First Bundle of Joy!

So after 38 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy

and 28 hours of really fun labor...

 (I felt surprisingly lighter when my water broke

at 3am friday morning)

Charlie was obviously really excited to dress up and be in 

the room the C-section delivery. He said he didn't believe it 

when he saw them pull Reed out, it was amazing!

We were very excited to welcome our little Eric Reed Alvey Jr.

 into this crazy world were we plan to love him lots and lots! He came

in weighing 8 lbs 13 oz and is 21.5 inches long, and growing rapidly, by

his 2 week appointment he was back up to 9 lbs after he lost

 quite a bit in the hospital from our blood sugar issues.

He had many wonderful family and friends show up to

welcome him into the world, one of which was his cousin

Parker who was so cute and wanted to give him a hug but

Reed didn't like it(probably cause he's a BYU fan).

Little Reed thinks he's such a stud already just relaxing and 

sleeping and eating all the time, just like a normal newborn I'm

sure, I just love to watch him while he sleeps cause he's so sweet.

He seems to really like bath time which is great cause I'm a 

water loving person and now Charlie is too. I can't wait til 

summer so i can take him swimming!

On November 5th mommy was mean and laid him in his

very first snow! He wasn't able to open his eyes too much

 cause the snow was so bright.

He also met his closest cousin Brooklyn saturday, born just 

9 days after Reed was born, I can't wait for them to be playing 

together at family reunions, I loved playing with my cousins

that were around my age. Wonderful days.

On November 6th we blessed Reed and by the looks of it he                                     is very happy to have a name, his grandpas name at that,                                 unhappy to be wearing a little monkey suit.
