Today We Met Bradie!
Finally, the day I have been waiting for!! I got to meet and hold sweet little Bradie!! She is PRECIOUS and so tiny. I can't decide if she looks more like Carrie or Lee, but she is adorable and she was so good at lunch! All these younger babies makes me realize how big Reagan is getting. It seems like just the other day she was 3 weeks old and the size of Bradie! :( I am so glad Carrie had a little girl, Reagan is so lucky to have such great BFF's!

Great Friends & Surprises!
This past weekend we went to Houston to spend time with Morgan & Ledger and we had a blast! Morgan had tons of surprises for me, first our friend Lauren meet us for the weekend to hang out and I have not seen her in forever! We met at the Houston Galleria for lunch at Kona Grill and then walked around and shopped for a bit. After the Galleria we went back to their loft to just hang out and chat and to freshen up before going to dinner. Reagan got to open her birthday gifts from Ledger and Andie! She got a new plate for her party along with a cute towel with an R and a cupcake on it from Ledger and a new pair of gellies and a matching bow from Andie!
Around 8 o'clock we went down stairs to leave for dinner and David & Blake (Morgan and Lauren's husbands) were down there waiting on us with a limo! Since it was my birthday they drove the Hind's limo up so we could take it out to dinner! So, Reagan not only had her FIRST weekend of facing frontward in her car seat, but she also had her FIRST limo ride!! We had a great time at dinner, Reagan stayed out way past her bedtime but she did wonderful. Of course, us girls stayed up all night just talking like back in the day.
The next morning we planed to get up and have lunch, shop around a little bit and then sister and I were going to head back to College Station. But with having 2 babies to get ready plans always change! After getting them both bathed and ready, Ledger peed all over himself during a diaper change and needed a bath, then Reagan had a blow out all over her clothes and needed a bath! So finally around 12:30 we were finally all dressed and loaded up to head out. We ate lunch at the Cheesecake Factory chatted for a bit and then we headed back to College Station.

Thank you Morgan & Lauren for making my birthday weekend so fun! We had such a blast, I wish we could do that more often, once or twice a year is not near enough! Thank you for the birthday gifts and all the surprises, y'all are such sweet girls and wonderful friends. Can't wait to get together again at Christmas time. Love & Miss you Ledger, Love Reagan & Erin

Yucky Reagan
Of course, as soon as we get home Reagan gets sick! I started to notice that she was feeling a little warm, she wasn't eating like normal and she was having diarrhea. So we just stayed in today hoping that this would all pass before our big College Station/Houston weekend. Boy was I wrong, the next day I got the bug and from 2pm-10pm I was either laying in bed or throwing up. It was terrible. Reagan was doing fine, but it seemed she had given the stomach bug to me.
I was unsure if we were going to be able to make our weekend trip since I was feeling terrible and was unsure how long it would last, but we had been planning this weekend for a long time and I would have been really upset if it didn't work out.
We ended up making the drive. I stopped throwing up and Reagan temperature was gone. We had a great weekend until Saturday came and it seemed like all Reagan's symptoms came back. She had really really bad diarrhea and it was like she didn't want to eat or drink anything, which worried me because I was afraid of her getting dehydrated. Sister and I were back in College Station now so we tried taking her to the doctor's office but they were all closed until 1pm unless I took her to the emergency room which I knew wasn't necessary. But by Sunday evening she was better, everything had stopped, but man that was a pain!
Despite the stomach bug we had a great time in Houston and I am so glad we went. I found out later, that the next day Sister & Lauren got the bug, then Forrest got it! Oops, sorry guys!

We're Home!!
We made it, thank goodness for Honey!! There is no way I could have made that 4 hour plane ride without her. Reagan is NOT at an age where she wants to sit still or where she is amused with anything for more than 5 seconds. We even gave her a little Benadryl before we took off to help her sleep, but I think it had the reverse effect on her, she was wired and she had been up since 5:30am! I guess it could have been worse. She wasn't crying, she just needed to be entertained the entire time, luckily we had Honey's purse that was full of things that Reagan liked. (of course, all things that aren't toys!)
Once we got in everyone came over to Nonna & Grandpa's for a cookout. Reagan LOVES Dylan!! She was chasing him all around the house just smiling and laughing. Dylan isn't so sure of her just yet, he likes her more when she isn't around. He is in that 2 year old stage of not wanting to share or be bothered and ALL Reagan does is bother him. Not to mention she doesn't have complete control of her arm movements so she basically is just hitting him trying to play! Regardless they have so much fun together and one day he will be the one picking on her!
