Reagan Christine Aurich

Reagan Christine Aurich was born July 14th, 2009 at 6:03 in the evening. She weighted 9 pounds 7 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. 

She is amazing, she is already filled out and has a little chunk on her. She is gorgeous and we are so excited to have her be part of our family.

 Shortly after they finished checking her out, Hailey walked in with Brayden. Brayden was touching her feet, and he was really cute about meeting her for about 2 minutes then he just wanted to see what all the hospital stuff was. I was pretty disappointed that Hailey didn't make it in time for the birth, but I am glad she was one of the first to meet Reagan. Cole and Reagan are two weeks apart and were delivered in the same hospital by the same doctor.Here she is getting ready to go home, here outfit barely fit her. She is still so tiny to me, but a little to big for the outfit. I can't imagine having a baby any smaller. She seems to be a really good baby and is precious.Here is Brayden holding Reagan after we returned home. It was hard to be away from him in the hospital, it is nice to be all together as a family of four.

When is she coming

I am getting pretty close to my due date and I am thinking she should be arriving any time. I feel and look like she should already be here. I am just amazed at how big your body and belly can get. I feel like I have a huge ball in my belly.
Brayden wanted to show off his belly too.
While I have the belly I guess I should use it for something. Cole rested perfectly on the huge belly.
This was the night before I had the baby, I think it is bigger than the first picture (is that possible).

Fourth of July

We celebrated Fourth of July a little early this year on the 3rd. There is a golf course near our house which is the University of Colorado's home golf course, and they have a big Fourth of July celebration. It was so nice that it was close to our house and because Jared works for the university they had a roped off section for all the families to sit in with an awesome view of the fireworks. Hailey and her family and my mom also joined us at the golf course. We got there about an hour before dark so we could let Brayden run around and do some of the bouncy slides they had. I was getting a lot of stares because of my huge belly. I heard several people say, "look at her"...oh well.
Brayden had a little fun going through the maze which ended in a slide. This was not his favorite, but he went on it with his dad.
We had a blast watching the fireworks and eating kettle corn. Brayden wasn't too freaked out by the fireworks which was nice. It was a lot of fun and I am really glad we went. The morning of the 4th we had a church party. They served breakfast and had some crazy games that were pretty entertaining to watch and then they had the kids bike parade. Most of the kids decorated their bikes, but not us we are always so last minute we didn't have anything to decorate with. The kids then ride around the hockey rink and wave and then crash into each other because there are so many kids. Brayden still can't reach the peddles so Jared had to push him around the rink. Brayden was having so much fun...
...until he crashed. There was a huge pile up of bikes so Jared tried to miss the pile up and cause Brayden to fall of the bike causing our own accident. He went from time of his life fun to tears.
You can see the tears still running down his face.
He stopped crying when I told him he was going to mess up his firework painting on his cheek. It was a lot of fun; I really like our ward.
