Greyson - Day 4 (Coming Home Day!!)
Saturday, June 5th is the day that we were released from the hospital to come home. Mike and I couldn't wait to get home to Sayer and start settling back into the routine of having a newborn again.
Thanks to Aunt Jonalee we had an outfit small enough to bring Greyson home from the hospital in. I certainly didn't anticipate that Greyson would be as small as he was, so the outfits that I packed were a little too large!
And, thanks to JoDe for bringing us dinner the first night at home! What a huge help that was!
Greyson - Day 3
Friday, June 4th... Greyson Day 3 and Mommy's Birthday! What an exciting few days for the Reik family!
Emma Grace and her newest cousin!
Dr. Reardon and Greyson! What an amazing doctor! Thank you!
Greyson - Day 2
The days surrounding Greyson's arrival were very busy for the Reik family. June 3 was Mike's Birthday! Happy Birthday Daddy!!
Greyson had many visitors on Day 2. Aunt Stace and Lily, the Akrights and the Searceys were among those who came to the hospital.
Sayer also came back to the hospital to visit his little brother, but this time I was able to hold him. That is going to be the hardest part about having a c-section. I am only allowed to lift 15 lbs. for six weeks. Since my son is over 30 lbs. I am not going to be able to pick him up. UGH!!!
Day 1
Greyson had several visitors the day of his arrival. Emma Grace, Aunt Missy, Uncle Herb and Kole, Mikey Mo and Sue, and Spencer, Amber and MaCallen were among them!

Day 1 - Sayer meets Greyson
Sayer came to the hospital the evening that Greyson was born. Mike and I weren't sure how he was going to react to a new baby, but he was GREAT! He kept pointing at Greyson and saying "Baby". He even shared his blankie with him, which was a total surprise (if you knew how attached Sayer is to his blankies, you would agree).

Happy BIRTH DAY Greyson Jon Reik!
Greyson Jon Reik was welcomed to the world on June 2, 2010 at 12:40. He weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. and was 19" long.
Having Greyson was a much different experience than I had with Sayer. With a scheduled c-section we didn't have to wait hours to meet our new little guy. We got to the hospital about an hour and a half before my scheduled surgery so I could get prepped. We hung out with most of our family prior to the c-section, then when they were ready for me I walked to the operating room with my nurse and got my spinal block when I got to the operating room. The entire experience was AMAZING! I was completely calm and collected in the operating room! I was more excited than I was scared. The entire staff was AWESOME! Less than an hour after getting to the operating room we met our little boy!
Hanging out in my room just prior to my c-section. Those we love most were there with us with the exception of Uncle Jason and Aunt Stace.
