MALACHI REED EGGLETON
8.6.2015
Our littlest bud, Malachi Reed, entered the world on August 6, 2015
[His exact due date ;)]
at 2:40 AM (IST)
Weighing 5 lbs. 10 oz.
Measuring 20 3/4 in. long
He was the cutest and tiniest thing I'd ever laid eyes on
(especially at that time of the night!!! haha)
Felt like I finally earned my "mom" card, because tears fell as I looked at him for the first time and all I could say through my smile & tears is "Oh just look at him, he's ours!"
I certainly couldn't have done it without this guy by my side:
Later that morning, the moment Levi had been anxiously waiting for finally arrived...
He FINALLY got to meet his baby brother.
Riley enjoyed him to, but maybe to a lesser degree-
her first response was, "Oh mom, there's your baby.... she's so cute" (oops!)
Could have been the pink clothes they dressed him in right after he was born that threw her off.
hahahaha.
We love our family of five!!!
(Don't let Levi's face fool you- :) )
And it couldn't have happened so smoothly without the help of this awesome lady:
We all LOVE LOVE LOVE Grammy!!!!
Yep, he was tiny :) Already mastering the "paci" grab
Adored by your big brother & big sister
One of your favorite sleeping positions:
Umbellical cord finally fell, but I think it is safe to say-
You were NOT a fan of your first bath :)
Whew, that was rough!
He's crazy about you:
Of course, already a WVU fan:
Let's gooooo Mountaineers!

To Our precious son- Malachi Reed,
Papa said it best when he said you were "God's gift of grace" to us...
because you bring us so much JOY, and we've done nothing to deserve it.
We've loved seeing the way the Lord graciously led and was with us in everything from pregnancy with you up through your delivery and even after.
We are praying that throughout your life, you will clearly sense His faithful hand
doing the same thing for you in every step of the way.
May you continue to bring JOY to those around you,
and may your truest JOY come from being in the presence of the King, our heavenly Father.
We love you little bud.
All our Love,
Mama & Papa
