Reagan was a fighter from the beginning. In the womb, she was not getting enough room, so she pushed her brother and sister out of the way and took center stage. She was always the smallest but that did not stop her. While in the NICU, she flew through all the tests required to get released, even though she had not even reached 4 pounds. Once we got her home, she settled in quite nicely getting any and everything that she ever wanted. Reagan was very animated and an active participate in whatever she was doing. She was feisty, active, strong, determined, and cunning. Reagan Olivia Abeldt changed our lives forever. We were blessed to have her in our lives for 11 weeks and 4 days, and she will forever be in our hearts.
