Pictures from this past weekend

We had such a wonderful weekend with Bailey so I thought I would share some new pictures! The weather was beautiful so we spent a lot of time outside playing and using the new patio set with firepit in it. We also took Bailey swimming at the family pool in our gym which she especially loved! I thought I would try a slideshow format this time...

Thankful on Valentine's Day

It seems like such a long time since I posted here and with good reason as things didn't quite work out the way we thought this month. It is okay though as we are trusting in God and our doctor and we WILL get there sooner or later!

I just wanted to take this moment on Valentine's Day, the day of love, to acknowledge the wonderful husband that sits next to me now singing along to the radio and saying we ate too much...okay and now dancing silly! After all that we have been through and the VERY moody me he has had to put up with lately he has been amazing! He has continued to make me laugh even when I thought the tears would never stop and brought dinner home when I didn't feel up to cooking. I really can't express what he has done for not only myself but my family and most of all, Bailey. Again, I am not sure I can ever put into words how much I cherish the way he is with Bailey and all he gives her. I know there will never be enough I can do to thank my husband and what he has brought to my life. I love him dearly and hope over the lifetime of our marriage I can mean as much to him as he has meant to me!!!

Sick Toddler!

Our poor little bug is really sick and had to go to the ER today! :( The peditricians office couldn't see her but my mom said she was REALLY sick so they had to head to the ER. I guess it is just a bad case of the flu but they gave her lots of meds and a shot of some type of pain relief since she hasn't slept well the past 2 nights. If everyone could say a little prayer for her that would be great as we all know how miserable it is to be sick!!!

As you can see by ALL the pictures Bailey's birthday weekend was a fun one! I still can't believe "our" preemie is 2 years old! She is such a good little girl who is always making everyone laugh with her big personality! Certain things haven't changed like her everlasting, over-the-top love for her Grandpa and Dada and the fact that she still doesn't sleep through the night(I know shame on us). Many things HAVE changed though and like everyone says it goes SO fast! I don't think any of us would give up the sleep we have missed for the many moments we have had with our precious girl. We really haven't hit the terrible twos yet and hope they stay away for a while longer because Bailey is pretty laid back in most aspects...just don't spill or put something in the wrong place as she will notice! We look forward to spending all her birthdays in such a fun, happy atomosphere and hope that our preemie will continue to grow and help us make unbelievable memories!!!

WE LOVE YOU BAILEY BUG!!!!!!

Bailey's 2nd Birthday

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY BAILEY!!!

That is right "our"(I say ours because she is SO many people's love!) baby is already 2 years old! I can't believe our little 5 lb preemie is now a funny, sweet, wild 2 year old! We had an amazing birthday weekend with her. The festivities included a small barbeque at our house on Saturday night and then today Chuck E Cheese and dinner at my parents. It was busy and we are all tired but it was so worth it! I will definitely be posting lots of pics in the next few days from our fun weekend so stay tuned for more.
