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.

Good Week!

Again, this is one of those posts that I won't go into detail as if you know us you know what is going on. I just ask that we get lots of prayers and positive thoughts!

We also have Bailey's 2nd birthday this weekend! I know I know it is true our preemie baby is 2 days from being 2 years old which seems crazy! Stay tuned for what I am sure is a weekend of fun and lots of pics!

Thank you for everyone that has been such a great support to us! I cannot tell you how much we appreciate each and everyone of you and the prayers that have been offered to us.

Dave Ramsey Total Money Makeover

Today trying to set aside the headaches, nausea, and moodiness that these meds have created for me we ventured out. I had gotten Joe tickets to see Dave Ramsey live for his birthday and today was the day! We were both excited as we both enjoy Dave Ramsey's advice and Joe really looks up to him as someone he aspires to be like. I wasn't sure though, I mean 5 hours of listening to 1 person talk about finances doesn't exactly seem like something enjoyable on a Saturday. I was totally surprised and the 5 hours was delightful! Dave Ramsey is not only a financial genius but also just as funny as he is on his radio show! I highly recommend that if you have a chance to see him speak you should. We also bought several things from his "Total Money Makeover" line. Joe also bought Bailey the kids version eventhough she is still 1 year from being at the recommended age for starting the lessons...YES, my dad will also be very proud about this purchase! What....who says girls marry a version of their dad?!?!?? ;)

All-in-all a fun and educational day!

Peek A Boo

While at the beach Bailey decide to play hide and seek and then peek a boo with me in the master shower. Bailey thought it was hysterical and was laughing her little head off which of course made me laugh until my cheeks were sore! I was able to catch some cute pics...enjoy!

Lots Going On

We have so much going on and because of the nature of all those things I am not sure that many people want to read it so I will just leave it alone. First, because if you know us you know what is going on and are probably sick of hearing about all of it. Second, because it might be a little TMI(too much info) for some. I will say that this is going to be a good year for us and we are just relying on excellent doctors, lawyers, and most of all God!

Excuse the morning hair! ;)

As for this past weekend we had a nice time down at the beach with awesome weather!!! Bailey got to open her Christmas presents from Joe's mom, Gloria, and Frank which she of course loved! Bailey is so lucky to have so many people that are so generous with her and we feel honored to have such wonderful family members! I know it is a ways away BUT in May Bailey will get to meet all of Joe's family as we are going to take her to Lubbock with us for 5/6 days! That's right Lubbock better prepare for the cutest toddler it has ever seen...yes, I am biased!

Sorry for the lack of updates!

There has been a lot going on family wise and I have not been in the mood to really write much. The trend has continued this week and I think will get worse next week with all the doctors appointments that are going to start taking place. We are very hopeful that the doctors will help give us the small push we need and we will have happy results before long! If you could spare some prayers for us it would be appreciated!!!

I have a 3 day weekend and will either be going with my parents and Bailey to the beach house or Bailey will be staying here with Joe and I. Joe cannot go to the beach house as he does not have Monday off. :( I am hopeful that a nice FUN 3 day weekend whether spent at home or at the beach house will yield something great to blog about!!!

Blah!

I knew at the end of my 2 weeks off I would have to hand Bailey back over to my parents but didn't think much of it. I mean we hand her back every Sunday night no problem, right!?!?! So, when I left my parents house on Sunday night I had NO idea how sad I would be. Granted, I had a bad cold, Joe was gone, and I had to start back to work the next day but still. I cried A LOT as I sat home without my little bug to keep me on my toes. I know I lose a lot of sleep when we have her, that it isn't as easy to do things like Target when I have Bailey, laundry seems to pile up faster, etc BUT all the bad things are SO minimized when she is running around laughing under my feet! She can so easily make a bad day amazing by just cuddling up to me even if it is just for a minute. I know that there are so many of us that love her beyond belief and because of this it makes it sad for anyone of us not to have her for an extended period of time. It makes me wonder what the future holds for us and how we deal with all those things that no one wants to think about. I guess for now all I can do is enjoy Joe and I's weekends with our little bug and push aside all those sad things that I don't want to think about!
