Such a sweetheart!!!

Hello everyone! We are so excited to have baby Bailey here. She is the sweetest little baby girl and we have been enjoying her immensely. Thank you to all for your prayers and concern for us. She was born via c-section after 4 hours of labor. She just didn’t like the contractions so much–the cord was wrapped pretty tight around her torso, so we are glad that they opted for the best thing for her and she is here safe and is extremely healthy. She had a hard time nursing at first, but happily is doing better today. I am recovering well and the boys love her so much too. Thanks to everyone who has helped us out! We love you all!

Hello World!Dillon giving Bailey her first bath.

My second time holding her–first time is a little hard when they are still operating on you, plus it’s a funny picture from the first time holding her–as in, they took it of me looking back at them kind of upside-down since I had to look back and behind:).

Brothers so excited to hold her and see her for the first time!First Family PhotoReady to go home! Home at last!“Mom, are you done taking pictures yet? I’m so not amused.”
(more pics of the boys, visiting families, and the birth story later–the last mostly for journaling purposes).
