We're HOME!

Bailey and I were able to come home today.  She was quite the early and fast surprise last Wednesday evening.  I was in labor a total of 3 hours.  She wasn't due until the 21st of May.  Bailey Dakota was born April 20th at 6:54 pm. weighing 4lbs 13oz.  She had to spend a week in the NICU first because of low blood sugar and then they found an infection.  While that was being treated with antibiotics, she was also being treated for jaundice.  But all is well now and we are home.


She had to be kept under a warmer for a few days off and on to keep her body temperature where it should be.

All snuggled up in her NICU crib


Home at last


Her sister is a BIG fan of her for now.  Ryleigh kept telling us about her the whole way home and wanted her out of her car seat the second we walked in the house.  Ryleigh couldn't see her in the NICU so today was the first meeting of this sister we kept talking about.

Yeah so excited for ya'll to get home so we could see some pictures of her...she's soooo tiny! And the picture of Ry holding her is adorable. It's funny cause we know how small Ry is and she dwarfs Bailey. :)

Goodness, that's quite a journey, and I'm so glad she's home and healthy. What a cutie. Congrats.
