One Year Ago...

Sunday Bryan and I celebrated our one year anniversary. All I can say is what an amazing year it has been. It is so hard to believe that it has been a whole year...how time flies. Now a year later we are not only celebrating our anniversary but welcoming our biggest blessing into the world. I am so blessed with such an amazing husband and now seeing what an wonderful dad Bryan is to Addisyn only makes me love him more (which I didn't even know was possible). We have definitely packed a lot into the past year. As we were looking back on the past year we have decided that we don't like our life to be quiet...we are always up for the next challenge. We went from me starting a new career, buying a new home and getting settled in, to finding out that we had a little miracle on the way. Life has truly given us so much to be thankful for.

On Thursday Bryan and I went out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary while Grandma and Grandpa watched Addisyn. But on Sunday we were able to celebrate our special day with lots of fun at the lake and a nice relaxing night. On top of it Addisyn slept great which means we did too!! One of the best Anniversary presents ever! This weekend/week has been fun having Brant, Teresa, and Maddox in town. We are so glad that were able to make the trip to come visit. It has been so precious to watch Maddox with Addisyn he is such a good helper and is going to make a great big brother to baby Colton! He said to me today, "Aunt Kasey, taking care of babies is lots of hard work huh?" It was so cute. Anyway, thats it for now I need to catch some sleep while Addisyn is asleep. We all continue to do well and hope that all of you are too! I will leave this with a link to the beautiful slideshow Carmen made for us...enjoy! http://www.vimeo.com/14516685
Lots of Love,
Bryan, Kasey & Addisyn

Catching up...

Alright so it has been awhile since I have come on here and blogged but I guess that's what happens when you have a newborn! We are finally settling into life, the three of us. Addisyn has been such a blessing and we are enjoying every minute of her (even at 2:00 in the morning). Everyday she changes so much! I feel like I need to enjoy every second because I already feel like she is growing so quickly. Overall she has been doing great. We have had a couple of pretty much sleepless nights but she has been doing better now. Last night she slept in 4 hour spurts which means I got some much needed sleep as well.

She had her two week check up and is doing fantastic. At their 2 week appointment they like them to weigh what they weighed at birth or more and she weighed in at 8 pounds 2 ounces which is great (she was 7;15 at birth). She is getting some cute pudgy checks and baby rolls...I love it! We took her for a hip ultrasound because the pediatrician said with breech babies their hips are not always in the socket so she wanted to be sure...everything came back great so we were happy about that. I went in for my 3 week post-op check up and my incision is healing great. It is amazing how you can hardly even see a scar! Having a c-section really was not as bad as I had anticipated...don't get me wrong it was definitely painful but I felt I was able to bounce back pretty quickly.

Last week Carmen came to visit and we were so excited she was able to make the trip up here. She did Addisyn's newborn pictures and they are absolutely amazing! The pictures are priceless and are something we will cherish forever and it was so special that a close friend was the one who was able to capture these special pictures...we love you Carmen! Thanks again for everything!

We are thrilled that Brant, Teresa and Maddox are coming to visit tomorrow! We are so excited to spend time with them and have them meet Addisyn.

Last night Bryan and I went out for the first time just the two of us since Addisyn was born. My parents took her for a couple of hours so we could go to dinner and celebrate our anniversary. We had a great time and were so happy we could get some time the two of us. After being gone for 3 hours we were both ready to get back home and see her :) It's funny how life changes lol.

Sorry this is getting kind of long winded, it has just been awhile and so much has happened in the last three weeks. I know I am still missing a bunch of things but at least it is somewhat of an update.

We just want to thank all of our family and friends for their love and support at this exciting time. We are so blessed with such wonderful people in our lives and are so thankful for everything that everyone has done for us. We love you all! I will hopefully get better about updating now that we are getting into a little more of a routine.

Adjusting to life at home

So it has been a week today since our little princess decided to make her debut. She has truely been a blessing and we are enjoying every minute with her. She changes so much each day that we are just trying to cherish every moment. We could just sit and watch her for hours (we pretty much do lol) all of the little faces, yawns, coos and stretches are so adorable. The first night home from the hospital was a little rough as she didn't sleep much. She had some jaundace so she came home with a billybed (which is like a little tanning bed) and she hated it! So she didn't sleep much. After one night on the bed we took her to the doctor to have her levels checked and she was back to normal so we were able to get rid of the billybed and ever since she has slept great! She gets up about every 3 hours to eat but thats about it. All our family have been such a big help and we are so thankful for everything they have done.

Yesterday Bryan and his dad were working on rehanging the dry wall in our basement and Bryan decided to cut his finger so he was off to the doctor and ended up having his finger glued back together...never a dull moment in our household! Other than that we are just enjoying getting adjusted to life at home with a newborn! Thank you all for thinking of us and for the well wishes...we appreciate everything!

We are all still doing well just getting excited to go home. Addisyn has been sleeping in the nursery at night so that we can rest up before we go home. The nurse said that she was the best sleeper out of all the babies in the nursery last night. However I have a feeling that will change once we go home. All of the nurses have been Wonderful and have been taking good care of all of us. We have had lots of visitors, it has been great to see everyone and have them meet Addisyn. We will go home tomorrow which will be really nice, it seems like I haven't been home in forever! Especially since we left in such a hurry to get to the hospital and it was so unexpected. Bryan has been amazing and it is so special to see him as a Dad. He has been so helpful and is such an amazing Dad already. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, we can't wait for all of you to meet Addisyn. Lots of love!

Addisyn Evelynn Bailey

We are so excited that our little girl arrived. Words cannot even explain how we feel...it is like instant joy. She surprised us at 1:00 this morning when my water broke. We got to the hospital at about 2:00 and had our baby girl in our arms at 3:55 am! She is absolutely beautiful and doing fantastic! She weighs 7 pounds 15 ounces and is 20 inches long. Everything went really smooth with the c-section now it is just the path to recovery! I was able to get up and take a shower by about 11:00 which felt fantastic. I have been moving VERY slow but have been able to get out of bed twice now. I will post more later but here are some pictures for now...enjoy!
