Friday Saturday

I dont know which Baby liked this more?!?

Sunday

Friday was a good day. I went to the TNT sale with Terri from work. It was great and I got Bay several neat things! (Thanks for going Terri.) Bay was in a pretty good mood. Bay went with me to Kims house for Jessicas party. It was so much fun *Thanks Kim). It was so nice relaxing with the girls and letting Bayley get passed around getting some much deserved love (thanks antibacterial!!) I think I had forgotten how much fun girl time is! lol

Saturday was a pretty good for the most part. Bayley slept pretty good. Me & Syd cleaned and did laundry then she headed off to Devin's house and Me & Bay went to Cindi's to see her and went messing around a lil bit. I was gonna go to Walmart But Bay decided she had shopped enough...she was VERY vocal letting me know this. She was pretty fussy Saturday night but once she gave up and went to sleep she slept pretty good.

Today was ok. Church of course. .. Then we went to the river to see Mother & Daddy. That was fun and Bay had fun napping with Papa. I think Papa napped more than Bay did. By the way... GREAT NEWS...DADDY IS FINALLY RETIRING!!! October 13th is his last day on the bread route! He is going to relax for a few well deserved months then he needs to get a knee replacement and eventually he will hunt a job somewhere to get out of the house but atleast it wont be those horrible hours and the stress of running that bread route! I think it will end up being like retirement for both Mother & Daddy & I am so glad that they are going to finally get some well deserved rest and relaxation! This afternoon Bayley got fussy and she pretty much stayed that way on and off during the evening. Tonight we had our Lads to Leaders kick off at church...It is hard to believe it is that time again! This year will be exciting...I cant wait to see what Bayley's speech will be about!! (j/k of course) More tomorrow.

Wednesday Thursday

Wednesday was a pretty good day. Bayley had a good day at Katies. She slept a lot during the day but Katie said she also smiled a lot at Hannah. Bayley smiled real big for Rachel G at church Wednesday Night. Everyone was impressed with her head holding up abilities. lol

Today was another good day. Nothing too exciting. Bayley pooped a BIG diaper for me tonight. yay for poops. It was bathtime afterwards and then WEIGH TIME!!! We look forward to Thursdays to see how big Bay has gotten..... DRUM ROLL ....... 9 lbs 3 oz!!!! What a fatty!!! It is amazing that Bay has actually decreased the amount she is eating and yet is still gaining weight steadily. I am still consistently pumping away and she is taking 100 ml but now she is not eating every 3 hr she sometimes waits 4-5 hours inbetween bottles. Gods plan is amazing.

Me & Syd worked in Bays room a lot tonight. We got a lot of stuff put up and I think maybe after this weekend it will be ready to decorate. Im going to the TNT babysale tomorrow. Im excited. More later.

Friday Saturday

Sunday

Monday

Tuesday

First off I have just about given up on the idea of a daily update...work is killin that for me! But I will try to update better than I did this week... Anyways...here is the recap! Friday Bay was with Gail and she had a good day. She had poops...yay Bay! She is still taking 100 ml. By the way I forgot to say that Brian weighed Bay Thursday Night and she weighed 8 lb 13 oz!!! My little fatty. Bay didnt have a good night Friday Night/Sat Morning... she got up at 11:30 to eat and didnt go back to sleep until 2 then got back up at 4. It was Brians night so I got the recap :)

Saturday was a good day .... except I felt bad with my goofy cold and had no voice at all. YUK. But regardless I had promised Syd we would shop so we did. Me Syd & Bay had a good day shopping away. We left around 11:30 and had to be back by 5 to go to Beckys bday party. Syd had a great time spending her bday money. Bay enjoyed the trip and was really good. No poops on Saturday.

Sunday was a day of tears. lol Bay was pretty good that morning during church then she got a lil fussy that afternoon. We decided to run to WalMart and Watermark to get a few things and Bay didnt like that plan...she fussed the whole time which isnt like her. She let us know her extreme displeasure that night at church when she fussed the whole service again. She just wasnt a happy camper. No poops Sunday.

Monday was a Monday. Im not quite into the swing of working and getting everything done yet so I feel a lil rushed/crazed. lol Bay had a good day. She had poops yay bay! The exciting news was actually last night Monday Night/Tuesday Morning. She took her bottle at 11:30 and was back sleepin by 12:15 or so and she slept until 4:30 and she started fussin...all I did was pick her up and cuddle her with me and she slept until 6:15 ... YUPPPP 6:15 I was GIDDY!!! YAY BAY!!!

Today was an ok day. Bay started out the day in a really good mood. She had poops for Katie today. She got fussy this afternoon and continued to be fussy all night. She wasnt horrible but she just wasnt in a great mood. We are just loving on her a lil extra and hoping her mood improves... :) More next time!

Wednesday

Thursday

Wednesday was an up and down day. Bayley did good at Katie's and had poops for her!!! Katie brings out the best in Bayley lol j/k Katie! We went to church that night and wow for those of you who werent there or happen to be deaf...Bayley screamed the entire time that classes were going on. It was like she knew when they started and wow she wasnt happy. Her tummy made a lot of wierd noises while she was taking her bottle right as church started and obviously from all the screaming her tummy hurt bad. She seemed to get a little better when we got home.

Today was ok. No major changes in Bayley. She seemed to do ok and feel ok. She has slept a lot today which probably isnt good for me because that means she probably wont sleep good tonight. lucky me. I still have this stinking cold... GRRR it is getting old. O well

PS - Update on Dillon Morgan. He went through the surgery great & had no complications. They were able to correct his trache issue and think things are gonna be great. He came home from the hospital today & was very happy to be away from the people who kept touching him. lol

Now time for another prayer request. I think NICU babies will always pull at my heart & we have a baby & family who need constant prayers. The little one is Kathryn Ellis and she was born weighing only 14 oz, 11 inches long at 24 weeks (I think that is right). She is now 51 days old. She is at Brookwood with our fabulous NICU doctors taking care of her. Terri that I work with goes to church with this family and has been keeping me posted on her. Please add this sweet little girl & her family to your prayer list. Thanks so much!

Monday Tuesday

Monday was an ok day for Bayley. No poops. Nothing too exciting at all...which is good news. I had a really bad sore throat and yet another cold. It stinks not being able to take cold medicine.

Today was a better day. My throat didnt hurt nearly as bad today. Bayley pooped a BIG diaper for Katie...yay Katie! lol j/k but we are excited to have poop! Nothing really exciting has gone on...More soon.

PS- Prayers are needed fo Dillon Morgan. He is the grandson of Terri that I work with and the boy of the premie twins that I always talk about. He is having another surgery tomorrow to correct the way his trache closed. The surgery is at 10am so keep him and his family in your prayers. The twins are 18 months now...walkin & talkin & doing really great so hopefully this last surgery will leave Mr. Dillon happy & healthy. More tomorow.

Friday Saturday

Saturday

Today...Papa holding Bayley wearing HIS DRESS! Syd wore this dress home from the hospital!

Bayley's bed...the only thing that is ready in her room! lol

Friday was a wonderful day...because it was the last day of work ..or atleast for this week anyway. The work day was normal. Friday night was good. Syd went to the game 35 to 0 win.. go Spartans. We hung out at home and played with Bay. She was in a good mood.
Saturday was BUSY. We woke up and did laundry then headed over to Burlington to look at baby beds... after looking and talking about our options we decided that it would be better to fix Syds bed and let Bay use it..which was fine by me! We looked around at all the baby stuff...wow there is a lot of junk out there. We bought several things that we needed with our gift card (thanks Momma & Daddy) We got her mattress, a changing table mat & cover, her mobile which is so cute & something else but I dont even remember what. We ran home and then it was time for Kims shower. Lila got so many cute things! Paula would have been proud of the party. Everything was so nice & the food was YUMMY! After the shower we went shopping for a curtain for Syds room. I think we found something that will work but Im not sure if I love it yet...we have it hanging up to see if it grows on me. We worked in Bays room all night and really didnt accomplish much. We did get her bed put together but the rest of the room is basically a disaster but it will get done somehow. Bay felt good all day by the way. Syd was on her bed playing with Bay & Bayley followed Sydney with her eyes. She was watching her and Syd started moving around in the room while talking to her to see if she would follow her and syd did. That is a good sign! Go Bay!

Today was crazy again. Things got off to a hectic start but Bayley looked precious in her little dress which of coure was my Daddys dress! Before church started...Bayley smiled..not a reflex but she was watching me and I was talking to her and she smiled a real smile. She only did it one other time and I cant get her to repeat it but I was thrilled because that is one of her milestones she needs to meet!!! Go Bayley! After church I cooked and we took a nap then we got ready and went to Ashville Road to a singing. We had fun before the singing at Milos with the group. Alex was hysterical & spilt tea on hisself twice..you had to be there but believe me we were rolling. The singing was good. Bayley felt good again today. She is a lil fussy tonight. I dont mention poop as much mainly because Im not with her as much & I cant post every day so I forget by the time I post. Bay hasnt pooped since Friday & I think it is starting to get to her cause she is fussin up a storm right now. Anyway more next time I have 2 seconds.

Monday Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

This will be as quick as possible so forgive me I will try to do better as I get in a routine.

Monday was a good day. We didnt do anything exciting at all. I basically layed around and held Bay all day. She was really fussy that morning but she finally settled down around 3ish. No poops and that is probably why she was so fussy.

Tuesday was the bad bad day ... BACK TO WORK. Things went ok I guess. Bay stayed with Gail and she did fine. She was awake most of the day (no poops). I have never been so thrilled to get off work in my life. I just cooked something quick and spent most of the night holding and rocking Bay & getting stuff ready for Wednesday...YUK.

Wednesday was Bayley's first day with Katie. She did great. Hannah is so cute and was facinated with Bayley. Bayley had a big poop for Katie....I guess she broke her in right! We all went to church wed night and that was good. It feels funny to all actually go together again. lol

Today Bayley was back with Gail. She did good but slept most of the day which means she probably wont sleep great tonight but maybe she will. She was probably tired because she missed her mommy so much :) Today was exciting at work...they have me a suprise baby shower at lunch! It was so sweet. I got a ton of stuff for Bay!!! I will have to post a picture of my cake (Julie took the pics so I will have to get them from her.) It had a girl turtle on it with angel wings!!! It was precious and so stinking good...Edgars cake is always YUMMY. Tonight was fun because we all went through the stuff. She got the lil piggy slippers from the picture above and we couldnt resist trying them on her! Man they are cute. One of the many exciting things we got was a digital scale! I am happy to report that Bayley is up to 8 lb 9 oz which is right on target with what the NICU told us should happen. She is actually only taking 100 ml of milk each feeding which is down from 110 ml but obviously she is still gaining...lil piggy! Sydney is still doing great in school. Her lowest grade is a 93 IN PE!!! Only my child would have a 93 because she cant remember to take her PE tshirt to school. More tomorow or the next time I have 10 spare minutes.

Before we left for church

Bayleys First time at church! (Thanks Lynn)The New Ladies at Sylvan Springs... Hannah, Addi (or the back of her head lol) and Bayley. Lila will complete this group of 4...unless someone else wants to hurry up and have another Baby girl. lol The girls will be great friends! (Thanks Again Lynn)

Our Family Today was an exciting day! My day started bright and early at 5:45 when Sunshine woke up. Believe it or not I started after I fed her getting us all ready for church ... WOW I forgot how much work it takes to get a little one ready. Bayley did great at church. She slept straight through Sunday school and most of church. She woke up at the end because she was hungry and I quickly figured out that she will not tolerate cold milk lol. Bayley seemed to feel good all day. She did good again tonight at church. Go Bayley!! More tomorrow.

Thursday Friday

SATURDAY...Happy 14th Sydney Meghan!!! I love you even though you wouldnt be serious for a picture!

Ok this is gonna be as quick as possible because it is 12:45 am and I have to actually be awake tomorrow.

Thursday - WE LEFT THE HOUSE AND WENT PLACES OTHER THAN THE DOCTORS OFFICE. It was fun. We went to see Mother at her office and let her show Bay off. Then we went to Brians office. It was fun to see everyone there. Then we went to eat at Ted's Montana Grill it was YUMMY. Bayley did really good while we were there. Then we went to Cindi's office to see her. Bayley was getting tired and SO WAS I lol. So when we left there we headed home. Bayley felt pretty good all day and no poops.

Friday - We got up and went to See my Daddy at Food World. It was fun to suprise him. Then we went to my office...UGHHH I dont wanna go back to work. I dread it so bad. I love the people that I work with and I like my job but I nearly cried while I was there..I just dont wanna miss out on anything wiht Bayley. After that we went and bought syd Birthday presents. YAY. Bayley did great again on Friday. She had a little poops but she seems to be feeling a little better. Im hoping that medicine is relaxing her tummy and maybe it will help her.

Today is Sydney's 14th Birthday!!! It is so hard to believe she is 14. It is going by so quick. She had a great day today. We gave her our gifts today and she loved them. I tried to take a serious picture of her...but u see what I got...She is a goof. I am very proud of her and she is a great girl. Happy Birthday Baby Girl... Bayley had another good day. She had BIG poops and didnt cry as much as she had been so YAY. She enjoyed being out again today. Her eyes were HUGE in Walmart. lol She definitely liked the lights. I have been running around tonight like a crazy person trying to get stuff ready...BECAUSE BAYLEY GOES TO CHURCH TOMORROW FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!!! Stay tuned for pictures.
