Journal Entry May 30th



I've been taking lots of pictures of Bailey, trying to capture each and every expression. Here are a couple of her and Brittany and then some of her and Stu while talking on the phone with Grandma Pat.


May 30th
Braden is doing very well. I cannot believe the courage and optimism he has. He is handling everything way better than I am. He is pretty much already recovered from surgery and is wearing his brace 24/7 and adjusting pretty well. He has his sad and frustrating moments, but he's really good under the circumstances. It's hard as his mom to see him struggle and be placed with this trial at this time in his life, but I know he will be stronger for it and it will do him good in the end.

I'm doing pretty good....learning how to live on a few hours of sleep each night. I have totally cut back on extra activities and the kids are off track so we don't have a schedule or places we have to be so that is making life easier. I am determined to cherish little Bailey while she is still a newborn, so I hold her a lot and just stare at her face and her little expressions. It's so fun to be a mom to a new baby again, even though it's quite difficult at the same time. I just love it so much that I don't want her to grow up even though it'd be nice if she could sleep at night. So many people have offered to help and our ward at church has been a great support. We still have dinners lined up, so that has been very helpful.
