July 6, 2009:
Hailey Elizabeth Ford made her entrance into this world at 4:48pm, weighing 6lbs, 4oz and measuring 20 1/2" long! Because Barry & I have different bloodtypes, and she ended up with his (causing my body to fight off her system in utero), she had some complications when she first came out...mainly severe jaundice. She spent 7 days in the NICU which was a very rough 7 days for new mommy!! BUT...luckily this is not something that will continue to be an issue...she recovered from it and it's over and she's perfect!! She fit right in with this little bunch we have!!
Since then I've had a blast being a mommy!! Oh yeah...that whole going back to work thing didn't happen seeing that I was told a week into my maternity leave that I didn't have a job to go back to...damn economy...or shady business...but either way it worked out that I've been able to spend every day watching my little angel grow!! Barry also had a shift in employment when the "family business" went south...he is now working for Southwest Construction as a Field Supervisor. He really loves the company and the people he works with ...and other than having to get up at 5am, there's a great growth potential for him...especially because he is well liked! In fact, we are praying that a promotion may be in his near future...so keep your fingers crossed!! He really deserves it!
So...Hailey is now 6 months old (officially tomorrow) going on 18 it seems like!! She's sitting up on her own, rolling over, "inch-worming" (not crawling yet), and babbling up a storm!! It's only a matter of time before we won't be able to keep up with her or keep her quiet!! :) The "sleeping" thing is our biggest challenge...we can't seem to get her to sleep in her own crib...our own fault but now we're working on fixing it!! She's definitely a Mama's girl!!
We have tons of pictures (too many to upload here) so my next task will be to update her shutterfly page!!
Love to all,
Lindsay & Barry
