Bailey wasn't a surprise baby. We knew from the time Connor was born that when he turned two we would begin to try for our second. I got pregnant the first month that we were trying. It's amazing how long 9 months feels when you know about it from the very beginning. Our due date was set for September 25. I didn't think that I could make it til the 20 week appointment to find out if we were having a girl or boy. Finally the day came. We found out that we were indeed having a little girl! It took a while to choose a name, but we just fell in love with the name Bailey (and hearing Connor say it was too cute). This pregnancy wasn't so easy. I found out at 28 weeks that I had Gestational Diabetes. Luckily, I was able to control it through diet only. At 36 weeks we set an induction date of the 15th to hopefully prevent her from getting too big (a side effect of the diabetes).
We checked into the hospital at 6:00am on the 15th. This time, instead of the whole family sitting around waiting I sent daddy and auntie to work. It was just my mom and me for the morning. We talked, watched movies, and just enjoyed the together time. Finally the contractions hit and I got an epidural. Things progressed nicely. After only 15 hours, Bailey Anne was born at 9:09pm on September 15, 2009.
She is such a different baby than Connor. She is easy going, rarely cries, and has slept through night since she was 5 weeks old.
