Meet Renee Joanne Bailey!

 

Renee Joanne Bailey was born the morning of June 3rd, 2013.  She was 8 pounds and 20.5 inches long.  Perfection.  She is cute as a button and has been pretty easy going and laid back.  We could not ask for anything better!  We love her so much and Addison & Caroline love their new baby sister!

 

Here I am around 5:30am, right before we left for the hospital.  The c-section went well and the recovery was better than the last time which I was thankful for.

Addison's reaction to her new sister :)

...And, back to playing.

Coming in to meet Renee.

They were very excited and happy to meet her :)

 

I guess this is my "I just had a baby and surgery" expression.

They were super silly and in great moods all morning.

Going home!

 

Our time in the hospital was pretty restful and great considering Renee was only a few days old.  I am thankful for all the great nurses and doctors who took care of me and Renee.  It was also a lot of fun to have visitors this time around since we were not allowed to have any with Addison and Caroline since they were born during the swine flu season.  It was a lot of fun and thanks to everyone who visited us!  We thank God for Renee's safe arrival and that my surgery and recovery went well!
