Bailey is Here!

We got ourselves a precious baby girl!
We couldn't be more excited.
Bailey Pope Doster! 7lbs 9oz born at 9:01 Monday morning January 26th!
All day we kept saying, "I can't believe we have a girl!"
Brooks was so excited when he walked into the hospital room, we told him it was a baby girl and he said "it's just what I wanted!"
Brooks took pictures of Bailey for show and tell on Friday at his school.
Baby Bailey, you are so loved, your brothers love to come check on you in your baby swing every time they come in the room.
You are so lucky to have big brothers, I know they are going to love and protect you so well!
We are so thrilled to get a little pink around here.
Your daddy is going to be so smitten!
Bailey, I hope one day you will know what a treasure you are to this family!

We are in for a wild ride with 3 kiddos under 4 but we are so blessed. Tired, but what a full life that I wouldn't trade for anything. At times I wonder how I am going to juggle it all, especially when Trip goes back to work but I know we will get through this season and there is so much to look forward to.
Trip is the best dad and husband, he is so helpful and making this transition so much easier. I can't wait until I am fully recovered from my c-section.
 I Hope Bailey has a husband like him one day and I hope the boys grow up to be husbands like their daddy!
God is good!
A few pics of the first few days with Bailey, we see a lot of Brooks and Ford in her…...

The night before you were born

Tomorrow is the big day for our baby #3's arrival.
I am so excited and nervous at the same time.
I am thrilled to meet this precious one, but nervous of lack of sleep and juggling 3 kiddos.
I know God will carry me through this season. I pray I could find peace and rest in the Lord, I pray I wouldn't miss what God has for me during this time.
I can't wait to see what God has in store for this family!
We've only just begun!

Dear Baby, 
We thought you might come early and we have been waiting every day for a possible arrival but you have made it to your scheduled c-seciton day!
 Your precious birthday will be Jan 26th 2015.
We are so thrilled for your arrival. 
We have been anticipating it for months and we are ready! 
Your brothers are so excited to meet you,
Brooks hopes you're a girl but we know he will be excited if you are a boy that he can play with.
He has been tellings us "2 more sleeps until the baby, and 1 more sleep until the baby…."
I think Brooks and Ford are going to be great big brothers.
We have notified all our friends and family for the big day and they are so excited to meet you too! 
So many people are anticipating your arrival and praying for you little one.
We can't wait to meet your face and call you by name.
We know God has knit you together perfectly.
We dropped off your brothers at memaw and d-daddy's and we got to have a nice date at Houston's tonight before your big arrival!!
You are what we have prayed for and you will always be dearly loved and tomorrow we will never forget how you entered our world.
Here are some pics of your brothers in the weeks before your arrival!
