The Healing Begins

Well it has been a week since we learned the bad news about our baby. Like we said in the previous post even through all the tragic events of this week we feel like God has been very gracious to us.

We told Bailey the news a couple of days ago. It was one of the things that I dreaded the most. She handled it like a champ. She is old enough and smart enough to understand that the baby is gone but still young enough to not be very effected by it. She asked several times why the baby got sick but then left the room and returned with with an arm full of babies. She handed me her babies and said "Here mommy, you can share my babies". She is so sweet.

We had a good day today. The three of us went to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch. It is Bailey's absolute favorite place to eat. It has her two favorite things; pizza and games. We came home and Bailey and I laid down and took a nap together. When we woke up we all went outside and spent a couple of hours playing tee ball, riding in the barbie jeep, and other various outside toys. Then we walked across a couple of empty lots and picked lellow(yellow) flowers. Austin and I had to walk all the way back to the house without her. She had to walk back by herself really slowly carrying her bouquet of flowers (like she was in a wedding or something). Austin got his phone and took some pictures of her. That started it. She then went to several other spots asking daddy to take more pictures. We finished our day with American Idol or Hollywood as Bailey calls it. What more could you ask for?
