{Blessing Bailey}

Bailey was blessed Sunday, November 20th. 5 of Dean's 7 siblings were in town for his sister's bridal shower, and instead of having everyone make another trip down, miss it or postpone it until Christmas, we decided to just do it then. With all of the Farars, Chadwicks and other local family there, we managed to make our already large ward HUGE! It was really nice to have all the family and friends there to support our little family and our new sweet baby girl.



Just before it was time to bless her {ie Ward Business had already started}, Bailey decided it would be appropriate to poop. I was tempted to just send her up poopy, until I checked her. There was poop exiting her diaper! She had already gotten it on her booties and her onesie. I panicked. I grabbed a diaper and wipes and booked it for the hallway. There was no time to make it to the mother's lounge, so I did the world's fastest poopy diaper change right there on the foyer couch {don't worry I put a blanket down!}. Luckily ward business took longer than normal and I made it back just in time to hand her over to Dean for the blessing.



Then, to make things even more exciting, Bailey screamed through the whole blessing! Everyone in the circle did their best to help her stop crying, but she was not happy! By the time Dean sat down again, he was sweating bullets. He said he had a hard time concentrating, with the emergency diaper change and the screaming! Nonetheless, it was a beautiful blessing and definitely a memorable moment!

I saw you run out super fast and figured that was what happened! And don't worry, she cried but we could still hear what Dean was saying. :)

Man, I just totally laughed about all the "drama" she created and picturing Dean sweating bullets and then started crying, because of how beautiful families are. I am so grateful for sweet little babies to remind us of this! :) Wish we could have made it 6 out 7! We can't wait to see you guys!
