I’m not sure exactly what that means, but I know Gena Rowlands said it in Hope Floats when she was feeling lots of love, and I always planned to use it in my Oscar speech that is probably not going to happen now.
But for serious, I cannot even begin to express how much each comment, and email means to me and Pete. We both feel covered in prayer and that much stronger going forward now.
Just so you know, when I said I would be editing myself a bit I meant more in terms of what I shared about baby girls actual diagnosis. I probably won’t go into much detail on that because I sort of don’t feel like it is my right to share too much of her medical condition with the world. If any of you are going through an SCT or want to talk to me about the specifics directly I would be happy to discuss over email, but I don’t want to put anything too personal about her out there on the internets and have her one day be embarrassed by it. Not that it is embarrassing, but kids can be mean and I think it should be up to her to share if she wants to.
As for me, I will always tell you the real deal on how I feel and what I am going though, and when Pete is ok with it I will share his side of it as well. I hope that makes sense.
As a thank you for all of your sweet words yesterday I have cobbled together a little post.
First, baby girls crib came! Yay!!
The design plan is still going to be the same, I am just adjusting it for our new house in Austin.
The walls will be the same pink though.
And I am still going to find someone who can copy that dang fabric for me. That little guy in the corner is her bunny. From Jellycat. Hims a nice friend. Hims real snuggly. The ombrione cut velvet I am using for the gliders which are getting made as we speak.
Also. Pregnant ladies. Do you know about Rosie Pope?
Besides her show Pregnant in Heels that I am obsessed with and truly feel is a personal gift from Bravo to me, her maternity line is like whoa. 
I like it all, and it is all really well made and makes you feel like you are wearing real clothes.
Not sad lumpy people clothes.
Specifically her twill jegging is uh-mazing.
It makes my large pregnant ass look fierce-ish, and I am sure anyone out there who has ever been pregnant barreling into their third trimester knows that is no small feat.
In conclusion. I love you all. Thank you so much for all of your support.
xoxo
Never heard of rosie pope before so thank you for sharing! I hear you on “barreling” into the third trimester
Thanks again for being so honest with your readers. A good friend of mine is dealing with a very sick baby right now and being able to connect with others who are sharing their stories has given her a bit of peace.
BTW – that pink is beautimous! And what color is the crib? Is it white or a pale blue?
Love the crib! Where did you purchase it? Also, I LOVE Rosie Pope.. and PIH!
Congrats on your baby girl! Your post yesterday was unbelievably touching. As a Mother, my heart goes out to you and your husband. I know you will have the strength and resources to raise a healthy, loved baby girl.
Nursery is coming together beautifully! And that white flowery dress is so you. : )
Rosie Pope is hilari. My mommy friends also love this maternity line, check it out… http://moreofmematernity.com/
dying over the crib- where oh where can i purchase that ombrione fabric in the us??? i cannot find it online…
Your post yesterday was very touching. My heart goes out to you and Pete and baby girl, but I know that your faith and your strength will get you through this. I am also a Texan and so glad that you are able to come back to your roots and be near your family during these times. Us southern girls are strong and can endure anything! Especially with a Sweet Tea in hand
P.S. Did you paint the crib or did you buy it in that color?
lovely crib, love the blue contrast with the pick walls, great work as usually!
I love the crib with the pink walls – it is all going to look amazing.
My pregnant friend was wearing Rosie Pope the other night when we went out to dinner and she way outdressed me. It’s super cute!
you need that white strapless number. and rosie is amazing. Im not preggo and prob wont be for like ever, but I agree, Andy Cohen gets a gold star in heaven for putting this show on the air. why she hasnt been on an aftershow yet it beyonf me.
anyways, hugs and kisses to you and pete and the baby nugget.
ps..also random question ive been meaning to ask..what type of sando is pete eating in Rue. It looks delish.
My best wishes and prayers for your baby girl, and her quick recovery from this frightening episode. Glad you will be around family during this time!
The crib is a light slightly minty blue, it is painted Spearmint by Dunn Edwards (5729). You could either just buy a Jenny Lind crib from Babies R Us or wherever and have it sprayed with that color, or you can order it through Art For Kids.
LOVE the crib! I can’t wait to see what you do with the new bebe’s room. I say a little prayer for y’all every time I think of your post yesterday, which is like all the time.
I live in Houston and am about 10 minutes from TCH. Please let me know if you need ANYTHING while you are here. Your sweet girl will receive the best care there and will be sleeping in her beautiful crib in no time. Take care of yourself.
I have a 19 year old daughter who received a bunny similar to the one in the crib. We call the bunny “Curly” and yes he went off to college with her this fall!! You might want to buy a spare, just in case she gets attached to the bunny. That way there won’t be any trauma if it gets lost! Trust me on this.
I found your blog the other day and spent hours reading it! You are a lovely person with great style and I fell in love with your wedding! I added you right away to my blog roll and am sending prayers your way and to your baby girl.
xo
I love how you incorporate color in everything you do! So fun and happy. Your posts, particularly yesterday’s, are thoughtful and poignant. You will be a great mommy to a lucky and happy little girl. Lots of great things are in store for you. Sad to see a great talent leave Chicago, but family is #1! (and this ick weather is for the birds.) if you believe in the power of positive thinking, you are all set, because we are all rooting for you!
Hi Bailey,
I sorta feel silly posting messages so often to a blogger. I have never sent a message to a blogger that I follow before ever … but you I have sent a few messages to cuz you are awesome! So I was worried when you posted initially about some challenges going on that it was the baby and/or the pregnancy. Your post yesterday had me so sad and I am sorry that you and the baby are having these challenges. Keeping you and baby girl in my prayers and I know all is well with both of you!! XXOO
A member of my family just went through the same thing with their daughter in the last year and everything turned out very well. Email me if you would like her email address.
You and Pete are so thoughtful and mature. By foreseeing future hurdles for your daughter, you are showing just how wonderful you both will be as parents. We are all thinking and praying for you.
Rosie Pope’s stuff looks great, but kinda pricey! Do you know anyone doing similar looks for a middle-class budget?
Love the crib!
What a beautifully touching post. One thing is for sure – no matter what your little baby girl encounters in life, she’ll be blessed by your love and support. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!
I OWN THAT BUNNY! My fam loves jellycat animals… I also have a pig. And sally has a lamb. We sleep with them and no, we are not ashamed. Maybe just a teeny bit
Gorgeous crib!!!!
xxoo
