Brylee's First Bath At Home









Dimples







Brylee Comes Home





On May 26th, two weeks to the day from when she was born, Brylee was able to come home. Since Makenzie was not able to come into the NICU they were finally able to meet! Makenzie loves Brylee and can't stop giving her hugs and kisses.


Brylee is such a joy to have at home. She is on a nice schedule of eating every 4 hours. We are so happy to have our family together!

Brylee's Story







Room Number 2W58 became Brylee's home for the next couple of weeks. The first few days were rough as Brylee experienced a multitude of complications, but things only moved forward in a positive direction from there. I cannot say enough good things about the nurses and doctors at Northside Forsyth and the care that Brylee and I recieved. Each day goals were set and Brylee made strides. She was able to get rid of one wire/tube at time until she had virtually none for her car seat test before we went home.


Brylee is such a strong little girl and has the sweetest personality. She hardly ever makes a sound and if you are lucky she will flash you her dimples!


Darryl and I are so very thankful for the support of our family and friends. We appreciate all the prayers and could certainly feel the love!

Darryl's Graduation



Two days after Brylee's arrival Darryl was scheduled to graduate in Athens. He completed his Executive MBA from the Terry College of Business with honors. We are so proud of him. Way to go Daddy!

Baby Brylee Arrives-EARLY!



On May 10th I was sitting in training at work when, much to my surprise, my water unexpectedly broke! Brylee was not supposed to arrive until June18th, but I guess she had other plans in mind. Once admitted to the hospital things slowed down quite a bit. I was allowed to try to deliver the on my own the next day and night, but no luck.


Brylee Elizabeth Cox was born by c section on Thursday, May 12 at 7:05am. She was 5lbs and 4oz 18 inches long.


I was allowed to have a brief moment with her and Darryl before being taken to the NICU.

Mom's Graduation






SO PROUD OF MOM! What a joy that we were all able to be together to help her celebrate such a great accomplishment!

Payton's Third Birthday at Cath Air






Makenzie went non stop at Payton's third birthday party. She had a great time and especially enjoyed the bubbles. She has been obsessed with them lately!
