In November of 2009 we found out we had been chosen to be Bexley's parents. We were excited but had our hearts broken several times before so we were cautious and only told Kara's parents, no one else. Bexley's birth mother went in to labor several times starting at 31 weeks and we were worried and scared.
We were in Idaho finishing a rotation for Landon's last year of optometry school. On December 10th we were packing up to head back to Ohio when we got the call that Bexley was here! We left that afternoon and spent the night in Utah to share the news with some of Landon's family. We drove the remaining 24 hours straight through because we could not wait to meet her We were TIRED, but it was well worth it!
The day she was born.
Our first time meeting Baby Bex. Everything went so smoothly with the birth family, we were so relieved and full of gratitude. We joined them for dinner that night and all paperwork was signed the next day.
This is how Landon spent his time in the NICU...close to his baby girl, while studying.
After a long and difficult three weeks we took her home on New Year's Eve.
She had so many visitors the first few weeks she was home and we were so grateful for the help.Grandma Jensen and Bexley:
