Funny girl!

Becca just laughed at herself in the mirror!  Too funny!  I hope she always has such great self-esteem!

Hey, folks!
Not much time at the moment, so I’ll save the descriptions of all our fun Christmas celebrations, but here are some pictures. That’s what you really want, anyway!  Enjoy!
 
 

6-month Update (and it might take 6 months to read it…)

Posted by: speashill on: December 23, 2008

Becca and I have had a busy time since I last posted (especially for two girls stuck in the house!).  We actually had several adventures into the big, wide world that turned out to be more adventurous than we had anticipated. 
Last Wednesday, Becca had an appointment at the ENT clinic at Vandy.  John was in [...]

math

Just want to do the math for you on that last post. If she’s 7#, 13 ozs, that’s 8 ounces in 5 days. Geez!

Another weigh-in

Posted by: speashill on: December 18, 2008

Um, she’s even huger than huge. As of last night (12/16), she was 7 pounds, 13 ounces. Good God, she’s growing like a weed! Must be all that milk I used to pump at 3 a.m.
Upcoming: if Becca, work, and Christmas cards give me a few spare moments tomorrow, I’ll let you [...]

Weigh in

Posted by: speashill on: December 11, 2008

Um, I just weighed Becca (in the non-scientific manner – me holding her on the scale minus just me on the scale), and it looks like she’s a hefty, hefty, hefty 7 pounds, 5 ounces.  Wow!

Status Line

Posted by: speashill on: December 10, 2008

Many of you know that I am a facebook addict.  My favorite feature on facebook is the status line.  Each person can have one status line on their profile at a time, and you can read all of your friends’ statuses on one page and comment on them.  They can be updated as frequently as [...]

Yeah…

Lots of eloquent thoughts on miracles, Thanksgiving, and Christmas to come.  For now, though, just this:
My baby smiles at me.  Hot damn, that’s great!  I tend to smile back.
Also in Becca news:  she has developed “The Becca Noise.” (Each member of our family has a noise.  Perhaps someday I’ll share the others.)  When holding her [...]


Becca's First Picture

Just How Itty Is Itty Bitty?

Becca was born three months early, weighing only 13 ounces and measuring only 9.5 inches long, after a 7-month prenatal struggle. She is the smallest baby ever to survive in Tennessee, and one of the smallest in the world. And she's definitely the cutest. Technically too small at birth to be viable, today she is a healthy - and very happy - little girl. We still have some challenges and lots of doctor's appointment, but Itty Bitty is a lot of Big Honkin' Fiesty Fun. Enjoy peeking in at our life with Itty Bitty Big Girl Becca!
