Medicine Free!

Posted by: speashill on: September 26, 2009

For the first time in her 463 days of life, Becca just went to bed with no medicines.  For the first time. 
At her 15-month appointment, we decided to discontinue her Zantac, which she’s been getting twice a day for reflux since before she came home.  She’s had Tylenol the past couple of days to give [...]

Just have to share this deal:  get a fancy nursing cover (the kind that lets you see your baby while you nurse) and pay only shipping!  Go to https://www.uddercovers.com/cart.php and use promo code “cafe,” and you’ll only be charged the $8.95 for shipping (which is awesome, since they usually cost $32!).  I’m getting a few for [...]

Becca had her 15-month well baby appointment yesterday, and she did great.  She had two shots (MMR and flu), and she barely cried at all - 1 tear.  Crazy.  She weighs 13 pounds, 14 ounces and is 23.75 inches tall.  Her head circumference is 17 inches, which is actually somewhere around the 5th percentile for her [...]

Becca is 1 – again!

Posted by: speashill on: September 25, 2009

While we were gone, Becca had her second first birthday!  The one year anniversary of her due date was September 14.  Now she is undeniably a one-year-old.  Remember, we pay the most attention to her adjusted age, which is her gestational age based on her due date.  Theoretically, then, she “should” be doing everything a [...]

Um…

Becca’s somewhere down the hall.  Better go check on her.  I love having a crawling kid (seriously)!
….
In the bathroom, of course.  Where she knocked over the dogs’ “other” water bowl.  (No, not the toilet.  I gave up and put another water bowl for them next to the toilet to discourage toilet-drinking.)  Why do kids all [...]

Here-a We Go!

And we are off!  John and I are heading to the airport now, and Becca officially begins Nana Camp.  I’ll try to keep you posted on her adventures, as well as a few of ours…wish us all well!
Thanks SO SO SO much to Nana Dana and G-Diddy for taking care of our princess while we [...]


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!
