Week 3


 Yikes! I can't believe how fast time is going! Little Beth has already been hanging out with us for 3 weeks.  We have had SO much fun and I've never been happier!
I've also been pretty camera happy and just can't resist showing off how cute my girl is...

 


(Don't you love that bow?!)


My mom bought Beth this darling owl outfit and made her an owl blanket before meeting her. Little did she know, Beth's eyes look just like an owl's!



We were SO lucky to have a visit from Nana, Spencer's mom, this week. Bethany loved all the cuddles she got from Nana. Spencer and I loved the chance to talk to her and soak in her wise advice.


(This is a constant struggle Beth has--why won't both her hands fit in her mouth at once?!)




The other night, Spencer pulled out his guitar and played it for Beth. She was fascinated. Her eyes stayed as round as they are in this picture almost the whole time. I loved it, too! I'm excited for more nights of playing and singing together...Thanks Spencer!


 


We introduced Bethany to football a few nights ago. She took a very wise approach, snoring peacefully through it, but feigning a cheer with her hands up like this. Go Beth!


Anyway, that's all for now. All bias aside, is she not one of the cutest babies you've seen?!

(Also...special thanks to so many who have sent adorable outfits for her! I thought since we didn't find out the gender, she would be wearing green and yellow the first year. But, as you can see, she is well stocked with adorable pinkness. So thank you everybody!)

The Beginning or the End?

Published and paid for a short story. Can i call myself a "writer?" Maybe a bad time to pursue a second career, with medical residency and a new- born. But hey, drinks (soda) on us tonight, our place! All invited...

Welcome Bethany Maurine!


Our sweet little girl came January 1st--the perfect way to start our new year!


She was very excited--as you can see!



And so were Mom and Dad!

 


She's already been out for an outing, a Dr. appointment. Mom was a nervous wreck, but little Beth handled it like a champ!



We've been lucky to have Granny (Mom's mom) come help us transition home. She's spoiling us with cooking, cleaning, tending so Mom can nap, giving baths, and answering Mom's bzillion questions.





We are so excited to have you here, little Bethany! You are precious!
