We’d like to take just a moment to thank everyone who brought us a meal over the past month! We enjoyed many fresh and delicious dinners that we didn’t have to plan, shop for, prepare, and serve, and consequently we were able to spend more time just being parents during these first few weeks of [...]

Thank you to our meal-bringing friends!
April 17, 2010One month old today!
April 15, 2010Beatrice is one month old today! Here are a few of our favorite memories from the last couple of weeks. After Bea’s umbilical cord fell off, we were able to give her a real immersion bath for the first time. She likes these way better than the sponge baths and sits quietly in the warm water [...]
We Might be Biased….
April 7, 2010Yes, it’s true, we already think Beatrice is the cutest, most wonderful thing we’ve ever laid eyes on, but this photo of her in her Easter finery just confirms it: More photos can be found here. The end.
One of our favorite things
April 7, 2010Prior to Beatrice’s arrival, one of our friends recommended that we acquire an exercise ball. This was also recommended by our doula for me to sit on and help encourage little Bea to come on out! We weren’t really sure about it, but we made the investment. It was fun for me to sit on [...]

Beatrice’s Story Part One: Risky Business
March 29, 2010Miraculous. Perfect. Evidence of God’s hand at work in our lives….this is Beatrice’s story. In July, we first found out about little baby Beatrice’s presence in our life. After our first doctor’s appointment in August, we told our family members. We waited until the second trimester to spread the news to everyone. This was tough [...]
What’s in a name?
March 24, 2010Beatrice Annakaisa McPherson took her first breath Monday, March 15, 2010 at 11:28pm. Prior to her arrival, we did not know if she was a boy or a girl so we’d picked two names (yep, you’ll have to wait until we have a boy to find out that name). Upon announcing her arrival, we’ve had [...]
