“Show a little faith” and Superman.

A funny thing just happened. Funny as in curious and noteworthy; I was just cuddling in bed with my husband and the baby. I heard my daughter playing quietly in the next room, not sure when she woke up, but knew she was entertaining herself. But I wanted her. I wanted the four of us to ...

“That was an IUD.”

So, my first time at Build-A-Bear Workshop was unforgettable, for all the right reasons. My daughter and I shared the most special day. That day she got diamond hearts in her ears, and "Diamond Heart", the sweet Pony doll. My second time was no less memorable, as it involved a lost child and some consommé at ...

The Woman in the Window

There is a period in my twenties about which I have not written very much. In trying to think about why I have left this out of my story, when I share so much of my story, I think that it is because I wasn't always as open as I am, so sharing the story of ...

Handling things.

I realize that I am completely biased here, but I think that my daughter is pretty darn special. It isn't just that's she is cute (she is) or beautiful (she is) or funny (she is) but she is so sensitive and so wise. Sometimes, her wisdom confuses me, as I have to remind myself that she is, in ...

Human again.

It's a funny thing; It has been so long since I have written on here about having named my daughter after a Disney Princess. If you click on that big magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner of this page and type in the words "Disney Princess" you will be shocked at how many ...

My angels.

In the span of 20 hours, I was given two signs, one from each of my angels. I am choosing to interpret them as reminders to be strong. It is hard, sometimes, to remember, but, as my fortune cookies said on Sunday night, "Fate will find a way." Yesterday my mom randomly spotted this feather on the ground, next ...

Show a Little Faith…

I woke up singing this song. I think my strength symbols are reminding me during this big, emotional week. Give it a listen. Hopefully it is a peaceful way for you to start your day. With strength, Love, Becca (and Superman) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHsJVYXXHbA

A Birth Story-My Sequel: Part 3

When we left off, I was being wheeled into the OR in the afternoon for a surprise C-Section, 4 days early, at 38.5 weeks and scared as hell. I am a very superstitious person and look for signs all around me. During the scary, unknown part of my first unexpected C-Section with my daughter, I was feeling helpless and ...

March Forth

Hey, what else can we do now Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair Well the night's bustin' open, these two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back, heaven's waiting down ...

Man of Steel

Happy Birthday, Superman. I see you in each and every one of the baby's smiles. She is named for you, after all. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHsJVYXXHbA] Show a little faith, there's magic in the night... Miss you more.
