Cousins

Sophie and Lillie’s cousins Noah and Julia came down to visit over the weekend so they could meet Lillie. I got some pictures of the four of them together but haven’t gotten them off my camera yet. Kristina sent me this one though and it looks great so I’m just posting it instead. Noah and [...]

The Baby

I had promised some new pictures a while ago, they are now online at lilliness.com and sophication.com, so check em out.
We are doing well at home now, our biggest problem is still just arguing over who gets to hold the baby. Becky has an unfair advantage because Lillie wants to eat every 15 minutes or [...]

Labor and Life At Home

We just brought Lillie home today. We stayed in the hospital from Wednesday until Friday morning.
Mother, Father, Baby and Sister are all doing well. The biggest issue so far is arguing about whose turn it is to hold Lillian, and that’s not a bad problem to have.
Contractions started at 6:30pm on Wednesday. I had said [...]

Lillie Has Arrived!

Lillian Treat Stafford was born on September 20th at 11:03pm. She weighted 8 pounds 4 ounces and measured 20 1/2 inches long when born, and is basically just as cute as a button. We’ve just arrived home from the Hospital but will post many more pictures when we have the time.

Getting Ready

It looks like Lillie will be coming on Thursday, Shad’s Birthday. Because she’s been resistant to coming out to meet us, the doctor has advised that if at our Wednesday appointment there are no signs that progress toward labor is being made, we should induce. That being said it there is some progress, we will [...]

What are the odds?

If you think the crash and the overdue baby were humorous, you’re sick. No really, if you think that was funny, here is the icing on the cake.
We decided to take the afternoon to run some errands across town. Because our “good car” is now our “totalled car” we had to take our 1989 Toyota [...]

We might need to start a new pool

We went to our baby doctor again today — on the official due date — and he saw no signs that Lillie is coming any time soon. I think his quote was something like “what have you done with your cervix?” as it is now less dialated than it was 2 weeks ago. Becky is [...]

Happy Birthday to Becky

Today is Becky’s Birthday. Happy Birthday Becky!
If you get a chance, give her a call and say hi. She’s home with Sophie today (and they have ballet this afternoon) so she won’t have a lot of time to chat, but I’m sure she’d love to hear from everyone.

Update on the Pool

Well, most of us who predicted the early arrival of the baby were way off. Becky has been having contractions on and off (with one bunch last week that had us packing bags for the hospital before it subsided) and has shown most pretty much all of the signs of early labor, but still no [...]

Cats in Hats

Molly, Sophie and Jon were all “The Cat in the Hat” in the Eugene Celebration Parade, representing the library. Sophie was a good little kitten and she and Molly wore their outfits and face paint for the entire day! As you can see, Sophie was pretty much as cute as she could be.

FYI

This is more of a Becky-centric post, but I figured that ya’ll are more likely to visit this site than mine.
I am no longer in the workforce– I am officially on maternity leave now. So, I no longer have access to my work e-mail. Please e-mail me at becky@philoarchaeologist.com
In other news, all is quite well [...]

The Invalid

Becky is continuing to get better after her accident. Her foot and ankle are a lovely shade of blue and are swelled up enough that some might describe them as “grotesque” (of course not within range of her hearing). She is in good spirits though and is honing her skills on the xBox while she [...]

Becky’s Accident

I was in a car accident on Friday, coming home from work. I’m alright (I’m writing this, after all) but more importantly Lillie is alright and no one else was in the car.
I had a seizure in the car while driving and drove at roughly 60MPH into the concrete divider. Passers-by called 911 and I [...]
