My Story


Thanks so much for checking in on our precious baby. Cassandra Noelle was born at 12:32 am on Christmas Eve via emergency c-section. She came into the world crying and has been a little fighter ever since! She weighed 1 lb 5.8 oz at birth and was 11 3/4" long. She was only 24 weeks, gestational age, making her almost 4 months early.

Not actually a whole lot to report about Miss Cassie!

She continues to do well at school. I'm about to put a new picture up of her first day back to preschool (as a 3-year old!) wearing the jumper that Bama made for her birthday.

Cassie is talking more and more all the time, though her tendency to leave off initial consonants makes it hard for most people to understand her. It's fun to see her vocabulary grow by leaps and bounds each day though!

Most of the time, Cassie is a delightful child. She plays well, laughs often, and eats a variety of things. But those times when she's not delightful? Holy mackerel, look out! She can yell and scream and throw tantrums unlike any we've had to deal with before. I'm really hoping that, as her communication skills improve, these will lessen. But, for now, we're just riding out the storm...

Cassie's 3-year well-child appointment is next Wednesday. I'll have some new stats for you then!

Take care and stay warm-- the wind chill's WAY below zero here today!
