Little Miss Teagan. Intro and Info Session.

Oh, hi, I guess it's time I introduce the Little Miss.  Her name is Teagan Brie and she just turned 7 months old.  Teagan was born on a Thursday, via induction (and one hell of a posterior-turn labor), and came into the world crying and absolutely stunning.  I knew from the minute I touched her that we would be best friends forever.  I have a daughter.  She is a bright, lovable, silly little girl who is so full of wonder.  And gorgeous, did I mention she is simply gorgeous?!?  I can't stop looking at her.  She's perfection in a little chubby package.  
Teagan Brie, 11/15/12, first day of life:

See what I mean!?!?!  Smiling and posing for the camera already...model material right there.





Teagan was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church on April 14, 2013, and she was breathtaking.


She is the most mellow, laid back baby I have ever met.  Her smile brightens my world.  Summer Fun :)


What could make Teag even more perfect you may ask?!?!  Well, what about some teeny, tiny, baby glasses of course!  When I learned that Teagan needed glasses, I was shocked.  I felt all sorts of emotions that I can't put into words.  This is all still surreal to me and I'm trying to learn what all the numbers mean and how she seemed so "normal" prior to the dr telling me she couldn't see clearly. My family has a history of amblyopia and strabismus, so when Teagan's one eye started to slightly turn in from time to time around 3-4 months, we mentioned it to her pediatrician who sent us to the pediatric ophthalmologist.  After the exam we were told that she does not have either thankfully, and it was just a broad nasal bridge that made her eye appear to be turning in. But we did learn that Teagan has high hyperopia with astigmatism. Her script is OD +6.50 +1.00 x90 OS +7.50 +1.00 x90. I cried. A lot. I cried on Thursday when we went to pick up her glasses and they put her wee little frames on her face. But I can honestly say that the initial tears that time were that of joy for her. She had a sense of excitement, she smiled and looked around eagerly. She was viewing the world for the first time all over again. I was feeling proud of myself for catching it early and being able to do the best thing for her. It's scary. I'm still trying to sort through my emotions.  It's not every day you see an infant wearing glasses.  What will the future hold for my beautiful, bright baby girl?  Will she be embarrassed by them when she's older?  Will other kids make fun of her?  I want to protect my baby from the world.  I will try to instill in her the confidence to embrace her glasses and make them just another accessory to decorate her already beautiful little self.  We all have such high expectations for our children, and when something interferes with that "perfectness" we have hopes for, it's defeating.  You can either let it break you down or you can embrace it and rock the shit out of it.  Here she is, totally rocking her Miraflex Baby Zero 2's...that's my girl!
