A Post for the Mama

By special request....of my mother...I bring you this post.

As you may or may not remember, I've attended four childbirths in my life. (Same family - four kids.) During childbirth #2 and its accompanying 21 hours of labor, I spent a lot of time staring at a sign in the hospital room. It had a variety of faces drawn on it and below each, the explanation of what said face meant. This was supposed to help us interpret our laboring friend. (Personally I just took my cues from the degree of hand squeezing and the intensity of the crying, but I can see how cartoon faces could be of assistance.)

My Mom has mentioned that I have a variety of facial expressions and wanted me to do a post on the many faces of Bekah. So...in case you aren't sure what they mean, I thought I'd give you a little guide.
1. HELP!!! (Seen most often when touring the south of Florida in my bathing suit without my ID.)


2. Now listen here, Missy!!!!


3. Check THIS out! (Meaning the pen. Come on, people.)



4. Oh look! I've gotten myself in yet another awkward situation so I'll just laugh my way out of it!


5. So close.


6. YUM!!!!!!!


7. Rebel in action. Don't tell.


8. Please don't let me kill anyone.


9. Whew.


10. Watch it, buster.



11. What's my next line????



12. Can I have another one of those brownies??? (That will only be meaningful to you if you remember the story from Jonathan and Austin's open house.)



13. Brrrrrr.



14. Shoveling is for the birds.


15. Are you KIDDING ME????!?!!?!?!?!!!!!!!


16. It's a good little day.


17. Please don't make me go.


18. This is a bad idea.


19. Don't mess with me. I haven't percolated yet.


20. Seriously?


21. Focusing......focusing....



22. Fear.
