SNOW

We had a surprise snow storm today. It was cool to have it, even though it won't be sticking around. The kids were able to play in it and sled down a hill in the neighborhood. Grace got to see her first snow, as if she knows what to do with it or know how much fun it is to play in. It certainly didn't take long for her little cheeks and nose to turn red.



Steve had the pleasure of pulling Haley down the hill on a homemade sled.

Two Month Checkup

Well, Mommy and Grace both made it through the first round of shots at her two month appt. Wow! I knew that I was going to be emotional, but I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to see someone hurting my baby. I know that they are giving her vaccinations for all the right reasons, but it doesn't make it any easier.

Now for the current stats:
Height 24.25 inches
Weight 11 lbs 13 oz

Her weight is now in the 70% range of the charts, height is in the 90% range. She is growing just great and the doctor said everything looked perfect. After chatting with doctor about amount of breast milk I am getting when I pump, she is thinking I may not be producing enough for her, even though she seems very content when she eats. So I am now taking fenugreek and drinking 'mothers milk' tea to see if I can get even bigger boobs...Yippee! Whatever I need to do to make my baby happy and healthy.

FIRST SANTA

Not the most exciting event for Gracie, but she is going to have to realize that she is here for our entertainment. This will probably be the only sleeping on the lap of the ever merry one that we will have. Next year will probably end with a wet spot on the old red suit and lots of tears.

One Month Old

Wow! Where does the time go? I can't believe that my little bundle is one month old already. She is changing everyday and I am enjoying every moment.

We have moved into our new house. We have been here a week now and still settling in. A few more boxes need to be unpacked and the remodeling can begin. Steve has already been busy redoing one bathroom and painting the family room. It is nice to be in our own home finally.

INTRODUCING................................GRACE

Here she is the much anticipated introduction of GRACE MARIE MILLER. Grace weighed in at a trim (not) 9 lbs. 7 oz. and 21 1/2 inches long. Mom and baby are doing very well and want to thank everyone for the well wishes they have received.

And the waiting begins

Here I sit on Maternity Leave. The doctor told me to quit working last Friday. So I did what I was told. I have had no twinges of labor at all. I think that she is not going to be here until Oct. 11th still. Not sure why I think that is the day, but a gut feeling I have had for a while. And my doctor said last week that I will not be going over a week over my due date without intervention. So, really the latest I will probably deliver is Oct. 12. Wow! That means no more than 12 days from now I will have my baby here.

Update on the house. Found out today that the bank wants to close and be funded by Oct. 15. If we don't then we have to pay them a per diem for every day after that. Unbelievable. So we are waiting to find out if this is all going to get done in time or we may have to see if bank will extend dates....Closing on a house doesn't happen in 15 days...!!!

HOUSE APPROVAL!!!!

OMG. We finally got approval on our offer on the house. Now the inspection is going to happen on Thursday and we should be home owners by the end of October. Here is the house...www.rmls.com search # 9052476. It should still come up even though it should be officially off the market at this point because we are buying it!!!

Now I can't believe that I will be moving with a newborn. Gracie is due to make her appearance on Oct. 5. Wish us luck!!
