Milestone

Our dental school journey is finally nearing the end. This past Saturday Matt completed his final boards exam and PASSED! Here's a picture of him and Millie after it was all over.

She's here!

Approximately one month from my last post and who knew so much would change... Amelia was born on March 11, two weeks early. She is adjusting well to her new mom and dad. I'm impressed with her coos and little baby sneezes. I even love watching her sleep. It's crazy to think we made her! With God's help, of course. So far, she has been to the movies, taken her picture with the Easter Bunny, slept through church service, gone on several shopping excursions- mainly to Babies R Us and Walmart, and hung out with mommy's friends. She's such a social butterfly.Her favorite things are strolling around the neighborhood and bouncing in mommy and daddy's arms.

Week 37

Baby is due March 24. Mom Morris pulls for an early due date. We'll see. So far, I'm not feeling any Braxton Hicks and the dr will not check any possible dilation unless I ask her to. Maybe tomorrow I will. Enjoy the pic.

Girl's growing up and she's not even here yet!

Time is getting nearer. At 33 weeks (in the pictures) I feel really big but am still loving being pregnant. It's so exciting to think she'll be here before we know it!

Week 29- 82 days to go (give or take) but who's really counting

The holidays are over, 2008 has arrived, and we've started preparing for Little Millie to be here. This weekend my mom and family came to visit. My mom and I shopped for the remaining furniture and accessories for the nursery. Matt and Jim painted the room and put up the chair railing. It looks so great! All we need now is a few more wall decor and the furniture! It should all be completed in the next 8 weeks.

As for Amelia, she is growing .5 lb a week between now and her birthday. My belly is as big as a basketball and growing by the day. Her kicks are just about every minute.

Matt and I have a lot of decisions to make before she gets here. Like picking a pediatrician, our career choice, selling the house, passing the licensure exam in Feb/Mar and the big one,... what will Amelia's middle name be? I pray and know it will all work out.

Enjoy the latest and greatest of my big fat belly shot at week 29.
