It's a BOY!!!

On November 22nd, 2011 I found out I was having a sweet little boy. My two sisters {gina and cara} came to my appointment with me!!!

He is pretty proud of his "BOY" parts...





He has the cutest little hands

and the longest little legs and a Buddha belly!!!

within 1 1/2 minutes after the ultrasound started he wanted his mommy to know that he was a BOY!!!!!!!

and look at my baby's feet....

I would like you meet Montgomery Gene Miller, he is a stubborn baby, I wonder where he gets it from??? hmmmmm LOL. Monty is so proud of being a boy!!! and I am so proud to be a mommy to a son!!! He has the longest skinniest legs and a Buddha belly. He is a mover and a swimmer {little fish}. He would not give us a profile picture, but we did get to see tiny hands and fingers, feet and toes. Montgomery's heartbeat was 152 and we got to see the 4 chambers of his heart. My little man is adorable and perfect in every way.

I love you Montgomery!!! Love~ Mommy

The "baby's room"

Come February, when I find a place of my own to call home, I will begin to decorate the baby's room. The crib and book shelve will be a gift from Nana & Papa and come from IKEA. I am looking for 3 white lanterns in white for the room, I'm thinking different sizes, but we will see. The colors are Orange, Teal, Brown and White. The crib and book shelve are white, The changing table, which my mom used for me as a baby is brown/wood. I will be replacing the handles and knobs, and fixing the small noticeable scratches. I am looking for a second hand rocking chair that I can stain the same color as the changing table, and I want to re-do the padding on rocker to match the room. I will also start to find the alphabet from different stores {hopefully all on sale}, doesn't matter the color, they will be painted if they don't match.

my weekend

I had a great weekend. Saturday I worked till noon, then headed NORTH!! I stopped in to see Becky and Duane, I had borrowed a Photo CD from Becky a few weeks ago and needed to return it. Then I headed to Traverse City, I did a little shopping {I went to Target, and got a cute shirt on clearence for $3. AND I'm going to be brave and try leggen's} and then headed to Benzonia to chill for the night. Sunday we headed to Cadillac to get a few things and I needed stuff for my oil change. My car did get an oil change and I did 2 haircuts :) But now I guess I cannot do haircuts or color for the week, because I must have pregnancy brain and left my bag up north! oh well!!! So overall I had a great weekend.

PENNY

So dirk got Lego's from Nana Yesterday, for halloween,and when he woke up he wanted to build his new lego boat. he asked me to help. I HATE LEGO'S!!!! but being the good Auntie/Nanny that I am I helped dirk build his lego boat. It took about 45 minutes and the boat was complete.... He loves it and is so proud of it!!! After he was done he had to pick up his living room, he found a penny and gave it to me. "Auntie, here, this is for you for helping me build my boat, I love you." and in that moment I had to remember it's not the fact that I HATE LEGO'S, its the bonding moment I had with my 5 year old nephew. "I love you too Dirk!"
