Well, Miller baby is going to be 24 weeks old tomorrow morning. She is big, and moves all the time, especially when her daddy is nearby. She hears his voice and her little legs start running and her arms start to pound as if she wants to get out SO bad to play with him!
I feel her growing and moving, and its amazing to me that she's learning her motor skills right now, trying them out on mommys insides!
Today ive been thinking about getting to meet her, and honestly trying my hardest not to wish time away too quickly. Im enjoying being the one to care for her and with her constantly, but i so desperately wish to meet her. My coworker Sarah had her baby this morning, 9 ibs 2 ounces! I cant even believe she gave natural birth to that big of a baby! Gracie is doing great and so is Sarah, exhausted however after being up all night.
Its been such a weird pregnancy watching someone just a few steps ahead of me in her pregnancy. She was bigger, she wasnt sick, she had her shower, all of her biweekly appointments, when Gracie finally flipped over, and this whole time ive been 3 months behind, just watching and knowing sometime soon ill go through it, but man it seems like forever.
I guess im still not big enough to be too noticed, maybe people are being cautious, or honestly dont notice. My belly is getting big, and sticks out in front of me like a little round muffin top :) but its going to take people even longer to notice, which is just fine with me. Eventually they'll get it, and ill be 8 months along, and suddenly im on maternity leave and no one even knew :) Its like the best kept secret!
Our little girl is so precious, ive been dreaming about her constantly, and she is beautiful in my dreams, and it just makes me SO anxious to meet her.
I remember when we found out i was 6 weeks along, and now here i am at 24! So its already been flying along SO fast! I only have 16 weeks left until my due date, isnt that crazy! In just a few weeks we'll be bringing home our little baby, and everyone will be sitting by the phone waiting to hear how big she was, how long she was, what color hair she has, and who she looks like!
What an amazing and miraculous process this is!

Her name shall be called...
I had a couple of the most incredible dreams last night. Before we went to sleep i was cuddled up against Bryce's side and the baby was going crazy! Ive never felt her so intenseley so many times in a row! She was rolling against him and pushing on him, kicking him, punching him, you name it, anywhere my belly touched her daddy she was touching it! Ive been prayin for so long that he could feel her more often so that he can really feel a connection with her, and boy did he! She loves her daddy, he was laughing and talking to her and she was definitely responding to him!
When i finally got to sleep i dreamt i was standing in a kindergarden class and this little girl was running around playing with the other kids, she had straight brown hair and bright blue eyes and was absolutely beautiful! She looked like me, and yet somehow like Bryce, and i heard someone, probably the teacher say her name ( which i wont type on here yet, we're praying for another confirmation that this will be her name) and she looked right up at me with a huge grin. It was breathtaking, she was definitely my little girl, a glimpse at her at 4-5 years old. Wow, if that doesnt give you chills! When i woke up it was 3am and she was doing somersaults in my belly, as if she was getting a kick out of the Lord showing me a little picture of her. When i fell back asleep i dreamt of her as a baby, tiny little girl with dark hair like i had when i was born, and beautiful blue eyes, and Bryce and i were avidly discussing her middle name. Finally we settled on the first we ever discussed.
Bryce woke me up a little while later kissing my cheeks after his morning run, so i excitedly told him all about our little girl and what i heard the teacher call her, and he was excited as well because we have been praying about names for our little one for SO long! He even came up with a cute nickname from the initials she would have!
As soon as we're positive that the Lord gave me the dream to help me name our little one, i will let you all know (or just mom, since i think only she reads this).
The Lord is so good! How fun is this?! Im loving it
Oh and the baby finally moved up another inch, shes now about an inch above my belly button (right where she should be!) and it weighing a pound, at 8 inches long! Shes incredible! I cant wait to hold her!
