Hurricanes & In Utero Acrobatics

Welp, we're in for some nasty weather today. Thankfully not what was originally projected for us, but nasty nonetheless.. Brett and I packed up all the outdoor furniture, brought it in the plants from the porch and I went out and bought a coloring book to keep myself company in the event of the cable going out. 


This week has been like that past few - Work, home, work, then a dose of food sickness ( I think Baby Teo isn't a fan of Mexican food ) Called out of work sick one day, got off early one day due to Dr.Germain going out of town, helped Brett at his work and now I sit at home kind of waiting to see what the weather is going to do.


 I've always been a pretty big fan of a good storm. It's sad to say that at times when you hear about bad weather coming your way you kind of think to yourself " Self.. This could be awesome.." or you also think to yourself " Self.. This could be devastating.." Either way you then realize that you're having a conversation with yourself and you feel a little bit crazy. With that being said, it's just exciting to see what will come... So I wait...


Baby Teo has been a mad man the past few weeks, lots of movement, lots of growth - Until yesterday - I guess he's kind of at an in between stage but I have to say that he's got me a little freaked out. As always I find myself scouring the internet for info about What to Expect in this kind of scenario. Thankfully I came upon this: Once you start feeling your karate kid's kicks and chops, don't panic if you go several hours — or even a day or two — without noticing any movement. At this stage and with your baby still quite tiny, it's normal not to feel regular movement. To kind of test the waters though I just poured myself a nice glass of Coke to see if I could wake the little bugger up with a nice dose of caffeine, as always, don't judge me.. It's my kid I do as  I please with him! I'll let you know how it goes.


We go to find out what my BFF Brittany is having today, I am so excited for her - And hope she gets a girl.. I think she really wants a girl, I think she really deserves to get what she wants, so we shall see...

Great BALLS of Fire!

Well folks, after 17 weeks of waiting it's official, Baby Miller is a: BOY!

Introducing Teo Miller ( Theodore Brett Miller III )

I think most women dream of pink ribbons and bows when anticipating the arrival of their first child. I have to admit that although given my circumstances I would have been happy with any flavor baby I am absolutely relieved and floored to be having a Bouncing Baby Boy! 

There's something that tells me for my first try in the Mom Dept. I am going to excel at being the mom of a little boy. I am fully prepared for scuffed knees, runny noses and my child attempting to pee on anything he can while potty training. I am prepared to find the pot farm growing in the crawl space of my attic, for girls panties stashed under his bed and to have multiple uncomfortable conversations about things he may or may not have done. 

I can admit already that I will probably be one of those mom's that will think that their son does no wrong but I assure all of you I have full intention of raising a kind and loving young man.
