Friday Night.

It is Friday night and my attempt to sleep early has failed. I grabbed my MacBook Pro and decided to blog away. It is funny how I used to write everyday in a journal...religiously. My day was not complete until I had my little journal time. I actually have not written in a journal in a while. Probably since hubby came home from deployment (March 2011).

Now everything is via internet. I have kept a couple of blogs while also having a journal. Now I am just going to blog...well...for now that is. Having a written journal is more precious than a blog. At least it can be saved for Baby Miller to read when he or she is older. Maybe I will start another journal, maybe I won't. It depends really...I need to find that perfect journal. Every journal that I have and have filled has special meaning. I have yet to find that one journal that I can document my life as of now.

I guess I am still looking for it. For now...it is nothing but good ol' blogging.
My brother stayed with me a few nights and my Mother came over earlier for dinner and to pick him up. It was nice. I made my lasagna, my Mommy and bro's favorite, and we sat at the dining table and had a nice dinner. It was so nice to have company.

With hubby sailing the ocean blue...it has been lonely around here. I am not really alone, I do have Baby Miller with me all the time. I just miss my husband. I miss his company, I miss him sleeping next to me, I miss his hugs and kisses...I miss all of him. I really cannot wait until he comes home. Just need to make it
through this weekend and he will be home in no time.

One Phone Call.

One phone call from my hubby totally made my night.

I haven't heard his voice since he left for this long underway. Hearing his voice made me feel so much better. I love him so much. I am totally gushing right now. It was amazing to hear the love of my lifes voice.

I cannot wait until he comes home. I miss him so much.

I LOVE MY HUBBY <3

A little bit more...

I created this blog to document my and my hubby's journey throughout this pregnancy, after the birth of our baby and our life together.

I think I will also make this my personal blog as well. I am going to pretty much use this blog for everything from pregnancy to personal experiences and everything in between. It is wayy better than creating a second blog for personal use. This blog is now and forever my main blog. I still have a Tumblr (heyywonderful.tumblr.com) but probably won't be blogging on that one anymore. It'll still be used but for random pictures and such.

This blog is more than a pregnancy blog. It's going to be about my wonderful life with my amazing husband, our baby, and life's many splendors.

First Ultrasound

I had my first ultrasound on September 7th, 2011. Here is baby Miller's first picture @ 7 weeks and 6 days... To hear the heartbeat is such an amazing feeling. To know that this little bean is growing inside of you...oh my goodness...there are really no words to express how wonderful it is. My little blessing <3

From the beginning...

The day I found out I was pregnant I cried my eyes out. Hubby and I have been trying since we got married. Every month was a disappointment...oh how I hated my monthly visitor for visiting me every month. Then during the month of August...no visitor. I was super tired during that week...it was so weird. I mean I have been tired but this time around I was REALLY tired. It was the week my visitor was supposed to come. I have to rely on calendar days when it comes to my menstrual cycle. I do not have any kind of pre-menstrual symptoms...an occasional pimple or two and just being really sleepy. The exact day I was supposed to get my period I had a feeling...so after work I automatically drove to CVS. I did not think twice about it. I went straight to the pregnancy tests. I purchased the three pack EPT's. Went straight home... I took three tests! HAHAHA! I had to make sure. Then I took one on August 11th... And another one (the last one) on August 12th... After that I totally believed it for realzzz. LOL! How I told my hubby... On August 12th hubby came home from underway. So...I invited my Mommy, Daddy and broski over for dinner. Auntie Alpha helped me set it all up. I got off work early...10am. Auntie Alpha came over after she got off from work, we picked up food and stopped by Baby's R Us. I purchased four baby bibs...each one saying..."I LOVE DADDY", "I LOVE GRANDMA", "I LOVE GRANDPA" and "MY UNCLE IS SINGLE" (something to that extent). My brother knew beforehand and I had told my Dad over the phone because he wasn't able to make it to dinner. He had a bowling tournament. He was super excited and started to cry over the phone...you could hear it in his voice. Joshy came home first...I was so anxious for my Mom and bro to come over so I could share the amazing news. Hubby took a shower and got ready. Mommy and bro showed up a good half hour after hubby did. While Mommy and hubby were getting their food...I handed them napkins which the baby bibs were wrapped in. As soon as they opened their napkins...sheer shock. LOL! My Mommy kept saying "really?" and hubby stared at the bib and then at me. HAHAHA. It was an amazing moment and all caught on video!

Here is the video...

It was a most wonderfully blessed day <3

10 Weeks <3

I decided to start a pregnancy blog to document everything - baby ultra sound pictures, my emotional rollercoaster, food cravings, baby bump pictures and everything in between. Pretty much my and my husbands journey...this is our love story.

Today I am 10 weeks pregnant!!

I need to do one blog post that recaps everything from finding out I am pregnant, telling my hubby and family the good news, first doctors appointment and first ultrasound. I also need to post pictures! That will be on my to do list this weekend.

Today was a good day. I was just super tired. I took a nap when I got home and now it is almost midnight and I am not at all sleepy. For sure I will be feeling it at work.

I cannot wait to get this blog really going. Fun times ahead for sure.

xoxo
