Baby Names

In two weeks we will find out how baby is doing and what gender baby is! That's if baby cooperates and spreads eagle. Hahaha!

We have narrowed down the names:

Boy - Benjamin Bruce Miller
Girl - Danielle Monroe Nioko Miller

BUT I am considering Emilia. I think I will talk to Josh about that. If we have a girl we will wait after she is born to determine her name. Sometimes you have to see the baby so you can decided if the name fits.

I will be 16 weeks tomorrow! Super excited. I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy is going. More on that next post.

Time to study for exam número tres. I cannot wait for this class to end.

06.30.2013 - 15 Months

Our baby boy is growing up so fast! I cannot believe he is now a 15 month old toddler. He needs to slow down because I want to cuddle him and give him kisses a little longer. Hahaha what am I saying? Even when he is 18 I will still smother him with Momma's love.

Another MILESTONE!!

JJ finally let go and walked! He has been walking since 12 months but he would just cruise walk, take a few steps and walk if we held his hand.

Today he decided he wanted to be a big boy and walk on his own! I was so proud and wanted to cry tears of joy.

Also! I gave him his first haircut.


I saved a little piece of his hair and tied a ribbon around it. I am going to put it in his baby book. His hair turned out awesome! It's a little uneven in the back but it's not really noticeable. I will be taking him somewhere to get it cleaned up, probably in a few weeks.

Daddy didn't miss out! We FaceTime'd when JJ was walking over the place. I do wish he were with us. I miss him so much.

Today was a fantastic day!

Bandl's Ring

When I was pregnant with JJ my baby belly was never round - like the letter D. My belly was in the shape of a B. Bandl's ring is a ring around the uterus that prevent the uterus from contracting during labor. I did not find this out until JJ was in distress and my temp/heartbeat kept rising. The operating doctor (NOT MY OB) told me about this condition.

Now that we know what is up with my uterus, this current pregnancy will be a scheduled c-section.

When I tell people this, they automatically assume I chose to have a c-section and that really irks me. If I could have a natural birth I would, but I can't. This is not by choice. But for the safety of my baby I will do whatever it takes.

Study Break!

I am currently at the National University Library at the Spectrum Center studying for my first Anatomy/Physiology lecture and lab exam. So far I think I have lab pretty much down (not all, but def more confident with the lab exam). As far as the lecture part goes...two thumbs down! I cannot for the life of me I cannot get any of the lecture in my head.

The library closes at 5p so I have about an hour left before heading home. I should have came earlier but I spent time with JJ.

We went swimming in the backyard this morning and it was nice. Grandpa bought us a inflatable pool. It is big enough for me to lay down in and shallow enough for JJ to sit in. He had a blast.

I am so tired. I am not physically tired but more mentally. This class is going to drive me nuts. My Mommy/preggie brain cannot handle all the information. I am so not used to school anymore. It is taking me a some time to get back into the swing of things. After this first exam I really need to get down to business because I cannot afford to bomb another test (that is if I bomb this first one!)

Study break ovahhhhh!
