Naming of the baby

So I forgot to write in his name last time I wrote, but we've definitely decided to name our little baby boy Samuel Michael Mills. I don't know where it came from, but it just popped up in conversation awhile back and it just stuck. And Michael loves his name so much that he just had to pass it down to his firstborn son. Figures!

We're so excited and again just can't wait for our bundle of joy to come! :)

Baby Boy


Yesterday we went in for an ultrasound and we were wanting to find out what we were having. She started and right away there it was. He definitely wasn't shy, and really wanted us to know. It was so awesome to see how big he is and to finally have a name. I don't know how people can wait a whole 9 months to find out. It was hard enough waiting 18 weeks.


Anyway the baby is healthy and I guess he weighs about 8 oz. From his head measurements I'm a week further along, and I'm thinking, "Oh no! His head better stop growing or I don't think he'll be able to make it out." Obviously that's not true, but we'll see when that time comes in April. I'm just a little scared for that moment, but once he's here I know it'll all be worth it.


The night before the ultrasound I was complaining that I hadn't felt the baby yet, and I just really wanted to know there was a baby in there somewhere. So of course Michael says let me have a talk with our baby. He says, "Baby, you've got to let mommy feel you. She wants to know you're in there." And no sooner than 2 seconds later did I feel movement. It was amazing! And then he just wouldn't stop moving. I finally asked Mike to put his hand on my belly to see if he could feel him and sure enough he felt him kick, punch, or move once. Then Michael says after a little while, "At least we know our child is obedient." And I thought, "Yea, maybe when you speak, but he didn't listen to me at all...." I just thought it was so funny.


We're so excited for our little baby boy and can't wait for his arrival!
