McCoy Samuel

We've decided on a name!!!! YEAH! He's no longer Baby Miller, we can now call him McCoy. Picking a name is such a big decision but we're so happy with this one because both names are special. McCoy is my grandmother's maiden name and Samuel is Kirk's middle name. We have decided that we are going to call him McCoy but if, as he gets older, he wants to shorten it, we also love Mac. I feel like it makes it all the more real now that he has a name.

Another thing that could possibly be making it more real is that my stomach has definitely popped in the past couple of weeks!! My new best friends are gaucho pants and sundresses! I don't know what I would do without them.

Kirk took this picture today and I am officially a full 22 weeks. I can't believe how fast time is going. I've also been feeling lots of McCoy's movement. Mainly at the end of the day when I get home and just relax. It's the coolest feeling ever!! I'm really looking forward to the next 18 weeks and seeing how that changes and knowing that McCoy is in there growing away! I'll try to be lots better at keeping you posted!

Turks & Caicos!!

We just returned from a weeklong vacation in Turks & Caicos!!! I'm not really sure where that is...maybe near Cuba? Anyways, it really doesn't matter because we were on the beach!!! FUN!


Kirk's parents took the whole family to a resort called Beaches and we had a blast! Not to mention that I finally have a tan, which was desperately needed! Unfortunately, I didn't get too many pictures, but here are a few that I have...

Kirk and I on the pier

Kirk and Kyle ready for some snorkeling

Beaches is a resort that caters to families so there were lots of neat shows and parades all featuring the Sesame Street characters. All the shows were so cute and the parades were a blast!!! Also, during the day, the characters walk around and take pictures with the kids. I'm not going to lie...I also had my picture made with them...only because Owen wanted me to :)

We had a lot of fun but we're glad to be home! Sophie and Henry missed us! Linda has a lot of great pics on a CD and once I borrow that I'll put some more up of us all on the beach.

BABY UPDATE: I plan to post later this week with a belly pic (wow, has it popped!) and a name!!!!!

IT'S A....

BOY!!!!

FYI: The quality of the picture is awful because we don't have a scanner. So it's a picture of a picture...
That's right! We found out that our little Baby Miller is going to be a boy!! We are so excited! So, we go in for our ultrasound and the tech asks us if we would like to know what "it" is(Kirk is DYING for a boy). At this point I see Kirk lean forward and she says "It's a boy!"...Kirk's face at that exact moment was priceless!! I've never seen anyone smile so big. Open mouth, teeth showing SMILE!! So after that, he proceeds to make her repeat herself several times and even make her go back to verify and make sure. It was so funny! Of course I was just happy to see him moving around and being a little shy...he definitely didn't want to give us a frontal view too often. I love the above picture of him sucking his thumb, TOO CUTE!!!! So now we're working on names and trying to decide exactly what to do with the nursery. I'll keep everyone posted as soon as we have finalized plans for our name and room.

In the meantime, we decided we needed to practice a little. Who better to practice on than Harry ! This past Friday night Amanda and Chad had plans so Harry came to play with us! It was so fun! He is such a good boy!Our night went like this: 1. We played a little

2. As you can see, Harry enjoyed some rice cereal...He also informed me it's wonderful exfoliation for the skin that's why he likes to get so much on his face :)

3. He got a bath in the sink...he requested that we not take any pictures of this event.
4. Uncle Kirk put on his first diaper (never mind the diaper wedgie) and they both stretched out to watch some basketball.

5. Kirk fed Harry is bed time bottle. YUMMY!!

Then it was time for bed. We had such a good time with Harry. He is an amazingly good baby, we're just obsessed with him!!!! He also told us he can't wait for his new friend, Baby Miller, to get here. I have a feeling those two are going to pay Kirk and Chad back for any bad things they might have done to their parents!!! It'll be so fun!
