Week 39 & Beyond!

WOW - so as most of you already know - we are home with our beautiful baby GIRL!
Ms. Gracie Anne Michelle Miller made her appearance November 19th

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Labor & Delivery was quite the adventure. It all started Tuesday night when we thought we might be onto something only to make the trek to the hospital to be told - nope, not today. At my appointment the following day my doctor tells me she may let me go as far out as the 29th and THEN induce me. NOT what I was expecting nor what I was wanting to hear! We were ready for our little one but the doctor didn't seem to think it was time. Wednesday night as we are getting ready for bed around 10, I began to feel a little "off". My back started bothering me more than usual and I kept feeling like I needed to pee...3rd time's the charm I guess because suddenly there was a gush! "Steve...." I think he was more in shock than I was. Could this really be it?? Off we went - and there we stayed! And a mere 16 and a half hours later (!) we were kissing the beautiful face of our little baby girl. There truly are no words to describe how incredibly blessed Steve and I feel to have our little one here. It's definitely not easy, but it's the most rewarding job we've ever had.

Little Gracie is pure joy and we both find it difficult not to sit and stare. The facial expressions and little quirks of hers are so fun to watch. We are so excited to watch her grow each day and get to know her as her personality starts to really develop.

I am working on pics but things as you can all imagine are pretty hectic around the house. Just trying to get into a "routine" - haha - and working on getting Gracie from nights to days...so fun. :)

Special thanks to each & every one of our friends and family for their love & support on this wild ride. You all made our journey that much easier & that much more fun. We love you all!

Ally, Steve & Gracie!

and Tabi too! :)
