| Sweet Baby Miller~ Below is a picture of pregnancy tests letting us know you were on the way. Mommy and Daddy were so very excited. It just didn't seem real that God would send such a miracle our way. We can't wait to meet you in person and spend the rest of our lives loving you!!!! |
| Sweetheart~ It's so hard to know where to start. You need to know that LONG before you were conceived, you were conceived in the hearts of many. There are so many people who are anxiously awaiting your arrival and who already love you. Through mommy and daddy's 8 years of marriage God has been preparing a family just for you. By now you already know mommy and daddy's voices, but soon you will meet so many more. Just to begin with: there is your Great Grandfather Dana, Mimi and Pop Sandefur, Grandma and Grandpa Miller, Uncle Scott, Uncle Sean, Aunt Linda, Uncle James, Aunt Hillary, Uncle Gary, Aunt Kathryn, Uncle DeWayne, Aunt Koreen, Uncle Mack, Cousin Sophie, Cousin Phoebe, Cousin Colin, Cousin Caleb, Cousin Mackenzie, Cousin Shannon, and new baby Cousin Rachel (born April 3rd). We rejoice to know that you have already met your Great Grandmother Nana. She went to Heaven on July 3rd along with your Great Aunt Lucille. Oh how Nana loved sweet babies. In her last few months here with us she was remembered as saying that she was afraid she would never get to be a great grandmother. I am thrilled at the thought of what she did when she first saw you. Did she laugh her delightful laugh or did she cry as she whispered her undying love to you? I know, without a doubt, that she was the first to call you "Darling" for she always recognized the darlings of the world long before anyone else did. We were all lucky to have been touched by her love. |

| My students can't wait to meet you. Whether I'm standing in the hallway or sitting in my rocking chair, I'm very likely to have a head pressing against my tummy. It's never bothered me to have hands on my tummy. We just can't wait to have our hands on you!!!! |
| I love you, little baby You're such a part of me. Can't wait to hold you in my arms, And hug you tenderly. No matter what you look like, You're beautiful, my love, A precious gift bequeathed to me, From heaven far above. Each time I feel you moving, My heart is filled with joy, To think that very soon I'll hold My little girl or boy, I'm counting every moment, Til you're here, my sweet It won't be long until your birth, Then finally we'll meet. -Adapted from Sharon A. Blevins |
| Until We Meet... |
 |
 |
| This is your "Mimi" (you have no idea how long it took to come up with her name). You will get to be the first to call her that. She was Mommy's mommy--and a very good one at that! |
| This is your Uncle Sean and his sweet wife Aunt Linda. They live right up the road from you so you will be seeing them A LOT! Uncle Sean will teach you all about baseball, football, and hunting. |
 |
| This is your uncle Scott. He has the true gift of touch. You will love being held by Uncle Scotty for hours and hours. |
| This is your "Pop" with Mommy & Daddy. Pop is Mommy's daddy. He is a very wise man--although he would humbly disagree. Pop is very good at diaper changes and snuggly tight hugs. |
 |
| This is Mommy's family when she was little: Pop, Mimi, Mommy, Uncle Scott, and Uncle Sean. |
 |
| This is your Dana (great grandfather). He's reading the book "Song for a Baby" which is how he found out that you were on the way! |
| Plenty more to come... This page was just started on April 17th so we still have a lot more to do. We will be adding excerpts from our pregnancy journal and including other types of special information like that. Thanks for visiting. Please sign our guestbook and feel free to drop us an e-mail! |
 |
| I have absolutely loved being pregnant thus far. I'm just half way through, so I know tougher times are coming for me. However, I am thrilled that God is sharing His gift of life with me. I just want to jump up, scream, and shout to the Lord!!!! |

 |
 |
| This is Uncle Seanny and your two cousins: Sophie and Phoebe. Sophie and Phoebe also live right up the road from you. They are expecting to have a new baby brother on April 18th. We are all very excited about our new babies in the family!!!! |
