Miles - ONE Month
Miles turned one month old this past week! He's growing so fast and gaining weight even faster! His newborn clothes are starting to get too small and he's almost ready to move out of the newborn diapers! Overall, he's a very tolerant baby and pretty content to sit in his swing or bouncy seat while I get things done and tend to Mila's needs. Mila is totally in love with her brother and when he cries she'll tell me to "go get him, pick him up!" or she will talk to him and reassure him that it's okay. It melts my heart to see their special bond developing already!
Miles' one month stats:
Height - 20.5 inches
Weight - 9 pounds 6 ounces

December Happenings
December has come and gone and we are ready to welcome the new year! What a wonderful month it has been. We welcomed Miles into our family and Jeremy has been off work for the majority of the month! It has been great having him home while the family adjusts and it will be difficult to see him off to work next week, knowing it will be a while before he's off for an extended period of time again. However we are excited for February 1st when Jeremy starts his new job in Mossville!!! No more driving to Decatur every day! YAHOOO!
Here is yet another picture explosion for you to enjoy!

It's a BOY!
Miles Lee joined our family last Tuesday, December 6th at 2:40 in the morning. He was 6 pounds 11 ounces and 20 inches long. Miles is perfect in every way and has been an amazingly wonderful baby! We are so excited to see how well Mila is adjusting and she is just so in love with her little brother! It melts my heart to hear her talk to him and be such a caring big sister already!
Now for picture OVERLOAD!
Brief Birth Story:
On Monday I had my 39 week appointment in the morning. On the way there I noticed I was having a few back pains but really didn't think too much of it. At the appointment I was 50% effaced and dilated to 2 cm. As the day progressed I noticed I started having fairly regular contractions but they were not getting stronger, nor were they painful. I called Jeremy at work to warn him "this could be it" and to bring home his work computer and tie up any loose ends. I also decided to call my mom to come over and spend the night in case we needed to head to the hospital in the middle of the night. While waiting for everyone to get home I finished up all the laundry and fixed dinner. Once my mom got to our house we decided that I was actually in labor. We didn't want to wait too long to go to the hospital so I took a shower and put Mila to bed. After relaxing for a little while, the contractions started to get much stronger so we decided to head to Bloomington around 8:30 pm. Thankfully I was dilated to a 4-5 cm once we got there so they kept me. Things progressed pretty fast and Miles was born after pushing through 2 contractions. He came out screaming and even bit the doctor when his mouth was suctioned! I have been amazed how much easier this labor/delivery/recovery has been compared to Mila and I'm already feeling great! It's almost like he's always been a part of the family!

What a month
We are coming upon the very busy season of the holidays (and a baby!) so we have tried to fit in as much FUN as possible!
Mila decided one morning while I was in the laundry room to get her stool and help herself to the pasta! It was a mess to clean up but I had to snap a shot before we cleaned it all up. She thought it was hilarious to drop it over her head...I'll admit, I laughed too!
This year we got Christmas decor out MUCH earlier than normal. I wasn't sure how I would be feeling after Thanksgiving (being 38 weeks) so I got out everything but the big tree. We also thought it would be fun to have a kids' tree in the basement, so we bought her a little 4 foot tree. Mila had so much fun shopping for her ornaments and she is constantly taking them off and redecorating the tree!
Uncle Michael and Aunt Serenedy came for a visit all the way from Seattle! Mila was SO EXCITED! We were fortunate enough to have them spend an entire day with us playing and catching up on everything. Mila keeps talking about them and can't wait for another visit...even if Uncle Michael teased her with the Jack in the Box.
Once again, while I was in the laundry room, Mila helped herself to the sugar canister I have on a shelf in the kitchen. She had out all the measuring cups, filled them, and took them into the living room coffee table where she was pouring the sugar all over the table and from cup to cup. (Apparently I am in a zone while doing laundry) I of course freaked (but was thankful she decided on the sugar and not the flour!) but then saw how much fun she was having. We cleaned up all the sugar, moved the cups to the kitchen, and I gave her rice instead. She played with this for almost 2 hours and clean-up was simple! I have a feeling we will be doing this a lot this winter!
