PAYSEN ALEX MILLER.. Born JUNE 21,2012

Our little boy is here!!! WOOT WOOT.. We couldn't be happier in life then right now! We keep saying I never knew life could be so good and so sweet. We are filled to the brim with joy and happiness and our cup runneth over! All that is spoken in our home is gratitude to our Heavenly Father with the blessing of Paysen. I truly feel as though our life has just begun in the sense of what life is all about.

 My little man and me.. Paysen I hope that all through your life I can show you what you have done to my heart! I love you buddy, and could never imagine my life without you!

                                                         First time in Mommy's arms

 Paysen has been the best baby from the beginning as soon as they laid him on my chest he was calm and didn't really cry again.

PAYSEN made his arrival at 10:14 pm, Thursday June 21, 2012.  He weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces and was 20 1/4 inches long. We were admitted into the hospital at 12:15 AM Thursday morning to be induced. That night was a little rough. We had problems getting IV's in so my whole left arm was sore. And then my right arm was also sore from the antibiotics that they had to give me for the strep B. agh that stuff is awful! Then it got better when morning came.. I was dialated to a 2 around 7 AM.. Then we started to have really heavy contractions around 11:30 AM and they gave me something so that I wouldn't feel them, at 1 pm I was given my epidural that I didn't even feel and started to love life after that:) I was then dialated to a 6, and the next time at 8 pm that they checked me I was a 9!! My doctor said lets wait till 9:30 then start pushing.. So when 9:30 came my nurse and Alex were going to do some "practice" pushes with me,  well the second time that I pushed here came a head.. My nurse then freaked and ran yelling I have to call the doctor!! Alex looked at me and said I am so full of so much emotion right now:) We cried together knowing soon we would have Paysen in our arms.. My doctor then got there and ten mins. later so did Paysen Miller!!

Soon after they sewed me up I was quickly taken away from my two boys, as I was he-merging and going in and out.. It was such an outer body experience I knew in a sense what was going on and yet I didn't. My heart rate and blood pressure dropped a great deal and I had a lot of people working on me. That's all I really remember of that. Finally by 3 AM, everything calmed down and I could eat:) And most importantly I was with my two boys again. A little scary thankfully everything was alright in the end.

39 Weeks.. on Thursday!

My sister in law Jen took our last pregnancy pictures at Morgan Lake today :) We had a lot of fun today doing them even with the wind!! We go to the hospital tomorrow at midnight to be induced to have our baby a week before his original due date. We are so excited to meet our son!

Happy Father's Day!!

 I want to start with this amazing quote regarding father's
" Fatherhood is not a matter of station or wealth; its a matter of desire, diligence, and determination to see ones family exalted in the celestial kingdom. If that prize is lost, nothing else really matters."
~Ezra Taft Benson


I first want to do a HUGE shout out to MY DAD: Happy Father's Day I am so thankful for the blessing that my dad has always been in my life. I really cherish our relationship and glad that I have always been a Daddy's girl!! I am grateful that we talk daily and for the best friend that he is to me. He means so much to me! I love you Dad with all of my heart and cant imagine life without you. I am so thankful for your patience and unconditional love that you have always had in my behalf. You are of course my hero and I ve always have wanted to be more like you. Thanks for the sweet testimony that you have and for always sharing it with me, and for instilling in my heart the gospel of Jesus Christ, I am so thankful for the righteous father that you are. I love you so much.

I am so thankful for Alex and for him being the Father of our "Children" We found out last week that I will be induced on Thursday so our little boy will arrive then:) We are anxious and excited that this next week he will be here! I know that it made today really special and Ill cherish the talks that Al and I had today regarding our baby.

Alex woke up to this that I made this morning. Its my hands and we got a 3D picture of our baby this last week and they did one of his hand.. so its our hands and then you open it and it says "we love our daddy... THIS MUCH."

                                                What's Father's day without a homemade card :)

I am so thankful for the husband that Alex is and for the way that he shows his love and devotion to his family, especially me. During this pregnancy I really have struggled with feeling good, and we have had a lot of things come our way health wise and I have never been so taken care of. I know that our love is one of a kind and his selfless service in my behalf in all of it has really taught me more about our Heavenly Fathers love for his children and the love that our Savior has for us. I am so grateful for the man of God that Alex is. I am so excited to be a mommy but I am even more excited that my children will have Alex for their Daddy. He hasn't missed an apt. or when I ve been in the hospital etc. I truthfully haven't had to make breakfast or lunch this whole time and he usually always does dinner as well. It has been so nice when being sick to feel the love that he has for me, with not a word of complaint ever. He also always is surprising me with the sweetest notes through all of it, or something that I love just to make me smile. I know I couldn't of done this without him. I love that He loves everything about becoming a dad. I love you Alex!

Mommy and Paysen! We sure love you sweetie~

The 3D pictures that were taken last week. He just barely measured at 7 pounds! He is squished in there though so ready to come!! (his nose is really smashed in these:)

                     Our sweet Paysen sure takes after his DADDY :) Thank goodness he gets his good looks!

After Church we had all of Alex's family over for dinner and games! So fun. We sure love them and getting together for family time. We had a Blast tonight with each of them. We made teriyaki chicken, corn, red potatoes, a fruit tray, and a veggie tray! So yummy! It was a great Father's day spent with the ones we love.

A BIG SHOUT OUT to my amazing sister in law JENNIFER, KATIE ( a really close friend) and  my mother in law CONNIE for putting on such an incredible baby shower for us. We had so much fun! Everything was perfect! I am so thankful to be apart of such an amazing family. You all have made this time so special for us. We love you so much.

Here are the outstanding decorations:)

Also they had everyone fill out an envelope with their names and addresses and gave us thank you cards

                                                 Lemonade, blueberry lemonade.. Love the straws

             The remarkable banner that hung over the food table.. and onesies that Jennifer made!

We had a blast with the games.. One where everyone put something funny on a diaper for us to laugh at when we changed him..  So fun to read what everyone came up with. We also did a baby madlibs too funny!! It was about our trip to the hospital.

                                                Each table had three of these vases on them.

 Loved that Alex was able to come to this one and be apart of the fun along with the other guys that came:)
