Today we had newborn pictures done in Terry by Mrs. Charlotte Stringer. She was absolutely amazing! Jayce did so good. I am so proud of him. We got some really good shots! Here's a peep.

Saturday, December 18, 2010

WooHoo! We got to come home. We were so excited when Dr. Moses said I didn't have to stay all 3 days because I was doing so well. I am so glad to be at home with my little man. I have a ton of fluid on me right now and am pretty sad about that but they did give me 5 liters in my IV in the hospital. My little man was so precious on his ride home!

Thank God we finally have our family!! I am so excited to see what the future holds!!!!

OH WOW!! We have a beautiful little baby boy!!!!! He's 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20 inches long. The balloon did turn out to be very painful throughout the night but I was dilated to 4 cm by 10:30pm and did not require the cervidil. This morning I got my enema and shower around 5:00 and then had pitocin started around 7:00. The contractions were every two minutes and quite painful. Dr. Moses came in around 8:30 and broke my water and we had a slight problem. At some point Jayce Rylan had turned. He was breech. I went at 9:00 for a cesarean section. I was very nervous but the staff at River Oaks were awesome. Richie was by my side the entire way and everything turned out perfect. I was up walking that night. Everyone was astounded by how well I was doing!

Wednesday, December 15,2010

Today is the day that we are going to the hospital. We have to leave at 1:30pm so we can make it to River Oaks by 3:00pm. I am super nervous but I know that God will take care of us. Next time I should have some pictures!!!!!

Thursday, December 9, 2010

Times are getting hard. I can't sleep, can't each much at all at one time but yet I am always hungry and today was my last appointment before I go in next Wednesday for a balloon for manual dilation. I have not dilated any on my own and I am very nervous about this cervix balloon because I have been told that it is very painful. I guess I will be able to form my own opinion real soon. Pray for Richie and I that everything goes ok.

Tonight is my last night of work before we welcome baby Jayce into our lives and into this world. I am so glad that I get a break from that ER. I love what I do but goodness, it was time for a vacation!

Thursday, December 2, 2010

Time is going by so quickly! Work is getting more and more difficult. There has been a little talk about me taking off maybe a week before I have Jayce because my body is just tired. I went for my 36.5 week checkup today. MRSA swab was negative. My blood pressure and weight are good. I am so excited about this being the last few weeks before I get to see and hold baby Jayce! Now I am going to the doctor every week and so time really is moving on along!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!

Here's to another doctors appt. down. Today we found out that the group B strep was negative and today I had my MRSA test done. I am sure it will be positive being I work at UMC in the ER. I figure that's just a given. :) I am super pumped, we have maternity pictures scheduled with Jenny Lynn Photography in Wesson, MS the 19th. I hope they turn out good!

Thursday, October 28, 2010

We are having to go for check ups every two weeks now so today we went for the group B strep test. It was less than pleasant but it could have been worse! Hopefully it will be negative. I am sooo ready to have this baby!!!Work is starting to get a little trying. I am just tired and working nights is taking a toll even though I love what I do. I have noticed that patients are nicer to pregnant women!

Thursday, October 14, 2010

Today was our first appointment with my new doctor, Dr. Shea Moses at River Oaks. I am soooo glad I found her! She made Richie and I feel so welcomed and comfortable and is very informative! We are 29.5 weeks today and we are planning induction on December 16 to have our little angel! I am so glad Dr. Moses was ok with this. Today I got my Rhogam shot because I have O neg blood. It wasn't that bad. I am steadily gaining weight and everything is looking great. We were blessed today. Richie and I got to see our little man on ultrasound again. He is precious. We also went shopping for some of his first outfits today. I am going to go broke before he gets here! We had so much fun!

Thursday, October 7, 2010

Bad News! My doctor has taken FML leave. Her husband is very sick and she wil not being seeing patients for the rest of the year! I now have to find another doctor. I am so frustrated right now because she was wonderful and her husband is the man that helped Richie and I get pregnant! Hopefully everything will work out for her but off I go to searching for a new doctor!

Doctor Hampton called today, my glucose test was normal however, my blood counts were low. I have to start iron today along with my vitamins, no wonder I am tired. I am starting to have an appitite so I guess that's good. I haven't eaten hardly any red meat since I found out I was pregnant. I have been craving fresh fruit and veggies, not MEAT! My sweet, sweet hubby has been so good to me during all of this too. I have been sleeping a lot and he rubs my feet until I fall asleep. I couldn't ask for a better one! I love my life!

Thursday, September 23, 2010

Today makes 26.5 weeks. We had our glucose test this morning (my orange drink wasn't that bad)! Just means we are getting closer and closer to the big day. I am so excited!!

Thursday, August 19, 2010

Today was a GREAT day!!! Richie and I got to see our little man on a detailed ultrasound. The doctor said all of his organs appear to be normal. Richie and I have picked out a name already.... Jayce Rylan Miller. Jayce was moving around like crazy today so it made for a great ultrasound viewing. I am still feeling sick and can't eat much at one time. I find small, frequent meals do better than larger ones. I am feeling Jayce move a lot now. It's also getting harder to sleep. I am a tummy sleeper and Jayce is making this a little compicated but I just love him so much already that this is all worth it. I am showing and having to wear maternity clothes. I am starting to feel like a MOMMY!!!

Thursday, July 22, 2010

Had a doctor's apptointment today with Dr. Hampton and everything is looking text book. I am 17.5 weeks today. I am beginning to feel little gas bubbles in my tummy and some abrupt movements at times. When I wake up, day or night, I feel motion sick which is made much better by Zofran. I can't wait to see my little angel that God has hand picked for us!!

Thursday, July 1, 2010

I posted awhile back and mentioned studying for my CEN because I won a certificate at work to take it for free. Well I took it this morning and I passed!!!! I am super excited about the certification because I am not just a regular, non-specialized nurse, I have a nationally recognized certification!!! I am going to begin studying for my CCRN soon, so wish me luck!!!

Thursday, June 24, 2010

We had our second OB visit today and had our first real ultrasound that you could see the baby. It was so active that you can tell that it is a little boy. My mom, Richie, and his mom were all there to see the little one for the first time. Richie and I have names picked out for either. If it's a boy his name will be Jayce Rylan Miller and if it's a girl her name will be Adyson Faith Miller. The little munchkin flipped completely over and was moving it's arms and legs. Everything is going as planned. I am at 13 weeks now so I am not feeling as sick however my face stays broken out. I will give up what little beauty I had for my little one though. We also heard the heart beat today, it was the best sound in the world!!!

Thursday, May 13, 2010

Today is our first OB visit. I have chosen to use an UMC MD for my OB care. Even more interesting is that it is the wife to the man who helped get me pregnant. Dr. Hampton is my OB and I can't wait to hear more good news. The symptoms are only worsening though. Thank God for Zofran!!!

Thursday, April 29, 2010

Our very first ultrasound was done today! We got to see the yolk sac but that was about it. Richie wasn't able to get off work for this visit because my dr.'s office changed the appointment at the last minute but my bestie Katie Spell was there with me. It was very special!! We are still pumped!!! I am actually starting to feel the pregnancy now though. I seem to stay tired and dizzy/nauseated. I can't do much because when my feet hit the floor I feel like my world is spinning! P.S. This is not a complaint!!!

Thursday, April 22, 2010

We went today to see Dr. Cowan and get a BHcG drawn and it is 331. Dr. Cowan continues to tell us that everything is going along just like he has planned. I have a little miracle inside fo my belly!!! And the look on Richie's face when we get even better news is priceless!!!

Sunday, April 18, 2010

Today is the greatest day so far in my life other than when I met my dear husband Richie, we have a plus sign on our pregnancy test!!!!

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Today we are headed to Dr. Cowan's office to get labs drawn to see if the HcG shot I took worked. We are super excited. Hopefully we will have some good news!!!

Saturday, April 10, 2010

What a fun-filled day!! We barbequed and played basketball most of the evening with the children after Richie got home from a golf tournament then watched the UFC fight. Alexis and Cade spent the night and then Sunday we were woken up by Kerri, Buck, and my mom who came to visit. Before the children went home we attempted to fly kites in the front yard. We forgot one important thing... it has to be windy!!! After the kids left Richie, Mom, and myself went to the country club and played 9 holes. Man was it terrible. Oh well!!! We had a blast!!!

Thursday, March 25, 2010

Today we went to a Reproductive Endocrinologist and got some wonderful news. Those that are close to me know what that news is. I will post a little on this matter but not much in the next few months just because Richie and I are keeping it really quiet. We are super excited and can't wait to see what God has in store for our lives. In the meantime I am studying for the CEN in which I won a certificate to take this exam for free!! I have also took up basketball, Richie bought us a goal the other night and we have had a great time playing in the front yard!!

Thursday, March 18, 2010

Today we are to close on our house in Crystal Springs and we are super excited. Our life has really changed alot lately. We are renting a house for a year in Brookhaven and then hope to build or buy something in Wesson, MS. Our jobs are still the same so the drive is a bit tiring but Alexis, Payton, and Cade are about three miles down the road. We have aleady gotten to spend alot of time with them and we have only been here a week. We have a large front and back yard, about three times the size of our last one so Zack and Layla love it and we can play football and frisby in the yard!!! GOOD TIMES!!!

Sunday, March 14, 2010

WOW!! We had a BLAST!! Lots of music, St. Patty's Day Parade, green beer, delicious food, and dancing in the streets!!! Man I love my life!!! We also took a carriage ride with Elisha and Bobby, it was cold but very nice!! And the bed in our room...let's just say it was comfy!!!!

Friday, March 12, 2010

Today we left for Memphis, Beale Street. We are staying at The Westin and are super excited. There are three couples going, one of which is a childhood bestie and today is her birthday! Happy Birthday Elisha!!! We always have a blast when we go on trips with these guys so I know this will be an interesting weekend!!!

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Wow oh wow it has been awhile since I posted something on here. Richie and I have been so busy lately. We really have been enjoying our time together and apart. I went back to work at UMC ER in July and love it. I have been furthering my education with reading and studying different texts so that I can be a great ER nurse. Richie on the other hand has been playing a little basketball and getting pretty good at making those three pointers!!! His team won first place at the tournament at the Byram First Pentecostal Church and also at The First Baptist Church in Brookhaven. All that really matters to me is that he is enjoying himself. Richie and I have both started playing a little golf and are very excited about selling our home and moving close to Brookhaven Country Club so we can become members. I also will be close to Alexis, Peyton, and Cade and will be able to spend lots of time with them. Rich and I have a weekend getaway planned with some friends in two weeks in Memphis and we can't wait. We also have an appointment with Dr. Cowan at UMC this month and are excited to see what new options lie at our feet. Maybe next post I will have some really fun pictures and better things to talk about. Until next time.....
