15 weeks....

Hey everyone. I went to see Dr. Tadvick this morning. Before I went, I had every intention of asking for a sonogram. With Jame coming home next week...I wanted to be able to tell him what we were having. However, the nurse could not find the baby's heartbeat and so Dr.Tadvick did a sonogram to look at the heartbeat.....no worries....it is normal not to detect the heartbeat at this stage. Our baby has grown so much over the past few weeks. It is now 8in long. I saw the baby sucking its thumb and patting its head with its hand. It also turned and looked right at me. Amazing!! I did see the heartbeat and it was strong. Dr. Tadvick then went down to the feet but everything was so blury that he couldn't tell the sex. Darn!!! Looks like I will have to wait 5 more weeks to find out. Anyway I wanted to share this with all of you. We hope you all are doing GREAT!!!

Oh and the first picture is just a profile. The head is at the right. The bottom picture shows the baby's arm going to its mouth.

Little Miss Priss

Hey everyone. Isn't this picture just too funny. Maddie always pretends she is on the phone. She says, "Hello." ---and she sounds just like a valley girl.

We got some good news yesterday. My brother, Jame, will be coming home for two weeks on May 20th. We are so excited...I swear it feels like he has been gone longer than 2 months. After this visit he for sure will not be able to come home until next February or March.

We just celebrated Nick's 27th birthday. He worked the whole day and then had to go take a final...some birthday huh?? We did manage to eat dinner together. Oh and Maddie and I worked all afternoon to learn the Happy Birthday song...and she did. She sang..."Happy Birtday you....Happy Birtday you...Birtday daddy...Birtday you." It was so cute and I think Nick even teared up a little.

Well I hope you all are doing well. Talk to you soon.

Sping has Sprung

Hey everyone. Things have been pretty busy around the McMillon house. Nick is trying to finish up this semester at McMurry. I have had meetings and paperwork that take up most of my time. And little Miss Maddie is now 1 1/2 years old. So hard to believe. Yesterday day she said, "Mommy ,where is Stawberry." I said, " I don't know Maddie, where is strawberry?" She said, "Stawberry at home." A little bit later she yelled out, "Stawberry, where are you?....Come here." Maddie has found a new friend in Strawberry Shortcake and loves to watch her movies, look at her pictures and sing her songs. It is just precious.
Here are some pictures that we took a few days ago. We could not get her to look at the camera. She just wanted to pick the bluebonnets. SHHHH...don't tell...we know it is against the law but we had so much fun watching her play. Maddie loves being outside and really pitched a fit when I told her we had to go. The pool opens in a couple of weeks....can't wait for that adventure!!!

Second Sono and some other things...

(The baby's head is down)

Hey everyone. I went for my second sonogram this morning. As you can tell...the baby is much bigger now. My due date is November 2. (and for those of you wondering, maddie was due nov.3rd) Dr. Tadvick said everything looks really good. I will go back in 4 weeks to hear the heartbeat. I will also go on June 18th to Dr. Mayberry to find out the sex of the baby.

In other news...Maddie is sick. She has an ear infection and a throat infection. I am home with her today. I think she will be well enough to go back to daycare tomorrow.

Also, my mom called last night. My brother's friend, Dale(he is in Jame's Unit),called hismom and said they were doing fine. It was good to hear they were safe and doing good.

That is all for now. Hope you have a Wonderful Day!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like EASTER....

Hey everyone. We had such a Wonderful Easter Holiday. It was a very busy time for us. My parents came down for a visit on Saturday and Sunday morning we kicked off the festivities. We went to church then had an easter egg hunt, then ate lunch and had an easter egg hunt and then went to bible study group and ate dinner and then had another easter egg hunt. Oh and Maddie also had an easter egg hunt of Thursday with her daycare. All of this was happening while it was snowing and sleeting and the temperatures were in the 30's. But that didn't stop us. Maddie still wore her spring dress (just with a coat on)and hunted eggs like the temperature was 80 outside.It was a Wonderful day and we feel so blessed to have spent it with our family and friends.
Here are some pics.

A little Sentimental....

Well this morning I pulled Maddie's Easter basket out of the hall closet. Last year we bought the cutest basket. We took some of the cutest pictures last year of her sitting in her basket. Today when I pulled it down Maddie instantly wanted to carry it. She kept calling it a "box". I got a little sentimental thinking back to when she was so little and able to sit in what was then a huge basket. Now she can carry it. She picked it up and headed for the front door saying "bye bye" as she was walking. Her daycare class will be practicing all week for their BIG EASTER EGG HUNT on Thursday. We will also be doing two more on Sunday...with the last being with our Life Group. There are some BIG kids in our group so hopefully Maddie will have "the hunt" mastered by then. I will take plenty of pictures to post on here. I pray you all have a wonderful and reflective week on what our Savior did for us. He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed!!!!
