.Due Date.

Today has been the day I have dreamed of for 9 long months..

it is my due date.

I often imagined what this day would bring..

the heavy anticipation of our baby girl's arrival..

posing for 40 week maternity photos, loading the car with hospital bags, attempting to read and understand my body, giving our dog the extra attention he has been craving, praying and praising God for the miracle He was about to complete, and enjoying being a family of two just a little bit longer..

Today..

I am simply blown away by the works of our Heavenly Father. 

Today instead of preparing for our first baby..

I am here and honored to introduce you to Penelope Layne Miller. 
Our little sweetheart made her surprising arrival on July 1st, 2013 at 9:26pm weighing 6lbs 11oz and measuring 19 3/4in long.

I never imagined my baby girl would be (almost) 1 week old on her due date. 

Today..

I am in love.
I am forever grateful God chose me to be Penny's mommy.

I will try to write soon but first..first, I must sleep :)

  14. Just came on your blog to see if there was a new post even though I saw the announcement on FB. She's so darling Katie! Congratulations again! I hope you're loving every second and enjoying her. It goes so so fast and there's nothing like tiny babies--though bigger babies and crazy toddlers are an awfully lot of fun too. ;-)

  15. Hey there! Just wanted to see if you are okay since it's been awhile since we heard from you on your blog. I hope all is well and you are enjoying that little bundle of joy! If you ever feel overwhelmed and need someone to talk to feel free to email me any time at butterflyem4 at gmail dot com. Being a new mom can be really overwhelming at times, I've had four kids now and believe me I understand! Blessings to you <3
