Merry Christmas!

Lila Love Miller is here! Born Dec. 20, 2008

Lila is coming!

Breathing in, I see myself as a flower.
Breathing out I feel flesh.

Lila is due tomorrow!

Who knows when she'll really come... Miles was two weeks late. But, we are ready and awaiting her arrival. A friend took some belly shots this weekend as I am not sure if I will have another child and I wanted to record being a full belly mama!


Miles has been absolutely adorable and sweet about Lila's coming. He talks about her a lot and makes presents, pictures and cards for her. He has even learned how to spell her name and always lists each of our letters "M, T, S and L." He says he is going to share all of his toys with her!


Tony and I are feeling incredibly happy and blessed, despite all of the craziness we've had going on - our full time jobs and taking care of Miles, of course, touring and applying for kindergartens for the fall... AND, we are in contract to buy a house! It is a bigger house that opened up next door to the cohousing community where we live and if we get it, we will knock down the fence and merge yards, just as we did with our current home. But, we have to sell our home first. So, I am due this week, we are planning a homebirth AND we have two open houses scheduled!

Amazingly, I feel at peace. I'm finding time to take baths, read, welcome Lila and spend special time with Tony and Miles. I can't wait to be on leave time (Tony is taking 4 weeks!) and to just enjoy being at home with Tony, Miles and Lila.
XOXO,
Suzie
