BB Miller Blog

While I was pregnant with Faye, I kept a blog here on blogger.com. After she was born, I made her a LiveJournal using her initials and birth date as her user name. While I was using Blogger.com, I had this quote as the blog description. I moved it to LiveJournal and now I'm moving it back here.

I look forward to your birth, when I can kiss your skin,
but for now I will just smile, As I feel you play within.

Pregnant

Today I found out that I am pregnant. 4 Weeks and 2 Days. Estimated Due Date is between 6.9.2008 and 6.11.2008.

First I was happy, then I thought "oh crap!" It's funny how you can think "what the heck did I get myself into" and at the same time be worried because the first trimester is such a touchy one. I have cramps and feel like I'm getting my period. It's normal, it happened last time too (as it does with all pregnant woman), but it is still scary.

They shared and took turns really well!

We went to the Twins last home game on Sunday (23rd), but I didn't take my camera and I'm totally bummed about that.

We also have wild things...

Maddox told us that the monster's where going to get him. We asked him where they were, he said in his bedroom. He also told us that they are bigger than him. I asked "are they happy?" and Maddox said "No, they're grumpy!" I asked "well, are they at least nice?", Maddox said "yep!" When Clayton asked if they had names, Maddox said "uhhhh, ummm, they're named.... Wild Things!"

So now we have a little blue Dinosaur that likes coffee and is really slow and some grumpy, but nice Wild Things!

Picture Post

I was going through fixing the links to the pictures (I've made them all Private on Flickr due to some conflicts with other Flickr users and so the link address changed) and I noticed that there are pictures that I never posted. Mostly just our Football pictures...

We went to the Vikings game on the 30th. Vikings vs. Cowboys, pre-season. It was alot of fun. Maddox had alot of fun. The Vikings won! Every Minnesota sports game we've been to this year (3 Twins, 1 Vikings), Minnesota's won!

First Touchdown of the game.

We have a Dinosaur friend

and last Thursday he was chasing Maddox. Maddox said he was blue, he was little and he was smaller than Maddox.

He was running and hiding from the Dinosaur. Then when I went potty,his shut the bathroom door so the Dinosaur couldn't come in.

BUT when we left (to go to caribou to get coffee, to get rid of myheadache), the dinosaur had to come with. We could not leave him home.

So we had to sit on the stairs and wait for him. Then we had tohold the door open to wait for him. Then we had to keep the garage dooropen to wait for him. Then, every 10 steps (we walked), we had to sitdown on the curb and wait for him.

We got to caribou and waited for him there. Maddox forgot about himand then later remembered. But by that time, the dinosaur had made itto Caribou.

Then we had to bring the Dinosaur home.

On Friday Morning a motorcycle drove by outside while we were in the kitchen. Maddox started to cry and said "the dinosaurs are leaving me!" I told him "That's just a motorcycle, Maddox", he said "OK!" and then he was fine!

The day before the Dinosaur came to Caribou with us (Wed), Maddox came running into the upstairs bathroom with me saying "The Tiger is getting me!" and slammed the door shut!

His imagination is definitely developing :) I always hoped Maddox would have an imaginary friend, I never thought it would be a dinosaur though!

Yesterday, we went over to my mother's house. She had bought me a pair of Jean's at Old Navy and I wanted to exchange them for another pair, but I couldn't find any that I liked so we bought Maddox a Dragon costume instead. He was tired and crabby and we had to force the costume on him. He wanted to look in the mirror and kept peeking, but he's too stubborn. When we got home he still wouldn't try it on, but right as Grandma Diane and Bepaw were pulling into the garage, I talked him into putting it on to scare them. It was the cutest thing ever. He went outside and scared two people that were on their evening walk. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he put his hands up to his face and let out the cutest giggle. He thought it was really silly! My mom also has a Lion coming in the mail for Maddox. We had a little over $8 left on the gift card and put that towards it. They're $22.50, but because of the Baby Sale that is going on, they're 25% off! I just wish they had a puppy. Maddox LOVES to pretend how to be a puppy. We were going to get him the costume pictured below, but probably not anymore. I'm a little sad about it, but the thing IS $44. I just wish they made a puppy that cute for cheaper.



This is the Dinosaur costume we wanted, but maddox wanted to be a Puppy!



Besides the fact that the Dragon from Old Navy is far cheaper than this Dinosaur, I think it's much more practical as well. The hands just have little elastic bands that you slip your fingers through. This dinosaur Costume looks like it's a mitten type hand. He wouldn't be able to hold anything.

Today we went to the park. We have been there a couple other times this summer and Grandma Diane and Bepaw have brought him a couple times on their evening walk. There were way too many bee's during the day, but today was nice and cool, so no bee's! He walked about half way there and half way back. He always wants me to carry him, so I had to talk him into walking so far and then tell him I'd carry him so far before he had to walk "so far" again. He doesn't get tired, I think he doesn't like to walk. He can run and run and run forever when he's playing, but when it comes to walking somewhere, he wants up. So I think he's just bored.

We had alot of fun though. There was another little boy that came. He was only there for a short period of time though, because he borrowed one of Maddox's car (one of our favorite race cars that we smuggled out of Auntie Amy's house), barried in the sand and then couldn't find it. He went to his mom and said "Where is the car?" His mom told him it was our car and he explained that He was playing with it and barried it. He said "Didn't you see where I barried it?" His mom spent awhile looking for it and the little boy (about 3-4yr) sat on the bench. I told her it wasn't a big deal, but I think she was pretty upset with him for being so careless with somebody else's property. They left and came back with a handful of Money. I thought the little boy just gave Maddox 4 Quarters, but it turns out it was 5 silver dollars.

Around 1:14, I set my phone for 10 minutes, told Maddox we had 10 minutes to play and when my phone rang it was time to go home. When my phone rang, he was completely willing to leave. He did whine almost the entire way home though! He didn't put up a fight or anything, he just slouched as he walked and did a "uh huh uh huh ha" all the way! I said "Maddox, what is the matter?" and he whines "I stay at park." Goofball lol

Here are our pictures from today.
