I feel incredibly blessed today to have such an amazing little family! It took me a while to really grow into the role of "mommy," but now that I've been doing it for a few years, I can't imagine not doing it. It has been wonderful to watch my little Mila grow into this sweet girl who loves bubbles, caterpillars, flowers, and dancing, but doesn't love anything as much as mommy, despite all my faults and the times I'm impatient with her. How humbling it is to have an innocent little person love you so completely! Some nights I go to bed feeling like such a failure as a mom, but when I see her in the morning, she still smiles and is so happy to be with me! She is quite strong-willed, which can be tough sometimes, but I guess she's just a girl who knows what she wants!
I'm so excited to have our little boy join our family soon! I am so curious to see what his personality is like and to learn more about who he is. I already feel really close to him, and I never get sick of feeling him kick and move around, except when I'm trying to fall asleep at night!
Lastly, but most importantly, I am such a lucky girl to have such an amazing husband. I would not be able to keep my sanity without him! Sam is always so patient with me, and has put up with a lot as we've both been trying to finish up school the last few years. He is incredible! I love that he is such a hands-on dad. Mila LOVES to play with him whenever she can. They even have little games they play together that she won't play with me. I'm so glad that I get to spend eternity with him because that still won't be long enough! So, Sweetheart, thanks for picking me! You're my best friend, and I'll love you forever!
Me and our baby boy at 33 1/2 weeks. 6 1/2 more to go! Yes, I'm counting half weeks. I'm getting so anxious to meet the little guy! 
Just a little comparison picture of little Miss Mila on our first Mother's Day together. She wasn't quite 3 months old yet. Sometimes I miss her like this, but then I remember that she now sleeps all the way through the night without me having to get up and feed her multiple times. It's definitely a better arrangement:)
Me and my not-so-little baby anymore. Sometimes it's sad that's she's no longer my tiny baby! She really is so enjoyable as she gets older though. I was trying so hard not to laugh because the only way we could get her to smile was by Sam telling her to show him her teeth.
I've been wanting a sewing machine for a few years now, so I was really excited that Sam got me one! Sam is so funny! He is always too anxious about giving me gifts, so I usually receive them before the actual day. He gave this to me last night. If he had bought it sooner, I would have had it even sooner. My sweet, impatient husband:) My current method of fixing problems with clothes is either to stitch it myself by hand, which is such a pain and doesn't always look so good, or to stockpile them all til I can take them to Ohio to have mom fix them. I'm not guessing that I'll ever be an amazing seamstress, but I would love to at least be able to fix simple things myself. I'm already contemplating what my first project will be...oh the possibilities!
