The Miller's Place

Sorry but I am too beat to write a full write up tonight! 🙂 So you will just have to do with a few decent shots now. Enjoy these because there will be plenty more to come 🙂

Enjoy! Scott

Hospital of University of Pennsylvania

room Silverstein 0809

(215) 614-1688 (supposed to be direct line)

Born 2:27pm May 18, 2008 weighing 5 pounds 14.2 ounces.  The most beautiful baby girl a father could ask for!  Will post again this evening after things relax a bit, but right now it’s feeding time.

Love, the Miller’s!  Scott, Michelle, Matthew, and Morgan! 🙂

Wow, I’ll be honest. I’m a tad bit nervous and that is the understatement of the decade, but don’t tell Michelle that. While Matthew and Morgan could not have been more different, in a few ways they are very similar. Main thing, timing. What I mean by that is both deliveries have crept up. You may not think that with Morgan since she already is at full term but it’s true. With Matthew we went to the hospital and the doc said, well let’s get this baby out. Total surprise, I knew Michelle was having issues but never in my wildest dream 6 weeks earlier would I think the doc would say lets get that baby out of there. Totally blind sided. Well with Morgan, because of the issues with Matthew, Michelle and I went into this waiting for the other shoe to drop in a way. Well funny thing is, it never has dropped. Well the issues were going to be my wake up call, and I never have had that wake up call. There has been not one issue, thank God. So today as we are 18 days away, just a tad over two weeks, did you hear me, two weeks???, as I said am a tad bit nervous.

The big news in this post is late last week Michelle scheduled the induction for Friday May 23rd. So if Morgan doesn’t show up by then she will 🙂 Did I mention that is just over two weeks away. Anyway everyone is doing very well. Michelle is becoming very much immobile. Hurts to do most everything. But all in all, everyone is well.

Last but not least, another thing to make me nervous is that we have scheduled a weekend getaway to visiting my family at the beach this weekend. I have had my worries as it is about 2.5 hours away from the hospital but Michelle wants to go, so Friday we are off to spend some quiet peaceful time at Bethany Beach.

We’ll keep you updated as time ticks on by 🙂

So we had our first real scare today.  Michelle IM’ed me at work that she may need to go to the doctors.  She hadn’t felt Morgan kick most of the day.  The last doctors visit kick count was part of the conversation.  Well she called and they said they wanted to see her so off I ran.  We got to HUP and got in very quickly which I was relieved.  What was odd and disconcerting was that the room we were in was the same room where a doctor told me a little over 4 years ago that I was going to be a dad pretty quickly, 6 weeks early!  All in all everything checked out A OK.  Morgan must just be taking a day off, must be nice 🙂

They had 2 monitors on Michelle listening for kicks and movement and it got pretty loud anytime Morgan moved.  When Matthew and I were allowed in, he was listening and said “Is she talking to me?”.  The longer he listed he started having a conversation with her.  It was the cutest thing.

Well it turned out to be a costly visit, as a studious cop decided to pull us over as we were crossing the state line into Delaware.  No I was not speeding, I saw him twice already and knew he was going to be there, once going to get Michelle and once on the way to the hospital.  So as I passed by he decided to pull behind us, I don’t think he was targeting us but he ended up pulling us over.  Yes I know my tags have been expired for 4 years now, that’s what happens when I move back and forth and back and forth.  Anyway he was nice enough not to tow the car seeing Matthew in the back seat, but he did issue two tickets in excess of 150 bucks.  Yippee..

So all’s well that ends well.  Everyone is doing good.  Time for me to crash as it’s been a long day.  Take care.

No it’s not Rose, although I am watching Titanic right now, but we have decided on a name.  To be honest I think it was decided when Michelle first heard it.  For those that voted on the site, many thanks.  It’s nice to know we are all in agreement 😉  Michelle liked it from the get go, I thought it was good until Jose at work decided to make light a nice little nickname she may be called in the future, and help the soul who does.  I must say I am not thrilled at the fact that it can be used as either male or female but all in all I am pretty happy with it.

With nine weeks to go I present you with the soon to be next Miller…

Morgan Michelle Miller 

So there you have it, enjoy 🙂
