The word is out!

Well, it's official! We wanted to wait until we heard our sweet baby's heartbeat before we announced anything "publically" and WOW was it difficult keeping secret!

Yesterday at 4pm we had the long awaited appointment and I had no idea how exciting it would be! To wait for weeks in prayer and anticipation and then to finally get to hear our baby - this sweet blessing that only God could give!! I couldn't wait to rush home and share the news!

Today, I told my students and they were so excited! "Is it a boy or a girl?" "What are you going to name it?" "You don't look pregnant - where's the baby?" "Will we get to meet him/her?" "Can we come to your baby shower?" "Does it hurt when it kicks you?" "Can I feel your tummy?" Needless to say it was a challenge trying to get them to focus on academics today! After lunch a student said, "Mrs. Miller, I can see your baby - your belly is growing!" I could sense them staring at the mid-region all day hoping to see something amazing. :) One boy even slyly put his hand on my stomach as they were leaving the room for lunch - as he left I overheard him telling the other boys - "that baby is strong - like superman - Mrs. Miller's tummy is so hard!" :P
