A wonderful evening



Nicolas 10/27/10   24 weeks

This evening our family was gifted with experiencing a 3D/4D ultrasound courtesy of Sustaining Grace and Bella Angel Imaging.  I made this appointment on Sunday and told the girls they were getting a surprise on Wednesday evening when they came home.  I also invited Grandma Mary along for the experience.  When we arrived at Bella Angel they were very excited to meet their brother.  Brenda was an exceptional and fun hostess making us feel right at home.  The girls enjoyed sprawling out on the big teddy bears while Grandma and Bryan got comfy on the couch.  Nicolas proved to be quite the active baby again.  He was moving around playing with anything and everything he could get his hands on.  He also provided a lot of entertainment with his antics of nose picking, finger sucking, toe playing, ear tugging and even the one finger salute.  



We spent 45 minutes watching him play.  Everyone had an enjoyable time.  Brenda also was so very gracious to give the girls some gifts including a teddy bear for each of them with Nicolas' heartbeat.  Something they will cherish forever.  Bryan got his first "man purse" aka diaper bag loaded with goodies.  Nicolas is quite the super star now with over 100 images tonight and the 45 minute DVD of the ultrasound.  Grandma Mary also has a picture she can now share of Nicolas.  She is so proud and amazed by the technology we have today.  She kept thinking of her own boys (my dad and his brother John) and how she had always wondered what they were doing inside her belly.  It will be an experience never to be forgotten by all of us.

Nicolas is absolutely beautiful and we can definitely see some Miller characteristics and similarities to the girls when they were babies.  We look forward to showing more pictures of this precious boy at our prayer shower and lunch on November 14th at the church.  Truly amazing

I am so grateful for everyone who has supported us along this journey.  We continue to see how special Nicolas is to not only us, but to other people. In time, I would love to give back to all of these organizations who have helped us along on this journey so that they can continue bringing joy into people's lives with these special babies.
