Utah State Fair 09






So before all this baby stuff happened we went to the state fair. It was a lot of fun! We got some pulled pork stuff for dinner (wasn't that great..) and Oakley got a HUGE $6 corn dog! Then we headed over to the animals and Oakley rode on a pony, which she didn't want to get off of. We walked around after that then decided to go see if there were any rides that she could go on and she picked out the little train ride. She was so excited and Dylan and I were kind of sad to see her go on it all by herself! She is getting so big! Where has the time gone?! We then went and got corn on the cob and it was soooo good! All in all it was a good day! Can't wait for next year!!

-Kane Timothy Miller-

He's finally here! Kane came on September 19, 2009 at 3:13 am. Here's how things went:

-Early Friday morning I had a doctor appointment and he checked me, said I was a 3, stretched me to a 4 and stripped my membranes. Man that hurt!

-4:30 that afternoon I started having contractions and I was getting way excited but I didn't want to get my hopes up because I've had false labor so many dang times! I waited at my mom's until about 8:30 then decided to go to the hospital because I started bleeding a little bit. (Because of him stripping my membranes) When I got to the hospital they hooked me up to the monitor and checked me and I was at a 4+ then waited an hour and came in and said that today was my lucky day and Dr. Ward was going to break my water! Yippy!

-10:15 pm he came in and broke my water then I waited in my room for a little bit and decided I was bored so I got up and started walking and man oh man that did some work! I couldn't wait any longer and got my epidural. 30 minutes later the nurse checked me and said "Oh ya you're ready!" I thought he was going to fall out of me while I was waiting and the doctor finally walked in. I did a test push and then they got things ready and I pushed 3 times and at 3:13 am Kane was here! He practically slid out! But he weighed 5 lbs. 14 oz. and was 21 inches long. He had no complications for being so early (36 1/2 weeks) and I was able to hold him right after they cleaned him up. He's so tiny and perfect and we are so blessed to have him in our lives now! We love you Kane!
