Memorial Weekend

Miller Update: 23 weeks along (due date = September 23rd)

Baby Miller is moving & kicking every day now.  I love feeling those precious baby movements!  

Dr. Tibiletti said our complete sonogram looks great - everything is completely normal so far.  

We'll see him again on June 18th.

We went to Dallas for Memorial weekend to visit with Nana & Pop.  Bryan & his dad enjoyed watching Josh Hamilton hit a game-winning home run in the 13th inning of the Rangers game.

The kids got to play with their splash pad again & had SO much fun!

Collins LOVES to splash in the water!

Casen trying to figure out how to get up the slide all by himself.

Nana took the kids for a wheelbarrow ride in the back yard - they had a blast!

Bryan, his dad, uncle Pat, & cousin Sam played golf on Sunday, then we all met at Sam & Charlotte's house for a late lunch.  The kids had fun playing with their twin cousins, Emma & Ella.  

Watch out, Case!  Here she comes!

Collins & Ella hanging in the highchairs.

Emma & Ella shared their pool with the kids.

Here's Case climbing up the Hippo slide - what a character!!

Having SO much fun!

Collins soaking up some sun :)

Emma looking cute in her pool!

Collins sharing her excitement with brother

Did I mention she loves to splash in the water?!?!

Casen & Emma facing off at the Hippo slide! These are the headstrong twins in our family & fought over toys more than once this weekend.  At one point, Casen even pushed Emma on the ground & decided to take a ride on her back.  Emma did NOT appreciate his idea of fun!  It will be interesting to see how they handle one another as they get older :)

Collins & Emma sharing the slide.

Collins & Emma - "girl talk" at the pool!

Miller - 21 weeks

If you ask Casen where baby Miller is, he'll lift up my shirt to uncover my belly.  He thinks it's so much fun to poke my belly button like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.  I just hope Miller doesn't mind!  Collins laughs when I show her my belly, & sometimes she even blows raspberries on it - silly girl!

We are 21 weeks along with Miller & had our 4D complete sono today. Miller wasn't super cooperative with the photo shoot, but we did get a few cute profile shots.  I see Casen in his/her features & Bryan sees more of Collins... what do you think??? 

You can actually see the sutures (separations between skull bones) on this pic... it's so amazing to think about all of the intricate details that God puts into creating each one of us!

Miller's hand pulled up by his/her face.

Baby foot... I think I count 5 toes :)

Casen & Collins - 16 months

 Mother's Day 2012
What a special day because of my precious babies!! Two years ago, I never would have imagined that I'd be the lucky mom of three this year. God definitely answers prayers - He is SO good!

 We couldn't get Case & Lainey to smile in the same picture, so here's a couple...

 Bryan's parents & grandma came down for Mother's Day weekend.  We had a great time relaxing with them & enjoying the beautiful weather!

 Casen playing with his Nana.

 Sleepy Case waiting at the restaurant with Pop... almost nap time!

 Sorry guys!  It's a little too cool today to play on your splash pad.

 Our little Baylor bear :)

 The kids love going on wagon rides & soaking up some sun.

The Mad Hatter... last week, we came back from a wagon ride & Case became very attached to his hat.  He figured out how to put it on himself, then wore it off & on for 3 days straight. He even took naps with it!  He found Collins' hat & then couldn't decide which one he wanted to wear more.  He is such a character!

 Collins is doing great at walking on her own!  Casen can be a stinker & thinks it's funny to push her down to wrestle.  Sometimes Collins actually laughs with him, but there are definitely moments when she doesn't appreciate his rough-housing! Consequently, she is getting a lot of practice using her stiff-arm "get away from my stuff" move. She's a pretty tough little cookie!

Casen chillin' on his Lightning McQueen racecar :) He is growing SO big!  Casen is such a big boy... he often puts his toys away in the toy box without even being asked.  In case you were wondering, he gets that from his momma :)

19 weeks pregnant

We went to see Dr. Tibiletti last week & he says the baby is active & healthy.  I haven't felt any movement yet, but am anticipating some kicks in the next week or two.  I'm feeling really great and have definitely noticed an increase in energy since getting through the 1st trimester.

18 weeks & the baby's already waving!

Say hello to... Miller!  Bryan & I decided on baby names.  If the baby is a boy, his name will be Miller Jay McCaskill.  Miller is Michelle's maiden name; Jay is her grandpa's name & dad's middle name.  If the baby is a girl, her name will be Miller Vivian McCaskill.  Vivian is Bryan's grandma's name & her nickname will be "Vivi".  We're still planning to keep the sex of the baby a secret (as long as Michelle can avoid seeing anything defining on our sonos!)

 Profile shot... I wonder if Miller will favor Casen or Collins?

The 2D sonogram pictures always look more like skeletons or ghosts than sweet little babies, but this is a little creepy!  You can actually see Miller's eye muscles in this picture!  We are scheduled for a 4D sono in 2 weeks & will hopefully get some more detailed & realistic pics of the baby's facial features.

Casen has become quite the little dare devil lately!  He loves to climb on the furniture & recently figured out how to balance on the arm of the chair.  Luckily, he has pretty good balance - but I still have to keep close tabs on him.  Of course, Collins keeps close tabs on her brother as well & loves to follow his every footstep - hers are just a little less steady! One fall off the couch is enough to make me dread all of our future bumps & bruises.
