This sweet baby boy, will not be my baby much longer! Late this summer we will be adding another little one to our family. Boy? Girl? Not sure...CRAZY DAZE? Yes, that I am sure of! We are expecting this little one to debut around the middle of August if things go as planned! This will mean that the Miller clan will range in age from Niki (6), Kam (4), Ethan (15 months) and newborn! Wow! I think I can work up a bit of panic just thinking about it! Amidst the swells of panic that occasionally sweep through our minds, we are truly excited! We've had a few uncertain moments where the health of the baby was in question, but at this point things are looking good and we are believing that God is in control and we don not need to worry! (Or atleast that's what were trying to tell ourselves!) The girls are truly excited and can hardly wait! It's amazing how much they comprehend at their age! I know that this may sound a little crazy (after reading the previous paragraph) but in spite of the fact that we are definitely in the midst of raising little ones, and at times overwhelmed, I am still very aware of the fact that time is flying by and our little ones will not be little ones for long! I'm sure that this is due, at least in part, to pregnancy hormones...but still it makes me sad! Here's a shout to Kim Huffman...Brian and I bumped into your parents at breakfast this morning and not only did they offer encouragement on raising four children...but your mom also encouraged me to blog! My excuse lately has been that every free moment i can find is spent napping! Anyway, All of that said, I came home and started reading some blogs! I haven't caught up on anyone's blogs lately, but as i was reading back on Kim's blog, I was so caught up in what she had said about living in the present! I too feel like I'm constantly either looking to what's ahead or saddened over the fact that life is flying by and i get so caught up in those feelings that I miss what's all around me today! As my loving and blunt friend (no names - HA!) told me yesterday...Pull your head out of your *** and enjoy your kids today...who cares if their growing up...it's a stage and that's part of life...NOW ENJOY IT!

Awww, THANKS! That was so sweet of you. I have to say, it's hard to not think about what's next, but now I am at least making a conscious effort. And congrats on your new little one! You will be a busy mama. By that time we will be your neighbors, so you will have to come over and visit (or just get out of the house)! :)
Well well well look who decided to actually blog. Great announcement Brooke....And the new blog header is so cute!!! I was hoping you would leave the same caption you had when you emailed me the ultrasound. Tee hee.
Can't wait to hold your newest member later this summer. I hope your hubby will share.

Hey Brooke! Congratulations on #4! I just found your blog through Heather's. You have a beautiful family.
Brooke, Well my little prego friend. I did as you wished and finally blogged. So get out of bed and do the same. I'm waiting to see what's going on over there at Crazy daze!
