My Sweet Nana

My Sweet Nana Kay ( my mom's mom) Past away a week ago yesterday. She fell in the middle of the night and broke her hip last Sunday. By Tuesday she was going down hill, and past away the next day. I was able to be with her during her last moments here on earth. I will never forget those sweet moments. My nana loved everyone. She is such a great example ,I love her so much and will miss her. She loved my girls and they love her. I am so grateful to know that I will see her again.

Easter Weekend

Leesie giving Millie a ride in her baby stroller... Millie was nervous! Easter egg hunt at the Banks family party.

The Easter Bunny stopped by our house.... Leesie and Millie got a few gifts and Kyle got a popcorn popper that he has been wanting.

This little girl loves candy!

Saturday before Easter we had our Allen Family Party at Jump street. Then went to a park for the Easter egg hunt and egg toss. We had a blast. This is the girls with their great-grandma. They love her so much.

Little Millie just slept the day away.

My cousins Sarah Hall, Krystal Payne and myself had kids around the same time. Our older girls are only weeks apart then we all had new little girls a few weeks ago. It will be so fun to watch our girls grow up together just like we did.

Millie's Baby Blessing

Millie was blessed today, everything was great. My mom got back from New York the night before and brought home an AMAZING dress for Millie. Millie looked beautiful and Kyle did such a great job. Thanks to all the friends and family that were there, it means a lot to us.

Millie Kay Kokaliares

Our Sweet Millie Kay is here!

We are so excited and happy that our sweet baby is here and healthy.

She was born on Jan. 28, 2010

5lbs 15oz

19 1/3 in. long.

She came 2 1/2 weeks early she is tiny but healthy. On Thursday the 28th at 1:15 am we dropped Leesie off at Kyle's parents house and I went to the hospital after having contractions 5 mins apart for 2 hours when I got to the hospital I was 4cm and thought I was going to be sent home because my contractions were now 6 mins apart, luckily they let me stay. By 2am I was checked in! By 4 am I got my epidural but I was still 4cm and at 7am Dr. Beck broke my water and at 7:45 am I was 7cm. I called my Parents and Kyle's parents to tell them to head to the hospital. By 8am I was 10cm and ready to push I started to cry as soon as they told me it was time. I don't know why... I guess just nervous and I was still wanting to wait until everyone got there. My mom, Scarlett, Haley, Sophie and Kyle were in the room when Millie came after 5mins of pushing. (Kyle's mom was a little sick or she would have been in the room too.) It was such an easy delivery. It could not have gone better. I loved it. Millie is such a great baby, We are so blessed. Last night was our first night home and I was nervous but our sweet baby loves to sleep just like her big sister. We put her to bed at 10pm and had to wake her up at 3am to eat then she slept until 10am. We are so lucky. More pictures to come later.
