Tonight is the last night I will be the father of just one child.
Sara's c-section is scheduled for 8 a.m. Monday morning. I am terribly excited to see the newest member of our family — and to find out whether my my youngest child is a boy or girl. I've really enjoyed the gender suspense over the last nine months.
I was pretty sentimental tonight as we put Laura to bed. Both sets of grandparents are here, and she knows something is going to happen tomorrow, but she really has no idea how much our lives are about to change.
Tonight was the last time we'll ever put our first-born to bed as a family of three. There was something special — and slightly sad — about that moment. I had a feeling she understood something about that moment, too.
As for Monday's big event, here's your challenge: Guess the baby's gender and weight and post your predictions by 3 p.m. The closest guess will win a special shout-out on this blog. I will post photos and updates starting around 3 p.m.
Oh, I almost forgot. We received an offer on our house today. Wow. It's going to be a busy week.
We appreciate your prayers tomorrow, and we are eternally thankful for God's faithfulness in all situations.

A beautiful baby GIRL, 7 lbs. 11 oz. Is it like the Price is Right, the closest weight with out going over?? We are so excited for ya'll and can't wait to see pictures of the newest arrival!!
Congrats on the house, too!! Blessings all around!
Either gender will be wonderful! But, I'm guessing a boy around 8 lbs even. And, as I told Sara already, our prayers are with you. We love you guys and are excited with you. May God bless each of you today.
Girl, 7lbs. 3oz. It's supposed to have happened by the time I post this so: congratulations, Jim and Sara!
A girl weighing in at 7 lbs 7 oz. Of course, I may be completely wrong. You may have a 10 lb. boy!
Early congrats and I look forward to seeing pics of your new baby!
Awesome news on the house! Isn't God's timing amazing?
I'm with April. Boy. 8 pounds 4 ounces. Monday's child is fair of face.....
Can't wait to see him (or her!)
I'm going with a boy weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces. Can't wait to find out. Congrats!
3pm is a long time for us to wait!
I guess that is really 2pm for me!
I am pulling for a boy, 7 lbs. 9 oz.
I remember the last night we put Hannah to bed before I was induced, I was an emotional mess!
Anxious to hear.
Congratulations are surely in order by now...you are in our prayers! I am guessing the baby could potentially, possibly, maybe, hypothetically, until-most-assuredly, be of the male gender and weigh in at a strapping 8 lbs. 8 oz.
Better stock up in the pantry!
So you won't be outnumbered, I'll hope for a boy. Let's say 8 pounds, 10 ounces.
Congrats in advance!
This is David. I'm guessing a boy weighing in at 7lbs 8 oz and 21 inches long.
How exciting! My guess is BOY weighing 8 lbs. 7 oz. Can't wait to see pictures. :)
A boy..7lb 14 oz.
That is way cool about the offer on your house, too. Send some of your luck to a Realtor in Graham, TX. ha.
Can't wait to hear the news and see the pics of the beautiful Miller addition!
I think GIRL at 7lbs 12oz. I know from Sara's statements this one is bigger than Laura according to the ultrasound.
We are praying for you guys today. Can't wait to see the beautiful baby!
My prediction: boy, Jim Jr., weighing 8 lbs 2oz. Congrats! Praying mom and baby are well.
I'm guessing BOY weighing 8 lbs. 2 oz. Can't wait to see pictures!
Hey! Lots of prayers for you all. I'm going with boy and 7 lbs. 9 oz. Can't wait to see pictures!
I'm going with BOY, 7 lbs., 13 oz. Only 2 minutes til 3:00...will you be on time????
I just made it, under the time limit. I'm guessing, BOY, 7 pounds 10 ounces, 21 inches long. I hope you are all doing well!
I'm going with a boy ... 8 lbs, 8 oz.
