2 Down, 1 To Go

I'm now offically in the 3rd trimester! Steadily growing bigger every day :)

Here is a pic of me at 24 weeks.

This is how we know she's a girl!

Cute little profile view.

This baby is a wiggle worm :) She moves so much! I've now started my 2 week appointments! That means we're getting close! I'm measuring exactly where I'm supposed to be. And my due date is still May 12th. We'll see if that's when I really go into labor :)

Hope everyone has a FABULOUS Valentine's Day!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Baby Smith is a girl! :) We are both very excited!!! She's an active little thing, and all of the ultrasound pictures came out blurry...I will post them once I have a chance to scan them to the computer. I'm finally starting to look pregnant and not just like I went on a Burger King binge. Although I do get people every single day telling me I don't look pregnant...I'm not really sure what they're looking at? Maybe they just think I look fat ;)

We haven't figured out what her name will be just yet. We know her middle name will definitely be Rose in honor of the favorite flowers of Steve's grandma who recently passed away. We can't pick just one name we like right now, so it's going to be a while. She'll probably be Baby Rose Smith until she is born :)

We went to Pennsylvania to be with Steve's family for Christmas. It was busy and lots of fun! But it's not a trip that we will be making again any time soon. A 9 hour drive didn't work so well with my achy, pregnant body. Two sick dogs didn't help the situation either, haha.

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Baby Smith

Today we find out whether we're having a girl or a boy!!!!!

The baby will look much different than this! Hopefully a little more human and a little less alien. :)

After all of the parents and siblings have been notified, I will post on here for all to see!!!

Girls Weekend 2008

So my 3 best friends from college (Tucky, Cheryl and Rhino) and I get together once a year for a girls weekend. None of us live in the same city, so it's hard to get together on a regular basis. Rhino is in the process of moving from Louisiana back up North, so we met in Danville, IN while she and her family were stopping at her parents house. Good times were had by all! We ate at a pretty little Italian restaurant, went shopping, ate pizza and watched movies in our sweatpants, braved the cold to soak in the hot tub, told secrets, took silly pictures, and laughed until we cried. It was just like we were in college again. I'm so thankful for good friends that are constant even though our lives are ever changing! We'll be having girls weekends until we are old ladies :)

Rhino and I are both pregnant right now. She is only a week ahead of me! She is due on May 6th and I'm due on the 12th. I hope we have our babies on the same day! It's so nice having a friend who is going through the same things I am at the same time. Here are some pictures from the weekend:

The 2 pregos.

Showing off our sexy stomaches.
Flashing our gang signs. Tucky looks like she's I Dream of Jeannie, haha.

Hot tub!

This is our "I'm freezing" face.

Hairspray and Halloween

My good friend, Lisa Vitucci, scored tickets to Hairspray on Broadway and so very kindly took me with her. This was my view of the stage. We were in the 2nd row!!! It was a really good show! (Check out the guy in the background, haha)

We had a costume party at work on Halloween. This is everyone that dressed up. I won the Most Creative Costume prize :)

Thanksgiving is just about a week away, and I'm soooo excited! I love seeing both sides of my family in one day! And then shopping the day after Thanksgiving is always so much fun.

In baby news, I've lost 10 pounds since I found out I'm pregnant, because I've been so sick. Everyone says it gets easier in the 2nd trimester, but I'm in week 15 and the sickness still shows no signs of stopping. Oh well, c'est la vie...

We find out what sex the baby is on December 23rd!!!! As long as the baby is healthy, I don't care what sex it is. I'm dying to find out though!!

Let's Go Phillies!!!

The Phillies are in the World Series which starts tomorrow!!! Steve and I are both rooting for them. To show our support for the team, we even carved our pumpkin in the shape of a Phillies "P." We got 1st place in the pumpkin carving contest we were competing in!

Let The Countdown Begin!

I think all of you know this already, but I wanted to formally announce that I'M PREGNANT! I am currently at 11 weeks, and the baby is due on May 12th. I've had "pregnancy" sickness for about a month now, and I can't wait to get to the 2nd Trimester. I hear I'll feel much better then! I'm not showing at all yet, so if you see me, please don't touch my stomach. There's nothing to feel! :) Here is a picture of the ultrasound I had taken at 8 weeks. You can also track the size of the baby by the tracker on the side of the page.My parents are over-the-moon excited about having a grandchild! I know they are going to make awesome grandparents!! :)
