Christmas

Christmas was great, we spent most of the day hanging out with the Smith's eating Scott's amazing smoked turkey and catching up with Aaron, K.J and the girls. Except for the fact that we were totally exhausted we had a great time! Jake and I were both up all night Christmas Eve while I was in false labor. Needless to say we were both pretty tired Christmas morning, but Jake still had the energy to play with our cute little nieces. I think he's going to be such a great Dad : )

So the baby dropped last night!

Last night the baby dropped! which is great because I can breathe easier, but I feel like I have to pee every 5 minutes so it's good and bad. From what I've read after the baby drops there's only about 4 weeks left!!! So our little girl might decide to show up around Christmas or New Years Eve! The countdown is on! I better start cleaning my house!

Our day after Thanksgiving adventure

So after about 5 or 6 hours of shopping I started having contractions right on top of each other so bad that I couldn't stand up. And in less than an hour I had already had 10! So the doctor had us check into the hospital so that they could monitor my contractions and the baby's heartbeat. It turned out that I had just overdone the shopping and it was nothing to worry about, and after a couple of hours and a little torture they sent me home. I learned my lesson!!! No more 5 or 6 hour shopping trips for me!

So we've finally decided on a name!

We've been thinking about names for a while now, but we always seem to come back to Zoe Jane. So Zoe Jane Smith, just about ten weeks left and we'll get to meet you. We love you already.

Zoe's Shoes

So I was shopping at Gardner Village last weekend and had a weak moment.... : ) I found these adorable shoes that match a little brown sweater my mom bought that has little purple violets on it. Her Great Grandma Watts has already started a shoe collection for her, but I just couldn't resist. So these shoes are Zoe's first present from Mom and Dad. Awww

My Baby Bump at 5 Months

I caught a glimpse of my stomach in the mirror and it blew my mind how big my bump was. this pregnancy is going by so fast!

Our first ultrasound, It's a girl!!!

Yesterday morning we got the news that we're having a healthy baby girl! The doctor told us she was perfect and right where she should be. We were so excited to learn the sex of our baby! She almost wouldn't let us get a peek though, she sat cross legged on my left hip and for a few minutes and all we could see was her cute little foot poking out. Then the ultrasound tech bobbed the wand up and down for a few minutes and she finally moved just enough for us to get a good look, we were thrilled! Time to start buying pink!

We're Pregnant!

On May 17th we found out we were pregnant, We were thrilled! We couldn't believe it, the one month we weren't trying it finally happened! It makes you wonder how much we really have to do with it : ) I kind of think God decides.
