25 Weeks

I can't believe we are already at 25 weeks....it seems like the pregnancy is just flying by. I know this summer is going to go even faster since I will be busy with weddings all summer. Here is our latest belly picture at 25 weeks. I definitely have a "bump" and I must say that I really enjoy being pregnant. So far I have nothing to complain about....I feel great!!

This past weekend Courtney and I had our "first" garage sale....I can't believe how much stuff we had!!! Anyways, we thought it was perfect time to clean out the old stuff and make room for new baby stuff! We have been very blessed with so many gifts already from family and friends...."his" room is already starting to fill up! Of course uncle Curtis had to get him a Hawkeye outfit....we already know he will be a HUGE Hawk fan....is there any other option??? I think NOT!!! :)

As I was cleaning out drawers for the garage sale last week I did come across some pictures that I could not help but laugh at. I found some pictures of Courtney as a little one....he was so DARN CUTE!!! I hope our little man looks just like him....I thought it would be fun to share the pictures. Don't tell Courtney I put them on here!! SSSHHHHH ;)

I think that is about all for now....so until next time

23 Weeks.....IT'S A BOY

Wow.....Courtney and I could not be more excited!!! This past weekend was the big "Reveal Party" where Courtney and I found out we are having a little baby boy! The party was wonderful and we hope everyone enjoyed it! Ok, so to fill everyone else in....my mom hosted a gender revealing party for us and we had a cake made with the inside either pink or blue. So, no one knew what baby Smith was (not even Courtney or I) until the night of the party when we cut into the cake to reveal the sex. We decided to make everyone vote prior to cutting the cake to see what the majority of our family thought. We had 19 people that thought it was a boy and 12 people that thought it was a girl. It was such a great night and we enjoyed celebrating the news with our family. We are so grateful to have such wonderful parents and we know they are going to be wonderful grandparents. I just want to say THANK YOU so much to my mom for putting on the party....she did a wonderful job and we could not of asked for anything more. Here are some pictures from the party....I also included a video of Courtney and I cutting the cake to reveal the big news!

Courtney and I also were able to stop in Des Moines on the way back to Iowa to visit our friends Megan and Scott. They just had their first baby boy last November....so I could not wait to meet and hold Briggs for the first time! Megan he is such a cutie.....I think he is a keeper ;)

Everything else has been going great! I feel great and now I'm super excited to start decorating the nursery! I also have posted another belly pic....it is really starting to grow now. We have our 24 week doctors appointment on Thursday, so I'm anxious to see how much I have gained. I think that is it for now....until next time!
