some women love being pregnant

By
I've decided I will just endure it.

I love feeling . . . uncomfortable, slightly sick, LAZY or just not normal and unsure if it's pregnancy induced or if I would still have said symptoms if I wasn't pregnant. But right now everything is blamed on baby.  Although if I ate salad & a baked sandwich instead of a burrito, I'd probably feel a little better. Sleep would also do wonders. Vacations are never restful if it involves an airport & economy class.  Is anyone else like me and just loves coming home to their own bed & toilet?

But I love my brother and wanted to be there on his wedding day. Rand & Savannah are beautiful.
I left them a card with lots of marriage advice since I'm so expert now - 1.4 years, don't hate.
I just don't know what I would have done if Mr Smith didn't go with me. He saves me every day.

Needless to say, we won't be flying for awhile. In fact, I'd like to just stay put.
(although we both get that year twitch where we want to move apartments)
Don't forget, I'm lazy & baby is on the way. So moving is out of the question.

The family tried the baby name game while we were gone. Nothing is decided.
{Mckensie, Madison, Chelsea, Jacey, Aspen, Avery, Rory, Ariana, Kora, Nora... it goes on and on}
I'm not even sure how my mom came up with some of the ones she said.
Mr Smith & I are always back and forth, mostly disliking each other's likes.

I can't slouch anymore. The top of my stomach where my sternum meets the middle of my rib cage constantly aches. People say I'm small and boy do I not want to know what it feels like to be big. 

And wasn't this just a downer post?

The baby is kicking. I think she's trying to puncture my internal organs.

Is it April yet?

On a happy note, I love my no named baby girl (or boy you never know)
and I will probably go into her bedroom and stare at her things before heading to bed
because that's how it is. I can't wait to stare at her.

    I felt that exact same way with the whole ribs aching and being sore. That was the worst of the physical pain for me (thankfully) but it does hurt to sit and stand. I'm sorry you're sore! I promise that eventually your body will feel normal again. It will take several weeks after the baby is born. I wish I could say it was instant... but it does come back (at least it did for me!) and when you have that moment where you realize you are your old self it feels amazing! I happened to be in a Zumba class when it happened to me :)

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates.  I'm okay with not needing a changing table.  It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too.  Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . .  Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes.  And even a mobile.  Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

By
Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi,  We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We Remember... All the Time We... Spent Together

By
My 1-1 days are shortly coming to an end with my oldest who decided to have more time with me and her youngest sibling this past year & I'll forever be grateful for that. I'm never ready for them to grow up and give most their time & attention to everyone else.  Again, we are excited for another phase & this time she gets to be the big kid coming back with more rest & confidence to wrap up her middle school years going part-time for 8th grade. Will busy work burn out still be a concern? Will "learning" in a noisy & crude environment still be a concern? Will losing more of her childhood still be a concern? Yes, yes and yes. However, she knows how to choose good friends, she knows how to work hard, and she knows she enjoys structure & peer competition coming from outside the home. I don't know if she'll push herself to participate more in sports, or find new opportunities elsewhere, but that's the blessings of this life - there are al...
