Spring on Winter Street

Most of you know that April 6th is Chip & I's 5 Year Wedding Anniversary! Since my husband bought me my beautiful ring I wanted to return the favor with something I knew he would love equally as much :) He's been dying for an art piece....so, we woke up and headed down to Winter Street downtown in the old rice warehouse district to find some great art and we did! There were tons of great paintings, pictures - anything you could want but this is the one that stole his heart! Happy Anniversary Baby!

Almost Famous....

We all want our 15 min. of fame right!?! Our little one is already on the way! These are our very first pics of the baby! You can't tell, but it's waving to the camera! Just kidding! Sort of looks like a bean - I've been assured it will be much cuter in the weeks to come :) As of now, the baby is 8 1/2 weeks and should be due October 31st....I know, EEEEK!!! but we might just hang on ONE more day :) We won't be able to tell the sex of the baby until 5 months so we have a wee bit more cooking to do before we can let that out. As of now, everything looks great and all is going as planned! Now, be nice and wave hi back!

St. Patrick's Day

For St. Patty's Day we started the day out with a little shopping then it was over to my parents house for a mini "Smith Side" family reunion. After saying our hellos to everyone we were off to see Kirk, Denise, Corey & Ellie for St. Patty's Day! Chip started the day off with green beer and jello shots :) We went out to this cool little bar off of I-10 & Mason Road then back to Kirk's house where the fun continued :)

University of Texas

Chip and I were out and about this weekend at the mall and saw these adorable little booties we just HAD to pick up! It was Chip's first baby purchase :) So cute! Anyway, Chip has already decided that he/she will be coming home in these from the hospital. It's an awful long way off to already be planning it's outfit home but they are cute so I have no objections! Not to mention, we are promoting college education :) You can never start too early!!! We are still a bit unsure on how we'll be paying for that education but we have 18 years to figure it out!

Pedicures are important!

Sunday morning it was off to the nail salon - I desperately needed them done! Toes are important to maintain when you are sick - it gives you something to look at while over the toilet :) Erinn was nice enough to keep me company and treat me to a pedicure! Everyone's fingers and toes turned out super cute!

What the future holds :)

This is Erinn, showing me what all I have to look forward too in the months to come :) All she had to do was take out the pillows...I think I might have to do a wee bit more!

Where's Jackie???

Ok, disregard the mess in my closet! As I said, I haven't been keeping up with the laundry :) Anyway, Friday morning as I was getting ready for work I couldn't find Jackie anywhere...I called him and looked around the house and still, no where to be found...I finally walked into our closet and found our Jackie "hiding" under our ottoman...it was just too cute to pass up a picture! Shhhhhhhhhh! Don't tell him that we can see him :)

Not much new...

Not much is new...still feeling ill and counting the days till I feel better :) I'm trying to keep up with all my daily activities and still maintain a cheerful attitude - Chip can verify that I'm failing horribly at both :) My first doctor's appt. is at the end of this month and I'm really looking forward to getting that done! I've received several cute baby gifts from my parents and Daniela (a friend from work) gave me this sweet giraffe and a book for me to read! I'm keeping in contact with Courtney (Chip's step-sister) as she's pregnant and several months ahead of me - she's my expert at the moment :) Chip and I aren't doing much these days. Just working and hanging out around the house a lot. I'm looking forward to being in a better mood again and feeling better :) I'm sure Chip can't wait either! If nothing else, If there was a "maybe" that we might do this again, I think I've probably ensured we won't :)

Special Baby - Special Pig :)

Not too long ago we announced that I am pregnant with our first baby. Recently I have discovered that this year is a special year according to the Chinese Zodiac. It’s not only the year of the Pig, it’s the Year of the Golden Pig. According to Chinese Foklore, this is an event that occurs once in every 600 years and will ensure that a baby born on this year will experience a prosperous and wealthy life. The legend is so popular, that Korea is expected to have a 10% increase in birth rate this year! See, our little one is already special! Golden Pig Special!!!

Baby's First Stuff

It didn't take long for us this weekend to realize that our little bundle of joy on the way is going to be SPOILED!!! We received all this great stuff for the baby this weekend - seems my parents just couldn't hold out any longer! They aren't excited or anything!! We got blankets, clothes, diapers, teddy bears...all the stuff to ensure our little one has plenty of soft things to hold on too and is perfectly dressed!

Bye Body!!!

Well after 1.5 years to get this size, I'm getting ready to see it all go away :) It's ok - it's for a good cause. So, bye body!!! This is me at a whopping 4 weeks :)
