baby boy smith #2

It's hard to believe that in about 9 weeks I'll become an aunt to a little boy again! I can't wait to see how Colin will be with his little brother.  They are going to be best friends growing up 20 months apart. :) Knowing that I am only 5 weeks behind my sister makes it that much more real for me as well. With all the holiday's coming up, I know the rest of my pregnancy will probably go by so quickly.


We convinced Katie to let us throw her a small shower to celebrate baby boy Smith #2 and we had it this weekend at my parents house. They usually say you gain more weight with each additional baby but I'm pretty sure Katie is smaller than she was with Colin (she would probably disagree though) ;)


I only managed to get a few pictures :(

If you are ever looking for fun cookies for a shower, birthday party, holiday event..ANYTHING, you have to check out this Etsy shop. We have used her since Katie's wedding shower and not only are her cookies pretty but they are delicious!!

wedding bells

This weekend we went Charlotte for Bird & Jen's wedding. Bird is Ryan's best friend from college and was always like an older brother to me. I am so happy he found someone like Jen and can't wait for them to start a family of their own...I think it will be happening sooner than later. :) This was the first wedding I've been to since I've been pregnant and boy is it different being sober at a wedding. We had a great time though and are very jealous that the newlyweds are relaxing in ST. LUCIA right now.

pick your own

This weekend we headed out to Stribling Orchard with the family for some apple picking and a picnic :) I love fall activities and they are only going to get better in the coming years with our little girl.

23 weeks pregnant...and lucky me, according to the doctors I'm measuring OVER 3 weeks ahead. either they have my due date very wrong or we're having a BIG baby. yikes.

apple + open field to run = happy little boy

...and this my friends is HEAVEN. Apple crisp & french vanilla ice cream. Ryan had the idea to add caramel into the apple crisp before baking it and it was soooo good. Still have some apples left so we'll be making another! I don't know why I've been taking pictures of food but just go with it... soon enough it will be picture overload of the baby :)

baby things

Nursery furniture ordered and bedding is on it's way! Everyone has been giving me ideas for the nursery and I know it's going to turn out beautiful. We have decided that the "color scheme" will be light pink, light green & white. Here is just an idea of what we're thinking thanks to my sis. :)

I don't feel like I look huge until I see pictures of myself, which is why I have been slacking on taking weekly pictures. I know I'll want them to look back on though so I'm forcing myself to just take them. Here I am at 20 weeks.....

and 22 weeks this weekend...

MNF

The boys cheering on the Dolphins. Let's see if they can pull of a win like the SKINS did last night. ;)

halfway!

Ribbons & bows, tutus, leggings, painting nails, tea parties and all the other fun things that come with having a little girl are in our near future. We are SO excited. I know Ryan is going to be a great daddy and he already says she's probably going to have him wrapped around her finger. It was hard to get a good picture of her because she was moving around like crazy and every time she showed her face she would put her hand up to block it. I can't believe I am already HALFWAY there!! I was going to post a 20 week bump picture but it's a little scary, so here's a picture of the sweet little girl instead. :)

vineyards & babies

The rain finally stopped and we were able to enjoy the sunny weekend celebrating birthdays & babies. Friday night, Pauline & Josh welcomed their son Liam Cleveland into the world. I am pretty sure I got zero work done all day because I was just waiting to hear of his arrival. The emails going back & forth between my family were crazy, you would have thought it was KT or I going into labor. Pauline IS family to us though, so it's all the same. :) They went home today as a family of 3 and I know they are going to do an amazing job with their PERFECT son. Seriously, his eyes, nose, lips are all perfect. Congrats Pauline & Josh! I am so excited for you guys and can't wait to visit you all SOON!


Less than 24 hours after she gave birth. Pauline - You are gorgeous!

My favorite little toddler celebrating his mom's birthday at Veramar Vineyards!! I can't enjoy the wine but at least the views are amazing! Colin loved his special cupcake from Nana & Grandpa! Couldn't you just eat him up!? Happy 30th KT!! xoxo
