Nice Weather

So this will probably make you ppl down south mad, but it is 11:30 here on Wednesday and I am sitting in my apartment with our windows open!! It is SO nice and I am totally loving the nothern weather.... well for now!! I will let you know how I feel in oh about 2 or 3 months when it gets COLD and snowy!

Anyway, things are going good. Jason's bosses last day is today, so he will start working by himself tomorrow. He is nervous but yet excited about it too!! Just please keep him in your prayers and mind as school starts soon and he has never done this before really. The superadentant at the school is really nice and has already has he will help were/how he can!

Baby and mom are doing good. He is growing and of course I am getting bigger!!

Well that is about it for now!!

3 AM July 26

Yes I am up at 3:00 in the morning with my doggy next to me sleeping.... my nose is SO congested I cannot breath through it and for those of you who don't know, I am not a mouth breather! I have blown my nose, gotten in a hot shower and now I am just here trying not to keep Jason awake. I know that in a couple of months I will be awake at times like this with my son, but at least there is a good reason with him and not just a stuffy nose!! GRRRRRRR oh well, maybe something will kick in soon and I can sleep a little!

I did go to the OB yesterday and the baby is doing good, heart beat sounds good, which is still the most amazing thing to hear! I feel totally blessed that the Lord would entrust me with His child! I still cannot get over the fact that there is a little one in there!!

A week from Monday I am flying to Montgomery, AL to visit family and friends and to have two baby showers!! I greatly appreciate those people!

Oh yea, I almost forgot, our house in Biloxi is still under contract, please pray that it sells, and Jason and I are going to go ride around and look at different houses (just the outside and the neighborhoods) in hopes that we can find one once I get back from AL.

Well I think that is all for now, hope you have a blessed day!

the Biloxi house

So the house in Biloxi is FINALLY under contract.... To God Be The Glory!! He is awesome and it is being sold when we need it to be. We were hoping and praying to start looking for a house next month when I get back from Montgomery. We praise God for this and we are praying that we find a house here that we can afford and that we like. Please pray for us as we start this adventure. We are praying to be in a house in last September or early October before the baby is born (he is due Oct 25). It will be a lot of work, but with the Lord's help we can do it!!

The baby is doing good so far and so is mommy!! he is moving a lot and is still the most amazing feeling ever!! I have an OB appt this Friday, so we shall see how big he is getting!! Well that's all for now.

Baby Shower #1

So yesterday I had my first baby shower and it was up here in Ohio with the Smith family and it was so much fun! There were about 17 of us there and we got some really nice gifts. Got 4 of our big items, got our jogging stroller (from Aunt Ann, Ryan, and Airah), got our playpen (from Uncle Brian, Aunt Audra, Melissa, Andy, Ally, Christy and Tristan), got our rocker swing (from Peggy and Earl), and our high chair (from Aunt Lou, Cozmo, Callah, and Winston), and we got tons of other gifts (too man to mention). We also played a baby name game that was too funny!! Some of the names my family came up with are a little scary!! Had some great food and some awesome decorations. Kerri, my sister in law, painted a lot of animals and she also make a diaper cake!! She is very talented!! Jenny, my other sister in law, came up with the name game which like I said was fun and one that I had not heard of but gave Jason and me some ideas!! All in all it was a great shower and great time with family! It is nice to be close to this side of my family!! Pictures will be posted on bandjsmith.com

Bored

So my father in law finally got into town... he had a horrible time with Delta and all that fun stuff... it was the last nail in that coffin for Jason to never fly Delta again! LOL Anyway, we finally got in Monday and on Tuesday everybody came over here to hang out, and when Jason got off work and we just hung out. Then on Wednesday Kerri and I hung out at the house until the rest of them got here around lunch. Finally everybody got here and we out to lunch and then to a store downtown called Education Station, which has a lot of school stuff and toys for kids. A place I will probably visit a lot! :-) Then we went to a mansion for William J Orr here in Bellefontaine, it is interesting! Then when Jason got off work we went out to Indian Lake and hung out and cooked out. It was a long few days, and we are not done yet. Tonight we are going to a baseball game with Peggy, Earl, Kerri, Jason and myself. Aaron has band practice and Jenny is in TN to work on a video. Tomorrow we will be going to the lake again but this time we will have a boat that we will hang out on which will be fun!! Saturday we will be going to Dayton, Jenny will be back by then, and then Sunday we will go to Columbus to go to Uncle Brian's (Earl's brother) church and then a baby shower after with the Smith family!! I am SO looking forward to seeing all that family! Last time I saw them was last year at Jason's grandpa's funeral, which is not a good way to see family, so I am happy to see them on a good day!

Oh yea, PLEASE pray for Jason. He is a little bit of stress, he just found out yesterday that his boss, Jay, is leaving. He turned in his two weeks notice and is leaving for another job. We are hoping this means a raise and new title for Jason, but he is nervous due to the fact that he just started this job in May!! So please pray for him.

Well, that is about it for now. Been a busy week!!

Family Time

So tomorrow my brother in law, his wife, my sister in law, my mother in law, and my father in law will be coming to our area to spend time. I am excited that they are all coming to visit!! My father in law has been through a little ordeal since yesterday!! He had a flight out yesterday and had a stop in Atlanta which of course had bad weather so it delayed his flight at first and then it finally got cancelled! He got a flight out of Atlanta to Cincinnati then to Columbus. Well of course his flight to Cincinnati was delayed which was going to make him late for his connecting flight and for a while I thought I was going to have to go get him which would have been over 2 hours away. Well then my brother in law left and was on his way and a few minutes later returned home saying his dad was on a flight to Columbus. The flight he was suppose to connect with was delayed too so he was able to get that flight and he finally made it to his destination. So he is finally here and coming to our place tomorrow!!

Anyway, just glad everybody is here and that we are all getting together!!

Stitches

So I had a doc appt today and I finally got my stitches out!! WOOHOO!! its about time, and now it's time to work on the scars! Rather have the scars to work on then the stitches still! so its all good!! Well, thats all for now!

10 July 2008

Alright so I will finally get my stitches out tomorrow (10 July). I am SO happy that I get them out and that I get to use my thumb like a normal person! WOOHOO!!

Other then that not a whole lot is happening. Aaron and Jenny come home and they take Cali home this coming Saturday!! Then Peg and Earl will come visit us for a night or two and then we are off to Kerri's for a game that night and then camp for the weekend. We will spend Friday and Saturday at camp, and then Sunday we will go to Uncle Brian's church and then the baby shower!! I am looking forward to spending time with family.

And not too much longer I will be in Montgomery for a week to visit family and friends.

4th of July Weekend

So for the 4th we went to a place the Smith/Welch family call camp!! It is a place out in the middle of nowhere really that Peggy's family, my mother in law's family, built and I love it!! It is nice to go there where there is no phone or internet, just nature and woods!! It was nice to be there with Peggy (mother in law), Kerri (sister in law), and Jason. We also took our dog, Precious, and my brother in law's dog, Calli, that was interesting! Calli does not obey and she ran off, and if it were not for Peggy, Calli would be gone! She starting running up the road and Jason nor I were going to run after her! LOL We love the dog but my word... came back when we call you! Anyway, we had fun talking about past trips the Smiths took when the kids were younger, and making new ones!! It was so much fun and I cannot wait to go back in a couple of weeks!!

The thumb is doing better... get the stitches out on Thursday! I wanted to go ahead and take them out but Jason wont let me do it myself!! LOL It is still very sore, but its getting better. I will be happy when the swelling goes down and its back to normal! The knuckles are bruised so that is keeping me from using like normal! Anyway, that is about it for now! Hope you had a great 4th and thanked any troops that you know and prayed for the ones you don't!
