Our Sweet Little Everleigh

Everleigh Collins Smith

Born at 5:49am

February 18th, 2010

5lbs 7oz & 19in 

To say that she takes my breath away would be an understatement.

 10 days to go


 T E N   L O N G  D A Y S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a Dr. Appt. on Thursday. I will be 39 weeks exactly. 39 weeks with only 7 to go. SEVEN! While it sounds like such a SHORT amount of time(and it really is) it still feels like a lifetime away. How is that?

38 Weeks

My sweet little Aubrie...... I cannot believe she is 4! She wanted to get her ears pierced for her birthday this year so we decided to let her. I get creeped out when little 4 month old babies have their ears pierced. I just think it's weird..... but that is just ME and I respect anyone who pierces their babies ears. It's def a parent's personal choice and I don't judge anyone I promise. 

We always said we would let Aubrie tell us when she wanted them done.... I didn't think it would be when she was only 4 though. She is just a little lady and growing up way to fast! To celebrate we took her out to ChuckECheese for pizza & games. She was supposed to have a Skating Party on the the 6th of February but due to bad weather we have had to reschedule and it is now this coming Saturday February 13th. She is super excited and so are we! I am hoping for no action this week or weekend.... as I will be 38 weeks pregnant on Thursday.... so I keep saying "just let me make it till Saturday" and then if she wants to come Saturday night or Sunday.... please by all means Miss Kendall.... come into this world... make your grand entrance! 

Anywho, here are some pics from my baby girls 4th birthday!

February 2nd, 2006

♥On this day 4 years ago at exactly 4:27am a beautiful little princess came into this world & changed our lives. Weighing in at 6lbs 2oz & 20 1/2 in long. She is the best thing that has ever happened to us & we are so thankful each and everyday. ♥ ~*~Happy 4th Birthday Princess Aubrie~*~

So with 26 days to go (hopefully more like 23...give or take a few)  I am feeling pretty huge. Although I will say... I can still tie my shoes, paint my toe nails, shave my legs and even run a little bit. Still, i'm tired of wearing the same clothes and sleeping in Kirk's shirts. I'm getting uncomfortable and don't even get me started on how much of a whale I feel like when i'm sleeping and try to switch from my left side to my right! BUT..... I found something to make me feel sooooo much better & to never feel like a whale again.......





are you ready????








AT LEAST I DO NOT HAVE TO ENDURE THIS........

Can you say OUCH!!!!???

Just looking at her makes me HURT!

I will not complain..... ever again!!!!!

Ok I lied, I probably will..... but still I am thankful!

Your Pregnancy: Week 36

With a mere 28 days to go (give or take a few), you're almost at the end—and the beginning of your new life. Finish up your final prep by stocking up on diapers, washing the onesies and making sure the nursery is good to go. Then, even if baby comes early, you're still ready. Of course, every new parent feels wildly unprepared regardless of how operational the nursery is, but at least you won't be diaperless! What You're Thinking:"One hundred bottles of milk on the wall, one hundred bottles of milk. Take one down, pass it around, 99 bottles of milk on the wall ..."

Your Body

• Just when you think you can't possibly stand another day of your baby kicking your lungs and crowding your stomach, your baby will drop it like it's hot. This process, called lightening, will probably make it easier for you to breathe, but with your baby's head resting directly on your bladder, you'll be breathing all the way to the bathroom.
  
• When your baby drops, you can rest assured that your pregnancy journey will be over within the next few weeks. Make sure to know the many signs and symptoms of labor so that you won't be caught with your pants down (both figuratively and literally).

Your Baby

Your baby continues to put on weight at about 1/2 pound each week. This layer of fat will help your baby regulate his body temperature after leaving your climate-controlled womb. In fact, your baby will be 15 percent fat at birth (and you ... well that's another story). Even in the womb, your baby can listen, feel, touch and see. The only thing separating him from living in the outside world is a little thing called the birth canal. Other highlights this week:

• His gums are firm with ridges that look somewhat like teeth, though his actual pearly whites won't start breaking through until he's between three months and a year old.
  
• Your baby has definite patterns of sleep and wakefulness—opening his eyes while awake and closing them while sleeping. Your baby will become alert and turn his head toward light and sound just as a newborn would—except when you put on that Celine Dion CD. Then the baby puts his hands up, turns away and gurgles, "Oh no you didn't!"
  
• Your baby is now around 18 1/2 inches long and nearly 6 pounds—just about as big as a breadbox!

Your Life

• You may feel silly driving around these last couple of weeks with a baby car seat and no baby, but in case she decides to show up early, you'll be glad you have it, since your hospital won't let you leave without one.
  
• Learn about standards for child safety seats and read up on the safety rankings and "ease-of-use ratings" of the model you are interested in.
  
• Most people install their car seats incorrectly, so make an appointment with your local Highway Patrol or child-safety passenger inspection station to check to make sure it's been properly done. And remember, rules and uses of car seats change as your child grows, so this won't be the last car seat you install.
  
• Now that you're seriously down to the wire (and we mean seriously), you're probably in nesting overdrive. Quit scrubbing the bathroom tile with a toothbrush for a minute and take a bath or go for a swim. We realize that getting naked or into a bathing suit is about the least appealing thing you can think of doing, but at this stage you probably don't give a rat's behind what you look like. You'll feel a gazillion pounds lighter in the pool and a nice bath will soothe your sore back, feet, neck, hips ...
