Changes

Well, for those of you who don't know (which I actually assume isn't very many of you) we are adding to our family- again. We think the due date for the little one is Feb 25-March 2- we should find out more at our ultrasound in October. Yes, we did plan this- around Memorial day we started talking about another baby- I suggested we wait a couple more months, but B said, "Let's just go for it and see what happens." 2 weeks later there was a baby! Mira will be 15 months old when the babe arrives- I know that seems so young, and I never thought my children would be this close! I think it'll be great! I have had just a couple of times where I've felt guilty- I love Mira so much and don't want to lose any time with her, but I know they'll be great friends and always have a playmate. I am hoping for a girl for this reason, but of course, B wants a boy- so whatever God gives us will be perfect for our family. We are excited to find out! We had our appt today with Dr Morris- I got to hear the little bean's heart beat- it was about 169- it should level out to where it is going to be by next time. It's amazing how calming hearing that little beat was. I know he's in there now and safe- I just pray it stays that way! Dr Morris assured me that this delivery will NOT be like the last and that she will take care of me. I think as a woman she understands that looking back on your first born's birth with horror is a terrible thing.

For this reason, the website will be changing...obviously the new baby might feel a little animosity at being just a part of Mira's site! I am hoping to change it to www.smithbabies.bl0gspot.com- it will change around October. Unfortunately I can't reserve the site name, but it's available now. I will email everyone with the new web address. If I don't have your email you can email me to get on the list- hillaryfsmith@gmail.com.

This pregnancy is amazingly better than the last. I am exhausted and hungry, but otherwise feel great! I've been able to walk with mom about 3 times a week- I am feeling good about that. I can't seem to control my eating, so if I can control my exercise maybe I can gain a little less! I am so busy with M that I really don't have a lot of time to obsess over things- this is good. It's going so quick this time!

Here are just some pics of Mira playing the last few days. The first is another babyhawk pic- I LOVE THIS THING! This is currently Mira's toy box....hey grandpa- where's the real one?!In the midst of the army crawl. Mira CAN crawl for real, she CHOOSES not to- she'll do about 6 crawls and then decide it's much too slow for her, get down on her belly and basically slide across the floor like lightning!She loves these door stops- today she thought it might taste good.This is a great shot of all six of her teeth! She has the funniest faces now. Bye bye!
