25 weeks + 4th of July Fun!

This was Travis & my 9th 4th of July together! Wow! Minus a few years due to work, other things going on, we go to his Nanny & PaPaw's lake house for the 4th of July celebration!

This picture was taken around 4th of July 2005, we had just started dating and his Mom & brother went to Nanny & Paw's for 4th of July but he had to work. We went to POC and watched the fireworks that year :)

In 2006 his Nanny wasn't doing too good, so his parents, brother & his gf, Travis & I went on vacation to San Antonio for a few days, we played putt-putt, go-karts, Schlitterbahn, it was fun!

2007 4th of July fishing on the Lake! My first time up there at his Nanny & Paw's house!

2008, we were engaged the December before this! :)

2009

Wedding Year! 2010! We had fun taking pictures before the "storm" came rolling in!

2011 we didn't go to Nanny & Paw's for 4th of July, we did go up there for Easter a few months prior and for Thanksgiving. So for our 4th of July we went to Canyon, TX and watched the parade, then we grilled out at our apartment.

2012 I didn't take any 4th of July pictures. We were in the midst of packing to move me back to south Texas and Travis off to clinicals and OUT of Amarillo! :D We grilled out, went swimming and watched the fireworks at the park across the street from our apartments!

2013...this year was special, because there are really THREE people in this picture! :D We had a great time celebrating with family & friends, the fireworks and food were amazing as usual.

Now, the baby update!!

Pregnancy Highlights How Far Along: Today I'm actually 24 + 6 days! Size of Baby Smith: Eggplant, 9inches and 1.7lbs!!

Maternity Clothes: All! Minus a few t-shirts I still make work :) Gender: It's a BOY! Names: Corbin Dwayne Getting Ready: Yes! Thanks to my parents (who we live with) for constantly trying to figure out how they can give us more space for baby stuff! I've also been stocking up on diapers this week with some awesome coupons and Target deals! Movement: Very much! He's super active, just love watching my belly dance and feeling him, just not so much when he pushes full force on my bladder, especially when I just emptied it 2 seconds prior! lol! Sleep: Eh, some nights are better than others! What I Miss: Honestly, nothing at this point? lol. I'm enjoying it. Only a few months left until he Is here :) Best Moment of the Week: I had my 25 wk check up yesterday and got to hear his precious heart beat :)

Food Cravings: Nothing really special, which is somewhat disappointing! Especially since I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mexican food, and now it's like, I can NOT eat it. :(

Symptoms: Nothing too bad.

Due Date: 10-24-13

Next Dr. Appointment: Next month!

Daddy: Still prepping for state boards, which he takes soon! He's getting excited and will talk to you some nights :)

Other than all that, not much else going on. We're kind of at a stand still with our land, no need in mowing it because we want to get it disked up and leveled out, and we'll be meeting with the bank in the next few weeks to see about our construction loan! :) I hope we can start building this year, but with baby coming and working, it's like time is flying by and no time for anything! It'll only get "worse" when baby is here, but that'll be okay! :)

Anyways, hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We're going to make a little 'mini vacay' out of his state boards, got a hotel in Houston for the night before and since he doesn't have to work the day after his test we're going to go to the dog races and see what kind of trouble we can get into at the outlet mall in Texas City :) OHHHH and my baby shower is coming up in August! I'm super excited! :)
