Here is a little update on the house :) Slowly but surely we are moving
in the right direction. If this doesn't send Gary and I to the looney
bin we will be in good shape. Everything has been demo'd and now they are just working on getting it all put back together. We have run into a few small problems so far. The flooring in the Hallway was uneven so they stripped that down to the bare bones and rebuilt the floor- $. There was paneling in the Living room and Davis's room that was disguised as actual sheet rock. That was taken down and insulation and sheet rock put up-$. Our last little hiccup has come in the form of plumbing issues. Oh joy! The plumbing in the hall bath has to be completely redone and a few things tweaked in the master- $$$ </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are really hoping that is the last of the issues, fingers crossed!!(cross them people!)</div>

Admittedly I am not good at the every week updates...we've got a lot going on right now I'm lucky to keep my head above water most days! ha<br />
<br />
So strange to me I feel like in this picture I don't look as big as I am. I feel huge and am really starting to have some serious back ache and round ligament pain. Both of which are keeping me up most of the night. Add in the remodel of our new house and I am just about at my wits end. You've been warned people...stay out of my way. I'm just so ready to be in our new house and get settled and ready for sweet Walker. I feel like we are running out of time and it is making me a little anxious. We are (fingers crossed) hoping to be in the house in the next few weeks. Cheers to that!<br />

The next day the renovations were set to start...and boy oh boy did they start. WOW is all I have to say. I have never been involved in any kind of renovations or building a home so this is all new territory for me. And I'll be honest while I am so excited about this amazing home that we have been blessed with and the means to basically rip it to shreds and put it back together I am really overwhelmed as is Gary. Again, VERY excited but a little freaked out too! You'll see what I am talking about when you look at this pictures. It is scary to walk into a home that you just bought and see it torn apart. We have a vision of what we want it to look like, just hope we can execute it ( and by "we" I mean our contractor! ha) I simply cannot wait to see it come together, it is so fun to pick everything out and have it just the way you want it. With everything we are doing it is going to basically be a completely new house. What drew us to this house was the square footage, the outside(all brick, swoon.), the pool, the lot. The inside left A LOT to be desired...I'm talking green toilets, barney purple walls, ....you get the idea. It needed help and a lot of it for that matter. We are so incredibly blessed to have this opportunity to make this house our home. My sweet husband has worked so hard to make this a reality for us. <br />
<br />
The following pictures are ones I took today when we went to go check on things. I may have had a small panic attack when I saw all the demolition. I had a "holy crap" moment. ha!<br />

I did not take any pics of the outside or downstairs but I will be doing that in the next few days and will post them on here. As you can see we have a lot of work ahead of us but it is going to be amazing when it is done. Follow me on instagram ash_smith85 to see more day to day pics. I stop by there almost everyday and hope to post a pic or two of the progress along the way as well as doing full blog posts on it. Stay tuned!!!The Smith Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14902657570156600717noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472334250782582397.post-72453722984639313392012-12-11T12:31:00.000-08:002012-12-11T12:31:11.059-08:0023 WeeksOk so I have gotten behind on this whole weekly bump update thing, but I swear I've had kind of a good reason. We have had some crazy stuff happen since my 20 week anatomy scan. Lets just say I left there in tears, by myself bc Gary was out of town and with the words "your body may be trying to miscarry, and there is nothing I can do" ringing in my head. This was a few days before Thanksgiving..and Gary was out of town for 10 days hunting. It was a mess. Without making a long story even longer the doctor saw a shortened cervix and a "developed" lower uterus. Which means that I've been having contractions which has caused my cervix to shorten. I went on bed rest and camped out at my moms until Gary came home. I drank tons of water...like 80+ ounces a day and really tried to not do too much. The plan was to come back in a week and measure it again and see if it had shortened more. When we went back the next week the Doctor took a look and said not only had it not shortened but it had actually increased in length a little and my uterus didn't look near as aggravated. PRAISE HIM!!<br />
Seriously, I don't even want to think about what would have happen had it shown that it shortened. The doctor told us things looked much better and that my regular OB would keep an eye on it from here on out. I left there on cloud 9. You hear so many heart breaking stories about babies that are lost, I felt like for a week I was on the verge of living that nightmare. I kept saying over and over "you cant tell me that this baby that is kicking me, is healthy, has a name, and hopes and dreams being made for him is just not going to make it and there is nothing you can do. I just refuse to believe that." I cried a lot and thank God had a great support system to help me with Davis while Gary was gone. <br />
<br />
So here we are at 23 weeks with a healthy precious growing little baby boy. I still have the contractions but not near as much..I'm telling you, DRINK YOUR WATER. It has helped a ton. I probably have about 4 a day, they last about 30-45 secs and then fade away. As long as they don't get any worse we should be good. I'm still on a modified bed rest of sorts. Meaning I rest as much as I can with an almost 3 year old ;)<br />

I wanted to write this down so I remember it years from now...we have been talking a lot to Davis about baby Walker and when he gets here what it will be like, etc. He ask about 5 times a day to "see" baby Walker. He looks at my belly button and says "Oh! I see him!" then proceeds to take him out of my belly button and put his shoes on? Such a silly boy.<br />
<br />

We are in the process of trying to sell our house and buying and renovating our new one....needless to say we have a lot on our plates. Prayers would be appreciated for a smooth rest of the pregnancy and smooth house selling, buying, renovating.

I'm loving the styles that are in this pregnancy. I find myself in leggings and tunicy shirts with boots almost every day. So comfortable but I also look half way decent. I've had a few people ask so I'm going to start including what and where each item of clothing is. <br />
<br />
Green slouchy cardigan : motherhood. LOVE it. Got it in 3 different colors and will wear these even when not pregggo<br />
White shirt: motherhood<br />
leggings: maternity from target. they are a slick material which I love my tops dont cling to it.<br />
boots: Uggs<br />

Party. We all got a good laugh at watching these little ones "parade"
around the courtyard. I'm not sure how much parading there was but there
was a lot of herding ;) Bless these teachers hearts...there were kids
going in every direction and some crying at the sight of seeing mommies
and daddies. I was proud of D, there were no tears...a little detour to
the grandparents but no tears! We all bundled up and enjoyed the "show"!<br />

A week (or so) ago Davis's class went to the pumpkin patch at their
school. Every year the church that their preschool is at puts on a big
pumpkin patch. It is always so fun and has such nice people at it :) I
grew up enjoying it and it is just so fun now to be there with Davis. I
helped with face painting and then went and sat with his class during
story time. The kids had fun and were all over the place!<br />

<br />
<br />
I figured the boys first day of school deserved it's own post. Just a quick picture to look back on!<br />
<br />
Davis is at Faith again this year with Mrs.Pearson and Mrs. Bass. He absolutely adores both of them and I'm just so happy with our school choice. I love everything about it. It is such a good feeling to know you are where you belong. We struggled with this at the beginning of last year. Davis was at a great preschool but it just wasnt a fit for us. I never felt completely welcomed and I just didnt feel like Davis was getting everything he needed so in January we switched schools. Picking a school for your child is such a tricky thing and can be so hard. I'm just glad we eventually landed where we are supposed to be. Faith is like a second home and I thank God for the wonderful staff everyday.<br />

Hello?..anyone?? haha<br />
I'm not even going to try and back blog..but I'll catch us up to date. Lets see in July we went to Tennessee for our annual mountain lake escape with Nana and Popa. It was wonderful as always :) Sadly...my camera somehow did not make the trip so I do not have any pics besides the ones from my phone. I'll do an instagram dump sometime this week...hopefully! I'm Ash_Smith85 if you want to follow me! We enjoyed the Norris Lake, bounce houses, ice cream, visiting with family, going to the zoo, playing in the parks, swimming, eating and just enjoying being around some of our favorite people. Aunt Lauren was with us for a few days which we loved. Hate that she is so far away..one day I will get her closer! <br />
<br />
We got home and hit the ground running with our usual day to day fun! Davis is at such a fun/challenging age right now. One minute I just want to eat him alive and the next he is going to time out. Oh the joys of a 2 3/4 year old ;) 3 is creeping up on us and I can most certainly tell. I've heard it is worse than two...fun fun! He really is such a sweet little boy and so full of life. He keeps us laughing all day. His favorite things right now are school, dinosaures, tractors, football, baseball, mickey mouse playhouse, Jake and the neverland Pirates, chicken nuggets, singing and playing instruments( Daddy bought him a real drum set for Christmas, seriously?!), playing outside, lollipops, mama, playing with Daddy, and just being a boy!! We accomplished potty training in August and he is doing great :) so glad to have that one under our belts. <br />
<br />
We started back to school in August and Davis still absolutely loves it. We are back with Mrs. Pearson with a new assistant teacher Mrs. Bass. Davis loves them both and is such a big boy when I drop him off. He gives me a "bye Mama, Love you!" and blows me a kiss. Such a sweet boy. I can not speak enough good things about Faith. It is a wonderful blessing for him to go there. <br />
<br />
Now onto the most exciting news....We are expecting! Little Baby Smith is due the very beginning of April. We could not be more excited! It is something we have been praying for for many months. I still cant believe it! It has been ROUGH so far. All day everyday sickness...I've thrown up more times than I can even begin to count. ugh. But as I ease on into the second trimester I can feel it starting to let up just a tad. Thank goodness! I told G this one might wrap me up on the baby front. It has just about killed me. I was pretty sick with Davis but I feel like this time is worse because I cant just lay around and do nothing. Well I guess I could but our house probably wouldn't still be standing ;) I have to give major props to Gary, he has been so understanding when he comes home after working hard all day to piles of laundry, a dirty house, no dinner and me laying on the couch. bless his heart, it ain't been easy! ha!<br />
We find out for sure what the little bean is next week :) We were told a week ago 80% what they thoguht it was but I want to get comfirmation before I announce it on the old Blog. Pink or Blue?? What do you think !?<br />
<br />
Anyone still reading??<br />
<br />
I sat down Friday and made a meal plan for the next week...I've never done this but have alway loved the idea. I'm hoping it will keep me accountable and on top of meals instead of scrambling at 4 o'clock to pull something together. We eat so much healthier when I plan a little. So here we are! the first week :)<br />
<br />
Monday: Smothered Pork chops with green beans and rice<br />
Tuesday: Pot roast in the crockpot<br />
Wednesday: left overs<br />
Thurday: Buffalo Chicken strips over salad<br />
<br />
We are going out of town Friday so I'm off the hook there :)<br />
I plan on just doing M- F right now. Our weekends can be crazy this time of year with hunting so I'm leaving those open. <br />
<br />
Pat yourself on the back if you are still reading. I'll be back with a phone dump soon!!<br />
<br />
Be blessed!<br />

We had never been and didnt really know what to expect but it was free so we headed over to see what it was all about. It was so fun!! And the boys loved it. It is a really cool little place with open aquariums and a whole room full of skeletons of local animals, a few slithering snakes, and this turtle that Davis felt the need to ride. If you are ever in the area I would highly recommend it. It was a great break from the beach</td></tr>

June was such a fun month :) <br />

We usually just go down for a few days out of the week while they are there, this week we got to stay Monday to Friday. It was such a treat and Davis LOVES his Nana and Popa so he was in heaven.We spent our days playing with cousins and staying cool in the pool. We ventured down to the beach once or twice during the day but the surf was so rough that we wouldn't stay long, because all Davis wanted to do was swim by himself but it was too dangerous for that. Every evening after dinner was our beach time :) we had low tides all week and Davis was in heaven! He would run and run and run...chasing seagulls the whole way. Gary was supposed to join us Wednesday but some things with work came up and he wasn't able to get away :( we sure did miss Daddy. Davis woke up Friday morning asking for daddy and saying he wanted to go home...sweet boy missed him. <br />

Well here we are on the last day of preschool for the boy. This year has gone by so fast! We have loved Faith and cannot wait to return in the fall. I love everything about this sweet little school. Everyone is so sweet and friendly, always waving and saying hi to Davis. It amazes me that all the teachers know all of the kids. <br />

Today we had Davis's end of the year program at his preschool. It was
sooo cute watching them all do the hand motions and "sing" ;) bless that
music teachers soul...I'm sure she has earned her keep teaching these
little ones. It was such a cute little performance and they all did so well. No one cried or ran off stage, so I would say it was a success! <br />

We have been so happy with Davis's preschool. I love everything about it and his teachers are some of the sweetest women I know. His last day is next week...I'll be sure to do an end of the year post with comparison pictures :) I'm so looking forward to another year of fun and learning. I know he will miss all of his friends this summer. </div>

I ask him now if he is my baby and he responds with "No! Dayday(what he calls himself, ha!) big boy!" Hurts my heart!<br />
<br />
*he is all about balls and sports right now, he watches baseball, basketball, and football with daddy a lot :)<br />
<br />
*he pronounces things so cute these days. for instance Baseball:Bay ball, basketball:bass-ket ball, football:foooootball<br />
<br />
*for some reason when he is watching baseball he screams no softball! I have no clue where he has gotten this softball obsession from?? it has his daddy a little worried! ha!<br />
<br />
*he is going through quite the defiant stage right now. it has me a little on edge and exhausted by days end. I feel like I spend my days saying no, sending him to his room and unfortunately the spoon makes an appearance quite often. sigh. I've vented to other more experienced mommy friends, my parents and so on and everyone is so sweet and supportive and full of great advice on how to deal with his little outburst. I want nothing more than to have a child that is respectful, polite, and knows right from wrong. easier said than done right?? I feel so much responsibility sometimes with raising a boy. I want him to grow into a strong, faithful, and loving man. I want the world for him and I want to look back in 30 years and know that we did something right. I know that I pushed the line sometimes in my younger years but I always had a healthy fear of my parents, which I think stopped me from doing a lot of stupid things. My dad always told me "remember where you come from and remember you have a last name" I want D to always remember that too. I'm praying that our discipline and love will instil that in him.<br />
<br />
*his is officially obsessed with his first Disney movie, The Lion King! He ask for it all day long. "I wat Lion kenn??" This morning he was watching it and he grabbed his "revolver" and shot the giraffe, ha! he looked at me and said "I shoot it mama!" I laughed so hard. he is definitely all boy and a boy after his daddy's heart. SN: G doesn't shoot giraffes ;)<br />
<br />
* he still sleeps in his crib and will until he ask to have a big boy bed ;) This child did not sleep through the night not one time until he was 13 mths so now that he finally is sleeping I'm not messing with a good thing. <br />
<br />
*He is doing so well at school and is loving his teachers so much. We actually have the option to keep him with the same teachers next year in their older two's class and I think that's what we are going to do. Again why mess with a good thing :)<br />
<br />
* We start swim lesson on the 21st..wish us luck!<br />
<br />
* D is starting to pretend play and it is soooo cute!! I just love it<br />
<br />
* he is very verbal these days and while a lot of it is still broken English its becoming more and more easier to understand him. He is into telling us what we are doing or what the dogs are up to and etc. <br />
<br />
* he can hit the ball across the yard off of his baseball tee. Left handed to boot! when he tries to hit on the right he doesn't do so well but he is right handed for most everything else. It will be interested to see if we have a right handed pitcher that bats left :)<br />
<br />
*He recently went through a faze of hating the bath. Like kicking screaming kind of hate. I would literally peel him off of me, throw him in the tub and bath him while he screamed. So strange. Thank goodness I think we are past that now.<br />
<br />
* he loves the pool, still swimming with the puddle jumper and probably will for this summer. He has no fear of anything and I just don't want to risk it.<br />
<br />
*We are getting so excited about summer, we have some fun trips planned to the beach and then in July we are flying to Tennessee.<br />
<br />
and whats a post with out some pictures of the boy :)<br />

For Easter we headed up to Savannah for our annual trip to visit Didi and Granddaddy. we always have such a great time. Playing, eating, shopping and being spoiled :) Didi came down and got Davis and I on Wednesday morning so we could spend extra time with them. Daddy has been working so hard lately that he wasn't able to join us until Friday. On our way up to savannah we made a stop at the bailey boys outlet on Sea Island. We picked up a few things for the boy and had fun looking at all the girl clothing...its a good thing I have a boy I'll say that. Ha! <br />

On Saturday they had a fun Easter egg hunt and petting zoo at the country club. Davis had such a good time and picked up quite a few eggs. Granddaddy took pictures at this little event so when he sends those I'll post them.<br />
Sunday was Easter so we got the boy dressed up in his Sunday best and headed to Didi and Granddaddies church. After service they had a little Easter egg hunt for the kids...Davis caught on quick!<br />

We had a fun time, unfortunately this was about the time my camera stopped working. We had a wonderful brunch at one of the clubs and then headed back to Tallahassee.<br />

More updates to come...Promise!The Smith Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14902657570156600717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472334250782582397.post-29180215967460068652012-02-27T09:04:00.002-08:002012-02-28T17:28:32.311-08:00What have we been up too??I'm not even going to make excuses for why I haven't blogged other than the fact that life has just been busy. So hold on tight this is about to go bullet style<br />
<br />
Here are some things I want to remember...<br />
<br />
davis now will call the crows when he is outside and hears them. he learned this from grandpaw and thinks its so funny. he looks up at the sky and makes a huh huh noise. ha<br />
<br />
*Davis is talking up a storm and really starting to put sentences together. "Go bye bye mommy's car?" "No go potty" and "down hank" are just a few examples.<br />
<br />
* when we say our prayers at night he finishes it up with a big "Ahhhmeeen!" God love him<br />
<br />
* Davis' favorite things to do is play "ball" he would play outside for hours with all of his balls if you let him. He loves anything to do with sports and will sit and watch it on tv with Gary. He has quite the little arm on him...Daddy is hoping this literally "pays" off later in life ;)<br />
<br />
* Davis has been going potty for about 2 mths now. He goes "poop!" on the potty every time but the "peepee" is a different story...he'll go if you take him but inst that great about telling you he needs to go before he does. He will tell you afterwards but that doesn't help me much ;) I'm not pressing it though I figure he will do it when he is ready. So right now we are about half way potty trained!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
*Davis switched schools and we couldn't be happier :)<br />
<br />
<br />
* we had friends over for dinner...and had a hard time sharing. Is it
bad that we couldn't stop laughing at them??It was so funny. Davis
couldn't understand why this "baby" was taking all his stuff<br />

We have had lots of fun playdates and have kept ourselves busy. Our sweet boy is full of life and energy and there is never a dull moment in the smith household. He has quite the little temper and attitude sometimes but we are getting a handle on it thankfully. I will say one of Davis new sentences is "No spoon mommy, no spoon" while he holds his hands up as in "no i'm good" He seems to be taking after his mommy in his hard headed ways...and the spoon worked for mommy too. Imagine that.<br />
<br />
Until next time... <br />

We celebrated Christmas night at my dads house like we do every year :) We always have a huge crowd and lots of yummy food.<br />
One
of the best parts is that Davis has all of his little cousins there to
play with him. They are all so good with him and love to run around the
yard together. Love the memories that they are making together...<br />

<br />Davis's big gift this year from Pawpaw and Grams was a little table and chairs. They got it from Wood U and it is wonderful! He sits at it daily to eat, color, and play with his puzzles. Grams stained it a navy blue with red chairs. Love the way it turned out! We will get a lot of use out of it for years to come I'm sure.<br />
<br />
I didnt take a lot of pictures because Davis was in a mood and I think just tired from the day. We had a wonderful dinner of prime rib with all the fixins. Yumm Yumm!<br />
<br />
( I feel a huge weight lifted because I finally have christmas done on the blog! whew! Better late than never right??)<br />

Davis got some good loot Christmas morning! He loves his tent and his horse so much, he runs to Neigh each morning to get in a early morning ride ;)
Gary and I got Davis just a stocking this year because we knew he would be getting so much from everyone. His stocking was packed full of arts and craft supplies. Everything he would ever need to make masterpieces and messes!
We had a brunch date at Gary's dads house so off we went!!The Smith Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14902657570156600717noreply@blogger.com1
