COMPLETED NURSERY

Well after 5 weeks of moving furniture, building toy boxes, hanging chair rail, caulking, painting walls, bringing in a world renowned artist, putting together furniture, building a closet organizer, and rearranging everything 12 times, Grady's room is complete. Morgan still has to add all of her finishing touches, but the major things are done. I have added some pictures so that you can see how the furniture interacts with the wall art. We are still looking for the right rocker to go in the room, so the space between the crib and the closet will eventually have a rocker. Now all we need is a baby. 101 days to go.

GRADY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS

Grady had fun with his first Christmas. He kept his head warm with a little baby cap and the Ralph Lauren shoes that he got from the Pulaskis fit perfectly. He could not quite get his little hands around the teddy bear but he enjoyed snuggling with it. Can't wait until next year when I can enjoy playing with all his toys.

THE NURSEY WALLS

We have added pictures of the nursery art work. I know there are a lot of pictures, but we wanted to show all of the detail. My sister was the artist and she did an amazing job. I am now her agent, so if you want any work done contact me for pricing. We will add some more pictures when we add the furniture and pictures. Have a good Christmas.

FULL BODY SHOT

Here is a full body shot of the Mom-To-Be for those of you that want to see how beautiful Morgan looks with the pregnancy glow. We have also started on Grady's room, so stay tuned and we will post pictures soon.

DADDY'S BELLY PICTURE

In response to Natalie's comment, I thought I would post a picture of Daddy's Belly. No fan mail please.....

22 WEEK BELLY

I think this is going to be a big boy. I was able to zoom out and take a 22 week belly picture. I don't know how much longer she is going to allow me to take these shots, so enjoy them while you can.

Morgan is doing great. She has gained the right amount of weight and she is taking all of the required vitamins. She does have to pee every ten minutes and sometimes she forgets what she is doing in the middle of doing it. I still love her and we are excited to meet Grady. Have a good weekend.....

3 GENERATIONS OF SMITH MEN

Grady is already fitting in well with the last two generations of Smith men.

ANOUTHER PROFILE PICTURE

I just thought this profile was really cool.... It is a picture of the TV that they had in the room for the peanut gallery to view the ultrasound.

CROWDED ULTRASOUND ROOM

We took some pictures at the doctors office of the crowd that joined us for the ultrasound. Look at the permanent smiles on the newest Grandparents. It was fun to share that experience.....

NAME ANNOUNCEMENT

I forgot to add the name we have chosen...

WILLIAM GRADY SMITH

He will go by GRADY.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha Ha Ha.... All of you friends and family that have been giving me hell about having a girl. I have a boy on the way.
Mom and baby are perfectly healthy. All the measurements were perfect and their were no problems with the baby. I have attached the pictures from the ultrasound and I know there are a ton of them. (There is white text on every picture that decribes what the picture is. Keep your eye out for the "Whitehead" toes (most people won't know what this is) and the one picture that says "It's a Boy".

I know the jokes will be starting very soon, but I think the baby was turned the wrong way at the 17 week ultrasound because there was no doubt on this ultrasound that it is a boy. Enjoy the pictures.

GIRL OR BOY

We find out on Wednesday what the future balance of my bank account will be. Right now the voting shows we are having a girl by a narrow margin. PLEASE keep voting.

20 WEEK BELLY PICTURE

I know it has been a long time since we posted. Our camera was stolen and we have been very busy preparing for the Holidays. We just got a new camera, so expect some more posting soon. Here is the latest belly picture for all of those that won't quit asking. Morgan and baby are doing fine and we find out if we have to buy a little football or cheerleading uniform on the 28th of this month. Keep checking back for updates....

A PREVIEW OF 9-MONTH BELLY

Morgan went to a costume party in Maryland last year and dressed up as a pregnant women. The host of the party, Aunt Jen, sent me this picture to show everyone what Morgan's 9-month belly would look like. Enjoy.

17 WEEK CHECKUP

Morgan and I went for our 17 week checkup and the little yellow jacket and mommy are both very healthy. Morgan begged the doctor to do an ultrasound to see if the sex could be determined this early. The doctor resisted because she is not normally the one that does the "sex determination" and told us that if she was wrong she would not come and repaint our nursery. After more begging and a promise to not go start buying clothes, the machine was brought into the room. The pictures are not that great because it took alot of poking a proding to get the baby to spread its legs for a good picture(Daddy trained it well). The doctor finally agreed with the pencil test and Morgan's gut feeling and guessed that it would be a girl. I am in big trouble if the doctor was right. So here are the ultrasounds and you can decide for yourself. Let the voting begin..... We find out for sure in three weeks!!!

17 WEEK BABY BUMP PICTURE

For all of you out there that are begging for a belly picture, here it is. This is the best that I can do. More to come...

MORGAN'S HALLOWEEN COSTUME

Morgan can not decide what to be for Halloween. I have included a few of my suggestions below. Please feel free to weigh in on the situation.

NURSERY FURNITURE

After a long and extensive search, Morgan and I finally found the nursery furniture that we wanted. It is made by Baby's Dream and is the Next Generation line. It will not be delivered until late January. Here are a few pictures... (We did not get the hutch with the dresser)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN - SORRY

I know, I know, I am a slacker. I have heard it from everyone that I am not updating the blog enough. I promise that I will give some updates soon.

NOT AN UPDATE

I know this is not an update on the baby, but I thought it would be cool to share. This is Morgan and Kayce backstage with Sugarland before the concert. Kayce, you rock. Thank you for taking Morgan with you.
