Snakes and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails...

That's what little boys are made of. :) We found out last week that we are having a perfect, healthy little boy and we couldn't be happier!! We have spent the last two weekends in awe of all the cute little boy clothes that are out there (and have bought a few too!). Last week I also started feeling our little man kicking. It isn't very consistent yet, but I feel it every day. Usually after I eat (I wonder if he kicks because he gets food or because his space is invaded). Justin hasn't felt it yet. Everytime he tries to feel the kicks, the baby stops kicking!! I told him maybe his touch is calming for the baby so he stops kicking. :) Hopefully in the next couple weeks it will continue to get stronger and Justin will be able to feel it.

We have the nursery put together with what furniture we have so far. We're still missing the changing table, but it looks good so far! It's exciting to see everything coming together. We are half way through the pregnancy now (20 weeks). We saw the doctor yesterday and she said everything is going great. Our next big step will be doing the 3D/4D ultrasound between 26 and 28 weeks. Justin and I get a copy of all the pictures and a video copy so we can share with anyone who is interested afterwards.

Sorry it took so long to write again. I will try to keep updates atleast every other week.

Take care!!
Justin, Amber, & Baby Boy Smith

Justin, Amber, & Nathan,

It was great seeing you this past weekend. It's exciting to see another generation in the works. Thanks for sharing this exciting event in your lives with us and continue to keep us updated. The pictures were great. The one of Nathan sucking his thumb reminded me of my lil' brother Grandpa Kevin.
