Yesterday I went to the Dr. & the baby is growing and has a healthy heartbeat! I hit the 20 pound mark - and I just about died! I mean, I know it is inevitable, but still- when you see your weight just going up, my heart just does little flips like oh my gosh- how long is it going to take to take off this weight! yikes! However, I am getting induced about a week and a half early so that means I only have 6 weeks to go and at about 1/2 a pound a week that only means between 3-5 more pounds to gain! Thank goodness because I feel huge. Seriously, being pregnant for me at least, always makes me feel not cute. Then the other day my brother asks me- so when do you start swelling up? Bryan just looked at him like- um, I have 5 sisters- you just don't ask that! Then, he was like- so what happened to your legs? Yeah, Rick- newsflash- when you are prego- your body has 40 percent more blood- and there is just nowhere else for it to go!- just say I look great for being 5 feet 2 inches tall and carrying probably another 9 pound baby. I guess what i'm getting at is I AM SO EXCITED TO BE HAVING THIS BABY SOON!!! My doctor says I can schedule my induction up to 2 weeks before the due date & so that puts me mid July. I am going to schedule the baby for the last week in July- that will be perfect!
This weekend we are going to paint the nursery & get all the clothes out, wash them, & organize our gear! Pretty exciting!

You look so great! At this point I think I had passed the 30 lb mark.
I think you look adorable prego, MJ! I can't believe you only have 6 weeks left!!! Exciting! I can't wait to see and meet Baby Luke! Love the name btw!! Miss you!
NO fair....I hit the 20 lbs mark at 20 weeks. For some reason, this pregnancy has been the worst yet. I have gained the most wait for far with this one and I have gained as much weight now as I did total with #2. Talk about freaking out!!! But the things we do for kids right!
Yay!!!!! I feel for you! I have already gained like 7 lbs (and I am still in the 1st trimester)....pretty good for throwing up everyday, huh? I am blaming it on all the extra blood that they found (lol). But, we are soooooo excited for you! We just love you guys and miss you guys tons! We look forward to seeing another cute Smith boy :-)
Do you know what you're having? So exciting!! I can't wait to see pics of the little one. I love newborns!!!
XOXO Melanie
really, 20 lbs is great. so exciting.
Woohoo! I can't believe you're almost there. Oh, and Luke? I LOVE it!!!! I'm jealous, maybe if we ever have boys, we'll have to try Luke & Issac and be copy cats. You look so good!!!
