This is the big week..and boy am I feeling it!

Chase and I are doing well and we can't wait to finally see his sweet face on Thursday:)

Our sweet boy, it's hard to believe it is time for him to be Chase's big brother!
Making silly faces...does he get any sweeter!

As this last week before Chase's arrival we don't have too much going on. We go to the doctor today to check in and then we are going to spend the week getting ready. Tyler has his Pajama party at school tomorrow for Halloween and he says he will be a fireman on Halloween. We will have to see..last week at the halloween party for our neighborhood, he wanted to be BOB the Builder and of course all I have heard is that he wants to be a fireman, so mommy did not have a BOB costume. We never made it in the fireman outfit, so Halloween is going to be interesting:) I guess he will go out in his clothes and toolbelt if nothing else.

Congrats to our friends Justin & Torry, they just welcomed yesterday morning their second baby girl into the world! We are so excited for you. We look forward to meeting her!

As of right now, we are checking into Northside Hosptial on Thursday, Nov. 1st at 11am.

The c-section is scheduled for 1pm.

It's official...10 more days to go until we meet our baby Chase! I went to the doctor this morning and will go one more time next Monday prior to our scheduled c-section on Thursday, November 1st. Today she checked to see if I was showing any signs of labor and PRAISE GOD I am not (Eric is in Portland for the week:)). She also did an ultrasound to measure everything and all looks perfect, he was even practicing his breathing like a full term baby so that is good for when he comes. Our original due date was Nov. 14th but they induce/c-section 2 weeks early so it is good that he is breathing well and she says he is definitely going to be around 8 lbs or so...So all is great and we look forward to our last preparations before he arrives. Tyler seems to understand as much as he can, we know he is going to be a great big brother:) Love to all...Happy Monday! Praise God for Rain:)

We had some friends in town last weekend from SC..the kids all had a ball...
Our neighborhood fall festival...
Eric & Ty and Tommy & Finn...what fun!
Tyler's favorite...a "jumpy place" as he calls it! 2 more weeks until Chase arrives...

It's friday morning and we are off to the Pumpkin Patch with some friends...

Update on Baby Boy Chase....

We are officially set for November 1st as the big day for Chase to arrive. We had our last high risk appointment this past Monday and he said everything looks great and the baby is growing perfectly. He currently weighs about 6 lbs 3 oz. and is quite a busy boy these days. We are staying busy around the Smith house and look forward to the coming weeks when we get to meet our little guy! Thanks for all your love and support!
