Baby Smith-future niece/nephew of me!

I'm gonna be an aunt! My best friend of 19 years is about 9 and a half weeks pregnant with her first child :) I'm so happy for her and her husband and I know they are thrilled. I also know they are a little nervous but I think most new parents are to some extent. So for the next 7 months (roughly) I'll be doing a "series" on the pregnancy and keeping you all up to date. 

This is Baby Smith (as we will refer to him or her) at 8 weeks. Technically just an embryo but I believe this Friday Baby Smith will be a fetus! I've already started making plans and shopping for my future niece or nephew but I really wish we knew the sex. We won't find out until December (yes I mean we...it's a big deal people) but I feel like every other person in the world doesn't have to wait this long! Maybe it's just because I've never been so closely involved :) I've also made lists of names (boy and girl) for Ashlyn and she actually likes some of them-not that it should be a surprise since I've known her so long. Auntie Paige is going to spoil this baby...oops!
