How you doin'?

Woohoo! SmittyTown done had their doors blown off yo! January was a whirlwind of baby prep and big time fun.

The 'Rents have been diligently preparing for the arrival of the Little Dude. Pops has put together and shown Moms how to work many a baby gadget. Space has been cleared and organized to hold all of L.D's tiny things and while SmittyTown is not fully baby-fied, it is nearly so. In fact, Moms car is officially BabyTownUSA with the car seat properly installed. (Very much to Dexter's dismay we might add. This new "thing" cramps his car riding style yo! The lack of Moms lap space was already bad enough, now this?! Really, how much more can a spoiled little doggie take?) All in all, things are going smoothly and we even had a little test run of some of the set up when R&L let us watch their beautiful daughter for a few hours. (she is the angel in the photo included with this post.)

We are full speed ahead and a okay on Project Baby Incubation. All of the doctor's appointments are going smoothly. We have one more of our bi-weekly appointments on Feb. 8th and then we will be rockin' it hard core at the doc's office every Friday until L.D. decides to join us. The 'Rents kicked it Smitty Style during all of the baby classes and the tour at the hospital. Moms is sportin' some super sweet preggers cankles, however she has somehow managed many a foot and leg massage to wage war on those swollen suckers! Big ups to Pops and H for lending their helping hands (hehe) in said war on the cankles.

We had a super fun fantastic baby shower on the 26th and will post another photo gallery for everyone to check out asap! More about those goings on in our next post.

Much Love,
Momtown

Showered with love!

The founding members of SmittyTownUSA took a vote and decided to try something different with this post. Since we had so many nice photos from our shower on the 6th we decided to put together a little slide show for you on smugmug. We posted one photo here just to wet your whistle. Enjoy!

Little Dude wants to give an extra special shout out to his Auntie D for hosting the event that his parents enjoyed so much! He would also like to thank everyone for coming. He will repay all of you in drool and dirty diapers upon his arrival.

Luv,
Da 'Rents

Ahhh...the holidays!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Team Smitty sure had a fantastic holiday season and we are hoping that you all did as well. Thanks to everyone and their well wishes sent to us. Things went well around FH with all of the events and with getting the toys out to all of the little ones staying here and that made for a very Merry Christmas indeed. We even managed to get a little bit of family time in when we were lucky enough to have a celebratory lunch with our cousins D & J and the whole family. It was great to see all of them and they brought the little dude his first KU text book and his first adorable pair of little booties! And congratulations again on receiving your white coat D!! We here at SmittyTown wish you the best this coming year with all of those hospital rotations. Woohoo!! We can't express how nice it was to have some time with family at the holidays.

The little dude was particularly spoiled as you might have guessed and he is very grateful for everything that he received. We have posted a photo of our little tree with some of his gifts around it. You can see his text book in there, his super sweet wooden dump truck that Santa brought him and his very first Radio Flyer. He is really looking forward to being big enough to scoot around on that and beep the horn at Dexter. It was the first Christmas gift he received this year and it was from the FH Staff and Board. The little dude is lucky that AM has such a keen eye for the awesome and picked that up for him. The 'Rents seem to like it a lot as well because they keep pushing it around, beeping the horn and laughing.

We were lucky enough to be able to make it down to Santa Cruz to spend the NYE weekend with very close friends. (thank you again to M & H for hosting as they so often do. they rock socks and we all know it!) We got to hit the Cake show at the Catalyst so that little dude could rock out to some cowbell and vibraslap. It was pretty cool to get one last concert in utero for him and the adults had a nice chill evening catching up with each other after the show was over. On NYE proper we were able to rock out with the band for several hours and had a fantastic time! It is always such a treat when weekends like this work out and it was made all the more special with the time we got with R & L's sweet little baby girl. 2008 is lookin' mighty fine so far if you ask us!

More to come as soon as we can upload photos from little dude's first baby shower that we attended today thrown by his super sweet Auntie D. In short, we assure you it was awesome!

Peace out peeps!
Momtown

p.s. News flash! Change of plans....looks like the little dude will NOT be sleeping in a cardboard box as first planned:) Thanks to his grandparents, Santa and others Papa Smith is currently putting together his safe and sturdy crib as Mama Smith types this.
