Smith

My friend Laura came over yesterday and took some pictures of Smith. They turned out so good i had to post them! Thank you Laura! You're the best!

Baby Smith

Yeah, We finally picked a name! Smith Roger Broadbent. He was born early Tuesday morning at 5:46. He measured 9 lbs 3 oz. and 20 inches long. If anyone is keeping track those are the exact same measurements as Trey when he was born.

The labor was short only about 4 hours long. So short I almost had to have him with out drugs! AHHH!!! We got to the hospital at 4:30. By the time the anesthesiologist got there he didn't have time to give me an epidural, so I got a spinal tap, and had him about 15 minutes later. It was awful.

I am sure you have seen movies with the mother in labor and she is crying and screaming and such, and it turns out those are pretty accurate. I don't know why anyone would ever choose to do that with out drugs!

Home from the hospital
Brand new

one day old


Proud father and his boys. So far Trey has been really good with him, but we haven't had them together much. Today he is at daycare. We'll see how he does tonight.

Getting Ready

I been going over my checklist of things to do before the baby is born, and I'm nearly ready. Got the car seat, washed the baby clothes, painted the nursery... What's left? Pedicure!


The lady offered to add a little flower on my toenail. At first I thought it was totally cheesy, but it's grown on me. Now I'm ready to have a baby.

Buddies

Green Shake

Lately Nate has been making and drinking a special shake everyday. We call it the “Green Shake”. It is made of carrots, oranges, strawberries, a banana and raw spinach. The first time Trey tried it he gagged and heaved and wiped his tongue with a wet wipe. I don’t think it tastes bad at all, but something about the texture, flavor and color together just don’t sit well with me. Today Trey appears to have finally come around.This prompted Nate to announce “He is my son!”

Sorry about the crappy video, we took this with our cell phone.

Baby Logan

We went up to see Rob, Lisa, and baby Logan on Sunday. Trey was pretty interested in the baby. He was very gentle and soft. He was kind of petting the babies head like he does the neighbors cat. This made me very happy. I’ve been worried about how he will react when I bring a new baby home. Seeing him be so gentle with Logan gave me a lot of comfort and I thought maybe this won’t be as bad as I feared… for about 3 minutes. Then Trey said “Duh” and slapped him on the shoulder.

Good Boy

Last night Trey was up way past his bedtime. So naturally he was very moody this morning. Around 11:30 he was throwing a major fit. Nate took him to his room and left him there to calm down. A few minutes later he got really quiet so Nate went back to check on him. I guess Trey knew he would feel better after a nap. He had climbed INTO his crib and was just waiting for Nate to give him his blanket. All this 2 hours before normal nap time. Good Boy!

The picture above doesn't have anything to do with the nap, I just thought it was cute.
