He's Here!!!

Levi Ashton Smith was born Nov. 5th, 2008! Yay! Although hard, it was a wonderful labor and delivery. The hospital called at 2:30 a.m. and said they had a bed available (I was supposed to be induced on the 4th, but too many mommies were in labor), so we rushed off and they broke my water instead of giving pitocin, which I was glad about. My sister-in-law, Jennifer was my nurse and helped deliver our Levi! It was really fun and a great experience to have her there. Levi was sideways so the doc. had to turn him as he came down (probably why he wouldn't come earlier and why his nose was so flat). Levi was born fairly quickly and we are sooo glad he's finally here!!! Landon LOVES his baby brother and isn't too jealous...yet. He was a big boy at 8 lbs. and 21 inches!!!

My sweet boy; I think it was harder on me than Landon to not be with him 24/7. I missed him so much while I was at the hospital!


He came home on a beautiful fall day!

1 week

Happy Halloween!

This year I was determined to make Landon into a turtle, which is one of his favorite things. I finished the shell and that's about it, but it still worked out and he was a cute turtle. He loved trick-or-treating! He just said "treat" at the door and put his open hand out, and then sometimes waited as if he was supposed to receive something else; It was very cute and entertaining.

I think our second hasn't come yet because he really wanted to go trick-or-treating too!

THE AFTER PARTY!

And then, the lovely sugar highs...
His uncle Johnny's jock-strap... yeah, what a boy

Mommy Log 2: WHEN? WHEN?? When??

I can't belive I'm going to have a November baby. First due date was Oct. 16th, then it changed to the 28th. Now, we're into November and still no show. For about three weeks we've been thinking it was "tonight," then, suddenly it's "tomorrow" and everything has stopped. It's soooo different from Landon, who was a week early. But we are so thankful that it's soon; I might be induced on election day (tuesday), but we're hoping he comes before then. Emotionally draining but we're hanging in there.
