Thought this was a cute picture my dad took.

Rained Out

Friday night we thought it would be a great idea to go on a little walk, and decided to take a walk to Blockbuster to get a movie. As we headed out we noticed some dark clouds, but thought we could make it since Blockbuster is only maybe a 10 minute walk away. The wind picked up as we got there, so we hurried and chose a movie and started for home. Big rain drops started to fall right away, so we laughed and picked up the pace a bit. It had been such nice weather all day, and of course we had chosen to go on a walk in the 45 minutes of the day that it was stormy. By the time we were about half way it was really coming down, so we ran into a Walgreens where Zach and I waited while Cal ran home in the rain to get the car and rescue us. We then proceeded to get Zach out of the stroller, strapped into the carseat, got that in the car, folded up the stroller and put that in the car, and then drove the 2 minutes home! Isn't it funny how life changes with a newborn???

One Week

Hard to believe it's actually been one week since Zach was born! He has changed a lot and is already back at his birthweight. Here are a few more pictures.... just because.

Cute Zach

Here is our little cutie! Zach is such a sweet baby (of course we are biased!). He is a great eater and sleeper and not very fussy (so far at least). He has a round face and dark blue eyes that will most likely turn brown... he seems very curious and loves to look around... and a little light brown hair. Everyone is fascinated by his long fingers and toes and big feet. Maybe he will be tall?? He is still tiny (he weighed 6 lbs. yesterday) and all his clothes drown him. He likes to have his hands by his face and is a serious sucker- we have given in to the pacifier (gasp)- and he loves it. Anyways, I just wanted to post a few cute pictures so you can see what he looks like....

Zachary Calvin Smith

Introducing Zachary Calvin Smith born at 3:25 PM Tuesday August 21 2007. He weighed in at 6 pounds and 6 oz and was 19 inches long. Emily was in labor for about 7 hours and pushed for about 30 minutes.

Ready Or Not

I saw my doctor today... and still no real progress... so tomorrow really is the big day. They moved my induction time up to 7:30 tomorrow morning- fine with me! So think easy and fast labor and delivery thoughts for me.... and we will have our new little sweetheart soon!

The "Big Day"

Well, today is our long awaited "due date" and still no baby. We are anxious for this little guy to come out, but he seems to have a plan of his own. This last Tuesday at my weekly visit I was 80% effaced and 1cm (for those who care). I have this totally irrational fear that I will be pregnant forever and just keep getting bigger and bigger. Scary, huh? There is hope, however. My doctor scheduled me to be induced next Tuesday at noon if nothing happens before then. So the end is in site!!! In the meantime, I'll just keep cleaning and walking...
