Breckin David Smith Has Arrived!

We are proud to announce the arrival of our 2nd son, Breckin David Smith. He was born at 5:41am on Sunday, August 8th, 2010. He weighed 8 lbs 13 oz (and was 6 days early!) and was 21 inches long. We are so happy about this wonderful addition to our family. Tanner is so excited to be a big brother!

39 Weeks Today...party time?

I am 39 weeks pregnant today...and hubby wants me to go to a birthday party at a friends' house. It's not that I don't WANT to go, it's just that I don't want to go. If you think about it, it makes sense.

I feel like how a mother dog feels when she's about to give birth...she goes and finds a hiding spot to have privacy and doesn't want to be seen until afterward. I totally hibernated in my house today...I mean, I cleaned (nested) and all, but seriously, I spent the whole day in yoga pants and a tank top and NO MAKEUP. It was liberating. I want to spend every day like this until Breckin is here!

So I just got off the phone with Jake and he has already made the babysitter (in-laws) arrangements for Tanner for a little while tonight...so now it's like I HAVE to go...I guess it's just for a couple hours, but now I have to get dressed (in yucky maternity clothes), put makeup on and then go to a party where everyone is drinking, having a good time and looking great while I'll probably be sitting on the couch looking like a fat cow sipping on my water. Woop woop.

Wow, when did I become such a party-pooper? What a 360 from just a year ago. Hopefully I'll be feeling back to my old self soon.

So I guess for tonight, I'll suck it up...but believe me, tomorrow it's yoga pants and no makeup!

JB & Kari - I apologize greatly in advance if my water breaks at your house!

*Update - I did go into labor tonight, thankfully AFTER we got home from the party!

August - You're Finally Here!

I liked this image because it has MY birthday circled...LOL.

Finally - the month that seemed like it would never get here! August - my due date month! I have 13 days to go until my official due date...and boy am I more ready than ever! Breckin seems to be pretty comfortable in there, so I'm not trying to get my hopes up that he will come very early - though everyone around me seems to think he will. Can't let that get in my head or it will just make the anticipation worse!

Jake, Tanner and I are so ready to welcome this new little one into our home...the nursery has been ready for months, all the gadgets and gear bought, clothes washed and even the baseboards are finally clean! (Had Jake tackle that one yesterday - bending and crouching are not so much my thing right now!) I've been spending the greater part of my evenings after work nesting...just can't seem to stop cleaning and organizing, but it will definitely make it easier in those first few weeks after he arrives when I will be too exhausted to do those things.

I've got one last week of work (unless Breckin has other plans)...and I'm so glad...the past few months sitting at a computer desk all day have killed my back and definitely have not made this pregnancy seemingly fly by faster.

Anyway - just so excited that August is finally here - it truly feels like it could be any day now!
