Meet the Smiths

We are so in love!
Aven Caroline Smith made her grand appearance Wed. July 15 at 8:29pm. She weighed 6lbs 5oz and was 20 inches long. We are just now getting released from the hospital due to some temperature issues but she is doing great!

We are having a baby tomorrow!! We go in tonight and I will be induced tomorrow. My amniotic fluid levels were low so they decided they needed to get Aven outta there. Be looking for pictures!! We appreciate prayers also!

I’m on the countdown now.  11 days until my due date.  I. Can’t. Believe. It.  It  has flown by.  I am just now beginning to feel uncomfortable, so I would say that this experience, for me, has been a pretty easy one.  I’m not swollen all of the time (except my fingers – haven’t worn [...]

I give empty promises.  I’m sorry for that.  I don’t even know if anyone read this anyway, but I had some time to kill this morning so I thought I would post a picture or two and update all you non-existent readers on our baby!  
We found out oh so long ago that we are [...]

This is mostly for the 7 Degrees from Louise crew!
We are happy to announce that we will be welcoming our first child in July 2009!!  We are so excited and wanted to make sure everyone that reads this site as well as 7 Degrees knows!  
I am hoping to be better with updates on the [...]

We just got back yesterday from a quick trip to NYC to visit with Brad, Dana, Alex, and Frank.  We had a wonderful time with them and we also enjoyed walking around the city.  I wish I knew how many miles we ended up walking, my feet hated me for it!  However, we had a [...]

I admit it.
I don’t have the gift of blogging.
It overwhelms me to even think about writing a post.  (probably because I write so rarely)
However, I am going to take this time to attempt to tell you all about our summer! (if I can remember what we did)
We have been to Memphis in June, July, AND [...]

Today is our 5 year anniversary.  I am so thankful to be married to someone as wonderful as this man!!  He is so supportive, loving, and caring, and I honestly don’t know what I would do without him!!  
Thank you, Brandon, for being the man you are.  I love you so much!!  ;)

Yes, he’s soooo cute and smart and wonderful, but he’s SOOOOO high maintenance…
We got home last night from the American Idol Finale(yay, David Cook), only to find a huge bump, swelling, what have ya, inside Cooper’s ear!  It freaked us out, even though I was pretty sure I knew what it was.  He shakes his [...]

They were, as expected, NORMAL!  That means, I’m normal???  Nah!  It was not a surprise but a definite relief! 
We are about to head out for a drive around town with a friend of ours, Ryan.  He grew up here, so he is going to take us on a tour of the city – to include [...]
