HE'S HERE!!

Well the newest member of our family is here!!!  Van Austin Smoot!  Born September 12, 2012 @ 8:11 and weighed 7lbs 1 oz.  We are totally in LOVE with him, and can't imagine life without him!


I delivered and Riverton hospital, it was a totally different experience than the last time around!  The hospital was so nice and quiet..there were not a lot of people delivering babies that day.  I go to the hospital at 5:30 am.  They got me all situated, the worst part about the whole delivery was the nurse blew through 4 of my veins for the IV before she finally got it right!  Then they wheeled me back to the OR, i got my spinal and away they went.  I got into the OR at 7:30 and Van was born at 8:11.  He is perfect and we ALL love him so much!

Audy at 5:30 in the morning.. waiting patiently.

IV FINALLY  in now waited to go back to the OR.



Here he is!

I spared you all the gory c-section photos...by I do have play by play of the whole thing.. so if are interested let me know, you can what the inside of me looks like!

He was breach with the cord wrapped around his neck twice!



Me seeing him up close for the first time!  Oh I love him!



So glad to have him here safe and sound!










Daddy giving him his first bath!



All clean!



Snuggling!

Sophie and Finn were so excited to finally meet their little brother!


Our family is complete!

Little man.

Happy Mamma!



Proud big brother!








Getting ready to leave the hospital.




All cozy and ready to venture out into the big new world!

See ya!



This time around my pregnancy was really hard still (throwing up at 28 weeks!) but it was all worth in to get Van here.  The delivery was great, it was amazing having him in my room with me.  And so happy to have him come home with us!  We love him and are so grateful to have him in our little family!
