Introducing Eve

Our little baby girl, Eve Rachelle Smith, was born on Wednesday, December 8th at 10:20 am after treating me to 16 1/2 hours of labor. Following in my footsteps, she was very prompt and came on her due date! She’s a healthy little girl and came home from the hospital on Friday. The doctors were worried about her bilirubin levels, so she had to repeatedly have her little heal pricked so they could test her blood, but by Monday her scores were trending down, so no time under the lights for our trooper!

Eve weighed 7 lbs 2 ounces at birth and was 20 inches long. She lost about 9 ounces in the hospital, but is now busy packing on the pounds with a healthy appetite.

Now we’re just adjusting to having another member of our family (and not getting as much sleep as we’d like). Here are some pictures of our little Eve:

Our little family!

Not the best picture of me, but I have very few with the two of us, so not many to choose from!

A proud papa!

My mom was able to come spend a week and a half with us and Eve loved having her grandma hold her! She would sleep for hours in her arms....here's a picture with Grandma....

Since my grandma lives in the area, we had the chance to take a four generation picture. I'm not very dressed up (I wasn't expecting to take this picture), but still, fun to have all four generations together.

And we'll end on the best note possible - our Christmas baby!

We're so blessed to have this little girl in our family!
