Update on mom and Zoe

Things are getting better in the Smith household. Zoe is eating much better. She is still sleeping a bunch and we are trying to keep her up during the day so that she will sleep better at night. She seems to want to play and get up after eating in the middle of the night.

I am doing better now. After getting over the uterine infection, I was overcome with a bowel obstruction. I finally starting to feel normal again that past few days. I now have a lump in my scar that I am getting checked out tomorrow at the doctor's office. We hope it is nothing, but have no idea what it could be. So, we will keep you posted.

Matt is back to work and we are trying to get a routine. Thank goodness my mom is here to help us!

Brush our hair

Zoe loves to get her hair brushed. She is already a diva. Look how alert she is. We only get to see those beautiful eyes a few hours a day. She sleeps a lot.

New Pics of Zoe!

Zoe is sack out after eating!

Zoe's first bath at home given by daddy! Look at all that hair! We actually got to wash it. Ignore the dishes in the sink. She was in her baby tub, you just can't see it. =)

Daddy feeding baby Zoe

This is a picture of dad feeding baby Zoe in the special care nursery. The nurses fell in love with Matt as most people do. We was so good with her and still is while I am recovering. Look at all that hair!

Baby Smith is born!

Zoe Belle Smith

Born February 18, 2006

at 3:24pm

Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio

Weight: 6 lbs. 10 oz.

Length 19 1/4 inches

She was almost 4 weeks early, but doing great. She was not keeping food down for the first few days, but now wants to eat all the time. She is a little Jaundice so we have her on a billi blankey which makes her our little glow worm. Because of the Jaundice she has been really sleepy, but is starting to be more active now.

I am doing a little better. My cesarean was a little rough. I threw up a couple times after surgery and got an infection in my uterus. We were both finally released and sent home today, but it was a rough go of things so far.

Sierra and her puppy

This is my friends Tony and Stephanie's daughter Sierra and her new puppy. Isn't she adorable. She looks more and more like Stephanie every day. =)

Baby Showers

The weekend of baby showers is over. I had one shower on Friday with work, one on Saturday with family and friends on Saturday and one on Sunday with Matt's co-workers that was more a Superbowl party, but was still a lot of fun.

We got a ton of really good stuff we needed. Matt and I are headed to Babies R Us this weekend to buy the remaining the remaining things we still need. It is getting closer! Just 4 weeks and 4 days.

Cesarean Birth Class

Well, it is official. My Cesarean is scheduled for March 13. Matt decided somewhere along the way that he was going to watch. BUT after he almost passed out in class watching the video....he is not going to watch. He had decided that he may even need to leave the room at some point. So, I am glad that we went to the class and he now knows his limits!

Baby Smith Update

Baby Smith is doing great. We had an ultrasound last week. The baby is 3 lbs. and 44 percentile. Sweet Pea looked right at us during the ultrasound. Lots of movement and kicking these days. We have a soccer player or a boxer on our hands! It is so hard to believe I only have 8 weeks left.

My baby shower is Feb. 4th in Evansville, which should be fun. I just hope people come because I only have 1 RSVP as of now. We will be sure to post another belly pic soon.
