Welcome to the World Truman!

Babe #4 has arrived. And we sure love him.
Truman Gerald Smith
was delivered via c-section on
Monday, October 12, 2009
at 7:51 a.m.
weighing in at 6 lb 15 oz (by far our smallest baby)
and 20 inches long (they reported 18, but we remeasured)
Truman is a healthy lil' baby who loves to eat and sleep (sounds like a normal baby - eh?!). His bilirubin level has been a little high so they have been monitoring that, but otherwise things are looking good.

We stayed in the hospital until Thursday and were glad when we got to come home! We're not sure who Truman looks like. He seems like a good Smith/Price mix.

I am recuperating pretty well from my surgery. It definitely wasn't pleasant (most dreadful actually), but the result was well worth it.

We sure love this sweet little baby.

Congrats Heather! I hope you recover well from your surgery. I have never had a C-section so I can't relate...but rest up! (if there is such a thing after a baby). He is beautiful!
