Bryan Wayne Smith

Bryan Wayne Smith joined our family at 9:33 this morning. Mom and baby are both healthy and happy. We went into the hospital at 3am and things went very slow from then until 9am and then VERY fast for the last 30 minutes. The doctor got there just in time to put some gloves on and catch him. One push and he was here. He was 7 lbs. 5 oz. and 19 inches.

I’ll be adding a bunch of photos to the gallery in the coming days, but here’s a few for now, then I’m going to get some sleep.

Due Date

Apr 25, 2007 by Jared Smith

Tomorrow is Mary’s due date. The last nine months have flown by. We’re both a bit nervous to be having a boy, but at this point, we’re very ready for him to come. Keep an eye here in the coming days or (heaven forbid) weeks for baby pictures.

For many months, Abbie has been determined that the baby would be named Bambi. Of course Bambi is a fine name… if you’re a stripper or you are stuffed and hanging on a wall, but due to the fact that we haven’t actually decided on a real name yet, we decided Bambi was a fine in utero name.

Not to add yet another trauma to her life when the baby comes, I decided to have a talk with her about this now. I asked her what she thought of us naming the baby something other than Bambi. She sat quiet a moment, then her eyes slowly filled with tears, and then she ran off into her room slamming the door behind her to have a good cry. When she came out a few minutes later, she gave us permission to name him something else. Whew. Disaster averted. I’m sure this kid, whatever his name ends up being, will be grateful we didn’t let his big sister name him.

Here’s a pic of Abbie and my smokin’ hot wife.

My dad and I had a great time at the NASCAR races this last weekend. There were lots of crashes, some intense racing, and our man Jimmie Johnson won the Cup race. I have a whole photo gallery up at http://smithplanet.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=3093 A few of the photos are below.
