 HES HERE!
huck fielder smith arrived on thursday, may 18th and we LOVE this little nugget.
craig and i got to the hospital suuuuper early for my scheduled c-section (after you have two c-sections i guess they make you have c-sections from then on). it had been 9 years since my last normal c-section (sully was normal and i was put under for tess) so i was a littttle nervous. but everything went smoothly and about 25 minutes after walking into the OR........
huck was born! i had never done skin to skin with my babies after delivery but ohhhhh man, when they placed this baby on my chest 2 seconds after he was born i was in HEAVEN. i will never forget how wonderful he smelled and his little breathing. i never wanted it to end.
craig is the best husband and dad. i love the quiet, special few days we get to spend together in the hospital with our newest treasures.
THOSE FEET!

my parents with baby huck!

one of my favorite things is seeing my new baby's name in writing for the first time.
 
only to be outdone by my first favorite thing: watching tagg, sully & tess see their new little brother for the first time.  

tess was soooo sweet. she loved huck's nose and hat. "soooooooo tiny!"
sully was beyond proud. i mean look at that face! he really wanted a younger brother. i emailed this picture to sully's teacher so she could show his class. he loved it.
tagg was protective and nervous. i love this picture of my oldest and youngest. time needs to stop!

PARTY OF SIX!
per our tradition, jocelyn drove up to see the new baby only hours after he was born. i love the time we get to spend together and maybe this hospital visit will inspire another smith baby!
tagg, sully, tess, huck. all a few hours after birth. cookie cutters!

 
he was a great eater from the first few minutes of life! clearly he enjoys having something, ANYTHING in his mouth. such a piggy.

proud grandpa and grandma smith.
me and my favorite new baby doll!
ready to take huck home.
first car ride. he looks so little!
my four babies.
tess is loving being an older sister. besides the few times i have caught her poking his eyes or trying to shove the pacifier in a little too hard, she is perfect with him.
dang, i wanna eat him.
sweestest little boy. we love you huck, and are so happy youre here. of course it was you all along! xx
