Worth The Wait!

After 41 weeks, we are proud to announce.....

IT'S A BOY!!!!

Trent James Smiley came into this world at 7:25 pm. Weighing in at 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. I went to my appointment today at 2:40 and was dilated to a 7. My doctor said she was not comfortable sending me home, so I walked right over to labor and delivery. She broke my water at 5:30, and well, the rest is history! The delivery went really well. I only had to push for about 10 minutes. The best part of all is that he is healthy! Pictures will come tomorrow.

Congratulations on your new little man! Boys are lots of fun. One word of advice, make sure you have an extra diaper or cloth handy when chaning...they like to squirt when cold air hits them.
We are so happy for you.
