Compare

Some have mentioned that Neo looks like Tristan did as a baby. Here's Tristan (in the yellow) at about 3 days old and Zoe (wearing white) at two days old for comparison purposes.

4 Days

Neo is 4 days old and there are changes in his face already. Here are a couple of pictures. Neo is a good baby. He's the first baby I've had to wake to feed at 4 hours - although it only happened once.

Pics with Sibs

These pictures of Neo with big Sisters Clara & Zoe and Big Brother Tristan were taken Sunday, November 19 at noon. Neo is 2 days old.

Announcement!

Neo Edward Vincent Smith was born on Friday, November 17, 2006 at 2:55 pm. We are very happy :) You can view his announcement on the hospital website - Meriter.com Go to Baby Mail link and type 3722VE

Non Stress

Here he is. This is a picture of Neo taken today, November 16, 2006. We had the amniotic fluid measured - and it's fine. He also had a Non Stress Test and he checks out fine. Even though there have not been any contractions to mention - 3 or 4 at a time 15 minutes apart at night only - I'm dialated to 4-5CM and ready to go. The Midwife thinks that tonight if I have my contractions again, that will put me "over the edge" and I'll be in labor and delivery tomorrow. If not, we can go in tomorrow, Friday, November 17th for a kick start to the labor. It looks like his birthdate will be November 17th - Fridays Child. The poem says: Fridays child is loving and giving

1 Week

It's official, Neo is just like his older brother and sister - taking an "extra" week. He knows a good thing when he has it and he doesn't wish to change his residence. There have been no signs that he his preparing an exit anytime soon - although the rest of the household is ready and waiting.....and waiting....and waiting....

November 10th

Look at this weather! Isn't this just perfect to have a baby in? We're supposed to get about 2 inches of snow tonight. Plus our phone is dead - so that's surely another sign.

Waiting

Today is November 3, 2006. We are patiently waiting for Neo to decide the date he wishes to be born. Neo's due date is November 7 - just 4 days from now. However his older brother and sister each took an extra week to make their appearances. So we'll see if he follows suit. :)
