Valentine’s Day 2009

This year was Amabella’s Second Valentine’s Day and Adeliza’s first. Their Grammie (Robin) bought them matching onesies and socks to wear. They have a new little friend, Julissa, who was born on Thursday the 12th, so we got the three girls together for Valentine pictures in their festive attire. Later in the evening we had […]

Amabella Loves Her New Little Sister

We have been pleasantly surprised by Amabella’s love for, and interest in her sister. While I was pregnant and would refer to “baby sister” she would pat my tummy. Now, most of the time so points to or pats Adeliza when we say “baby sister.”. She loves to gently pat Adeliza’s head and arms. She […]

Adeliza and Mommy

Here are a few early pictures of me and Adeliza.

Birth Announcement for Adeliza

Here is a picture of the birth announcement we emailed out. If you didn’t get an email & want to be on our email list, let us know.

What’s in a Name?

For those of you in our lives when I was pregnant with Amabella and when she was born, you know that naming a new chid is a responsibility Trevor and I don’t take lightly. (Or at least can’t make a quick decision on.) Amabella was born on a Saturday and named the following Wednesday. Adeliza was born on Thursay and named on Satruday. This was a big improvement. Perhaps baby Smith #3 will leave the hospital with a name, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

The Birth of Adeliza

Wednesday, February 4th, came as expected. Trevor had the day off, which means a day to relax as a family at home. Well, I headed off to bed around 10PM, then Ama woke up at 11:00. I suppose it was around 11:30 that my contractions started. I had quite a few and knew immediately we’d be having a baby some time within the next 24 hours. After a bit I got up and noticed it was only 12:15, and that my contractions must have been pretty close. I spent the next few hours monitoring my contractions and trying to relax at home like Trevor told me to do. However, around 3:30 I was in way too much pain to wait at home. To make a long story a little shorter, I told Trevor that we just needed to go the hospital, I couldn’t wait any longer. We got ready and arrived at Kaiser around 4:30. I was in a lot of pain to say the least. Poor Ama and Trevor had to listen to me through the contractions on the way to the hospital.
