Daniel Alan Smetana, Jr.

God graciously gave us our new baby boy last night at 7:53 p.m.! Daniel weighed 7 lbs. 7 oz. He is 20.5 inches long. Both mom and baby are doing very well. Here are some pictures. Hopefully we'll have a video soon.

The Nursery

Here is a picture of the work in progress. A few more things for the walls, a shelf and we are ready to go! It has been so fun to go through this with Rachael!

Just a little cardiologist update

I had a good cardiologist visit today. I have one more with him and one with the pediatric cardiologist, and then the baby should be here. I am so thankful my heart has tolerated the pregnancy well. Now, it is just a matter of what happens at delivery. God has been so good. We can trust Him to accomplish His perfect will.

36 weeks....only 4 to go!

We had a visit with the OB today, and they did an ultrasound. It seems that our little Daniel is coming right along...He weighs in at 6 pounds 13 ounces, so we know he won't be tiny! It is hard to believe we only have 4 weeks to go to term. I hope to post some pictures from our shower soon! It was amazing. People were so generous, we were overwhelmed!
