Baby Picture Comparison

I thought it would be cool to check out and see who Chloe looked like more. I found baby pictures of Kristen and I and put them side by side using photoshop. Definitely looks more like Kristen. She has her nose and her eyes. Her mouth, cheeks and fingers too! I think she got my hair though.

What do you think?

Fake Baby / Real Baby

A while back I posted and entry that showed some pictures of the crib and swing. I got told that I shouldn't make it look like we already had our baby! ;) So I wanted to post this picture of the two side by side. Pretty close huh? It is pretty neat to see them so close to each other.

So special!

We are sitting at the hospital now. Kristen's parents and my mom is here with us. We are resting and sitting around. So many tests have been done on the baby today. Our nurse has come in and took her temperature and heartrate a few times. Our pediatrician came in this morning and did a once over. We will go into the office for another visit in a week.

Then the picture lady came and we had Chloe changed into her cute outfit. Then we spent some time taking pictures. You can see them on the hospital website when we get discharged. There are some really cute pictures!

The hearing test lady came in and we had her hearing tested. She passed! One ear took a little longer than the other but the lady said that might just be because there is still fluid in there.

It's amazing how easy it is to get lost staring into her eyes. She is so little and so precious. I will never get tired of looking at her and playing with her fingers and holding her tight.

Enjoy the pictures and we will make sure to get some more pictures posted as we get time.

We will be at the hospital today and tonight and plan on heading home around noon tomorrow. We are open to visitors so come by if you want to see Chloe!

Settling Down

All the guests have left and Kristen is attempting a second feeding. Then I get to change my first diaper. Ever!

I have uploaded pictures to our picasa web album so you call can see them there. I will continue to add more to that album and post a few select pictures here.

First picture!

Just wanted to send a quick first picture of our new baby! Please welcome Chloe Madelyne Smith.

Two thirty

Kristen has slept or almost slept all day. She isn't feeling any pain from the contractions but says she can tell when she is having them.

The baby's heart rate drops during the contractions which is normal I guess. The doctor and nurse have some concern about the irregularity of it though. The doctor has come in a few times and she says we can proceed normally so far.

So much better

Kristen's water broke on its own this morning. The contractions were hurting kristen and they were so often that we had the epidural put in. SO MUCH BETTER! Kristen actually smiled after it was over.

So now things have calmed down. The doctor and nurses have said the baby is being stubborn. They are watching the heartbeat and contractions closely.
