Tanner David Smith HAS ARRIVED!

Tanner David Smith arrived to our family May 9th at 5:54 pm!  He was 7lbs 1 oz. and 20 inches long. We named him Tanner because we loved the name, David is his middle name after my dad and Devin's twin brother David.  If he grows up to be like these 2 great men we will be happy!  His labor was a long 19 hours, but he finally came when he was ready and we are sure glad he did!   He has been such a great baby, we feel blessed to call him ours.  Sadie and Tyler love him and have been pretty good at being soft. :)  He is eating and sleeping good and we are hoping he keeps it up.  He was a little jaundice for the first few days and had to have a light blanket that went up against his skin under his clothes, but he didn't seem to mind at all.  He is doing well now and we are glad his liver has kicked into gear.  We are adjusting to a family of 5 and I have been grateful that Devin took the first week off of work, my mom was here (and spoiled and loved my children!) and now Devin's mom is here for a few days.  Thank you to everyone for your love and support.  Thank you for the calls, texts, gifts, meals, etc.  We truly feel we have a blessed life!  Here are a few pictures from the first few days of Tanner's life!
