Parker Ellis Schmidt

I know this announcement is a bit late, but he's finally here! Parker was born May 6th at 4:44 p.m. He weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 20 inches long. He is absolutely perfect. He's three weeks old today and is an AMAZING sleeper. Last night he slept for more than 5 hours! He's already getting big, and he gets cuter everyday. Here are lots of pics of the little guy!

I don't know nothin' about birthin' no babies

Imagine me doing this twice...

After two failed inductions we decided to call it quits and wait and see if he'll come on his own. We gave it another go this past Monday, but the same thing happened. I was hooked up to Pitocin all day and never went into labor. Apparently this baby is not ready to be born! The hardest part is that Sam's parents arrived here Monday, my mom was planning on going to New York next Monday, and Sam was supposed to start his new job in California on Tuesday. So planning wise it's been very inconvenient, but he's healthy and I'm healthy, so we're very grateful for that.

We will let you know when this happens for real!
