At 1:23am, Tucker Robert Smith was born. Katie and Tucker are doing great! I'm hanging in there too :) Katie began to feel something around 8:15, just as church was letting out. It is a good thing I had just called in sick about 5 minutes earlier...I guess thats what I get.
We are now starting what is sure to be a long night but I can't think of a better reason to loose sleep. Tucker is finishing up his first bath and is just loving it as you can imagine. I'm sure Katie will write much more in the next day or so...my job was just to get the word out. I do want to leave you with a few laughs that we had right before we set out for the hospital.
Just before we set out to take Griffin to the Walkers (thanks Tasha and Joseph), griffin noticed that mommy wasn't feeling very well...He is very observant like that. A couple times, as katie was leaning forward and gripping our footboard, grimacing in pain, Griffin crawled up underneith her and asked, "mommy, what are you doing with your eyes." Then, I was sharing some chocolate covered sunflower seeds with him to distract him and our sweet boy went up to his mommy with a handful and said, "here mommy, this will make your tummy feel better." We couldn't help but laugh.
What a great kid! We are so blessed to add another one to our home. We can't wait for you to meet him! We will see you all soon.
Love,
Nathan, Katie, Griffin and Tucker

Congrats! We can't wait to meet him! If you need anything, let me know. John Paul would love a playing buddy after school today if Griffin wants to play!
what WHat WHAT!!! I miss one Wednesday night service and you go into labor. :)
I am so happy for all of you. It sounds like Tucker got here in a hurry. Good thing we weren't all the way out in Burnet or we might just have had a code stork. :) We can't wait to meet and love him!

Sweet Griffin looking out for his mommy :) It was so good to see you guys this morning and see that Tucker was a healthy and happy baby. Also great that you had a short labor :)
Congrats! Sweet Griffin - those are the moments you can look BACK on and truly appreciate the innocence of children. Too sweet. Tucker is precious - LOVE the name!
I love the name too!!! What a punctual little boy! Glad you are all doing well!
Congratulations! Welcome to the Smith family, baby Tucker! I'd sure love to meet you. Maybe someday we'll finally meet up in Searcy, because I still need to meet Griffin! But I still love them, even if I haven't met them.
Nathan- that Brad Paisley song brought tears to my eyes. I'm not really up on current music, so I've never heard it before. But I did hear the verse about walking with your Granddaddy. (Even as I write this I have tears!) Anyway, I know what that means to you. Can you believe its been 15 years?
Now we're anxiously awaiting the news of your nephew. Many prayers for all of your branch of the Smiths!
What a nice Christmas blessing! I'm glad everything went well - he is so precious!
Yeah! Can't wait to see more pictures-Love the name!
Congratulations you three! I hope to meet Tucker one day soon. What a sweet little boy you already have in Griffin.
Love,
Christiana
