Angelica Wind Smith was born on Friday, December 18th at 6:27am weighing 8lbs, 10oz and 19 inches long. Here are a few of the many pictures we have taken over the past 10 days.
Den and I getting ready to leave for the hospital on Thursday, Dec. 17th. After my doctor's appointment that afternoon, I was directed to get to the hospital that evening!
One last belly shot....I was definitely ready to meet our baby live and in person!
Once we got to the hospital we had an ultrasound and were then admitted into labor and delivery. As they hooked me up to a monitor, I noticed the logo on the hospital sheets. (We had the name Angelica picked out for a long long time before this, but I thought this was funny.)
Ready to go!
We talked with our doctor on Thursday night and she felt we would be safer opting for a c-section (because the baby appeared to be almost 10lbs according to the ultrasound) rather than a regular delivery. We wanted to do whatever was best for the baby, so we agreed to the c-section. It was scheduled to begin at 5:30am on Friday morning. Needless to say, I didn't sleep a wink on Thursday night. I just stared at the clock thinking about how we would be meeting our baby in the morning. Here's a shot of Den before we headed to surgery.
And here she is right after delivery! It was a couple of hours before I was able to see her or hold her, but it was worth the wait. I was a little "out of it" after the surgery, but when Dennis ran into the recovery room to see me he told me how beautiful and incredible she was and he brought me some pictures to look at before I could see her with my own eyes.
Me and my baby girl!
Hello Daddy!
Our family! It's been a long time in the making and we couldn't be happier!
We think she has my nose, cheeks and lips and Dennis's chin, eyes, and hair
Angelica was quite sleepy!
Baby girl with her beautiful eyes open!
We couldn't be happier and can't take our eyes off of her.
She fell asleep in this little pose. I think she is soooo cute!
I love you little girl!
so peaceful...
All three of us again.
They kept telling me she was a big baby, but with that pacifier in her mouth, she looks so small!
big yawn!
Our little honey bunny!
She makes a lot of faces in her sleep.
It looks like she just came up with a great new idea!
Sleeping peacefully
We came home from the hospital on Monday, December 21 in the evening. It was soooo cold outside! After being in the hospital for almost 4 days we were more than ready to go home!
What a cutie pie in her little LOVE outfit
This has got to be her favorite place to sleep, although she does sleep just about anywhere. I guess daddy's arms make her feel the best though.
Angelica's first (sponge) bath.
Here is a picture of us on her due date (12/23)
Eskimo kisses from daddy.
Merry Christmas! Angelica and her daddy in front of the tree.

All dressed and ready to go to a Christmas Eve party with my dad's family.
I thought this was a cool picture. I took it on our way to Dad's family's Christmas party.

Our little present! Merry Christmas!
Me and Angelica with my dad. I think she definitely has some "Brewer" in her. :)
Angelica with her Auntie Lisa
This ornament says "Best Gift Under the Tree!" and she sure is!
Let's not forget about my 4-legged babies! Both Russ and Bam are taking well to the baby so far.
Rusty!
Our nephew Tony is sooooooooooo excited to have a cousin. He bought her the book "Goldilocks" for Christmas. As soon as he saw her, he told me how beautiful he thought she was and asked if he could hold her. How cute!
