Brody Taylor Smith Was Born May 3, 2011
Our baby boy was born 18 days early. He decided he had enough of being krinkled in a little ball.

May 3 was just supposed to be a regular old day, I was planning on just going to my weekly doctors appointments and then heading home. I was getting Non-stress test done every week to just make sure his little heart beat was good, making sure he was getting enough oxygen and they would check fluid levels. Brody had been normal every visit so I was expecting it to be the same. The nurse checked his heart beat that was great, then she started measuring fluid levels and I could tell she had to search a little harder then normal. She gets done measuring and tells me his fluid levels are at a 5 and "normal" healthy range is between a 10-24 so he was super low. The nurse told me I had to wait until a doctor could come see me to decide what to do. The doc came in and didn't even hesitate to say because of your history we want to admit you right now to have this baby. I said " RIGHT NOW Like right right now can I go home first"? He said no (well suggested No). At that moment I thought to myself no bag packed, my house a mess, Brody's room wasn't quite finished, I got so nervous at this point I wasn't ready for this I was supposed to have 3 more weeks!! I called Taylor and he rushed right over and we had our little Brody ready or not 9 hours later.
He was 6lbs 7 oz. 20 inches long. which was pretty good I thought for being 3 weeks early.
They told my I may have to have a C-section because babies that have low fluid usually don't take labor very well. He was a champ and took it great which I was so grateful for.
He was so quiet after he was born, they set him on me and he just sat and stared at me. I had been waiting so long to look into his sweet little eyes and he had them opened for me the whole time. A moment I will never forget, I still get teary eyed thinking about it :)
Proud Daddy.
Taylor always tells me how he thinks ALL babies are ugly and so he was totally planning on thinking our baby would be ugly. He hates to admit it but he thinks he is pretty cute.
We are so grateful he finally made it here safe and Healthy as can be. Every thing went so smooth. Its Amazing how much we love the little guy.
