A Brantley Update

I can't believe he is already 7 days old! This time last week was a day that I will never forget! Brantley is doing SO well. His jaundice has gone down so he is no longer on any lights. He will be on, what the hospital considers, full feedings tomorrow as long has everything goes as it should. I should be able to start breast feeding him by hopefully next Sunday. He is breathing great and in this next week or two he will start loosing the many cords he has attached to him. He also is starting to gain his weight back. Last Wednesday he had lost about 7 ounces taking him to a weight of 3 pounds 14 ounces. Yesterday he weighed exactly 4 pounds! We are so excited! I am amazed at how much love I have for this little guy. When I am not with him I feel like there is a piece of me missing. I love the little guy so much and soon we will be able to bring him home!

Welcome to our life!!!

David and I met at Weber State Univeristy in a chemistry class. David didn't ask me out til the end of the semester, he says that it is because I was still in high school, but I think it is because he was scared. Our first date was April 28 2007, he proposed in November 2007 and we were married January 10, 2008. Our first year of marriage was hard, but as time went on life has only got better.We have been so blessed. We love life now and feel that we have grown closer than we ever could have with all of the struggles and trials that we have gone through. October 24, 2010 we welcomed Brantley Chlarson Smedley into our family. He came 8 weeks early via emergancy c-section. But he is growing like a weed and makes us laugh on a daily basis. Almost two years later, on July 26th, 2012 we welcomed Braylee Sage into our family. She was on time but like her brother wanted to come into this world with a bang. Braylee was also delivered via c-section but she is a beautiful happy baby and we are so glad she is ours. We love our little family and are excited for what the future will bring.
