My BIG FAT Midlife Crisis!: Wyatt Alexander Smith has entered the world!

The little guy has finally arrived. Wyatt Alexander Smith was born on 4-22 @ 4:22 am. He was 9 lbs. and has lots of black hair. He is adorable I must say! It was an amazing home birth. We were there from early evening to birth. Being the true rednecks that we all are, we pulled our camp trailer to their house and parked outside...that sounds even stupider as I write it...haha. To our defense, their house is small and there was a lot of family there. More room for naps and the kids loved having it there. But it was kind of funny. We ate tacos, played guitars, annoyed the pregnant lady and had a great family time.

Baby Wyatt ended up being born in the bathtub. I guess in a home birth you never know where you may end up at that moment. I was there for his first cry, got to hear his momma say.."it's a boy" (I had already told her that..duh!) and I got to cut the cord, well I tried. I had the scalpel backwards but I eventually got it right. There were enough of us that someone would have eventually figured out how to cut through that thing. We woke the girls and Ivey (7) said "I prayed it was a boy!". She was so excited. Bethany (4) was in awe of the whole situation.

The amazing part of a home birth is that it is so relaxed. We sat around, held the baby, ate, talked. Some took cat naps. I don't think Brynna slept a wink until the next day. It was a surreal event and I am so thankful for a daughter and son-in-law that wanted to share it with us. I guess they never really asked...we were just there. LOL!
