Samuel Justin Schmidt - 03.27.2012

Samuel Schmidt has arrived!
March 27, 2012
5lbs. 5 oz
18 inches long



 but it has taken me almost 2 weeks to get out of the house where I have internet in order to report his safe arrival. And now that I am here I forgot my camera and the newborn pictures I just got last night, ugh, I thought forgetfullness ended with the pregnancy. :) Well lucky for me Stephanie, a good friend who took our newborns, has posted some of the pictures on her blog to hold us over until I get things together. Feel free to check them out along with her other photography. She did such a good job capturing our little boy. I can't thank her enough.

I feel a little lost right now, leaving Sam with Justin at the apartment in order for me to be on campus. Not that Justin won't take great care of him, he's just my right hand man. We have great chats all day and when he sleeps I like to peek at him several times. One night recently Justin was telling me about his test, or his day and I kept looking off at our sleeping boy, enough that Justin felt a bit neglected -- or at least that he did not have my full attention. Oops -- we love our little man.

Justin has expressed several times how much fun it is to come home knowing he's got Samuel, his buddy, waiting for him.

Samuel has brought a beautiful spirit into our home. We enjoy every minute with him. We laugh at almost everything he does -- face making, holding our fingers, reaction to his bath, peeing on mom or dad, passing gas, burping, kicking, etc. What a joy he has been and we look forward to many more fun times to come.

We love you Samuel!

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

It's Friday night of Spring Break and we are sitting in the Engineering lab ...... Justin watching March Madness and me blogging.  Some people may think it's a little on the boring side, but I have to say we are both quite enjoying ourselves.  As Spring Break approached we were under the impression that we just might be welcoming our baby boy sooner than later. On March 6th, I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..... the Dr said he could be here in 2-3 days or 2 weeks. Justin and I had a couple of sleepless nights after hearing this. Jumping at any sign of labor -- makes me laugh now.  The days have passed by with few contractions and no real progress. I have to say my emotions have been all over. At times I so want to be done being pregnant and have this little boy in my arms and then the next minute I am soaking up the time Justin and I have left to easily (well 9 months pregnant easily) hop on the motorcycle for a ride up town. After reading, learning, and practi

Happy Halloween

Thanks to the Schmidt pumpkin patch  I have several cute little pumpkins I've always wanted and thanks to the Daniels party for the cute carved pumpkins that really set the Halloween tone! The Schmidt Sisters!  October 23rd we had the annual Grandpa Jess Birthday Party get together! I felt like it had been forever since the Daniels family had been together.  Not enough catching up happened for me, but it was sure fun to be around family and carve pumpkins. It helped me start to get into the Halloween spirit. Bummer that I did not take pictures at the party. But these pumpkins made me smile each day I saw them on our porch. Halloween was so much fun when you were a kid, but as I have aged the holiday has lost it's excitement. For Halloween this year we happened to be in Salt Lake with the Schmidts. Justin was presenting his IHC idea and I had the day to myself. The Schmidt family gathered at the pumpkin patch for pictures before the night of trick or treating would
