Today we went to the doctor for a one month check up. It was confirmed that we have one whopper of a big boy. He weighed in at 11 lbs 6 oz and is 23 1/2 inches tall! His birth weight was 9 lbs even, and he was 21 1/2 inches tall. He's growing like a weed! I hope that my arm muscles are growing in proportion to him! He is in the 90th percentile for height and weight. Which leads one to ask... Where did this tall child come from? We can't wait to see our big boy grow more and more!

One month!
Evan turned one month old yesterday. Time has flown by since his birthday, yet in other ways it seems like forever ago that Ginny was pregnant. There have been more than a few surprises along the way...one of my biggest at the moment is trying to figure out you go from...
...this:
To this...:
...in mere seconds. I plan to ask Evan what the deal is, just as soon as he can talk.

Super Dad!
Over the past three weeks I have seen a super dad emerge from Andy. I always knew he would be an involved and loving dad, but I did not anticipate how instantaneous the transformation would be! From the first minutes of life Andy was holding Evan, changing diapers, and handling him with such ease. Here are some pictures taken over the past three weeks (can't believe it!) of dad and tiny son.
Quality time on the couch...

Too sweet!

Visitors
Evan has had quite the stream of visitors since he arrived at home...here's just a few pictures of some of his first guests (the lucky ones who got documented):
Great-Grandma Schmidt was taken with the little guy right from the start.
Grandpa is having a good time - can't wait until Evan can hold a golf club!
Grandma loves him too - and if it's pictures you're looking for, she's got them all!
It's Uncle Walter!!!
His first little buddy - J.T.
Auntie Em also paid a visit!

Evan's birth day - in a nutshell
So last Friday started normally enough...cold, rainy and just an appointment for a routine checkup at 8am. It was the due date, but nothing was happening yet. It didn't take long at the appointment, however, for the doctor to make the call to send Ginny to the hospital - she had been showing signs of preeclampsia for a little while, and on this day her blood pressure was elevated.
Since it was the due date and all, we found ourselves off for an induction...

He's Here!!
We are excited to introduce Evan Andrew Schmidt! Evan joined the world at 6:40pm on 2/1/08 – right on his due date.
He was a whopping 9 pounds 0 ounces, and measured 21 inches. Ginny and Evan are both doing well, and we are so grateful for our healthy baby boy.
Here are few pictures from shortly after his birth:
