I am pleased to announce my first official blog post on this site . . . and we had our baby.
If I were Jennette I would say that we had our baby a week early. But since it's me . . . we had our baby within the standard deviation of due date ± 2wks. Actually if you take the limited data from Jennette's previous pregnancies it appears her mean gestation time is not quite the standard 40 weeks, but we'd have to have a lot more kids to get the confidence interval nailed down.
It took us a little while to settle on a name while I tried every negotiating trick in the Scientology handbook to convince Jennette to name him "Surrey Fringe Fennimore." I was unsuccessful, so we've compromised on:
Saul Smith Fennimore
For those keeping the box score:
Arrived: Mar 10, 2009
Weight: 6 lbs. 12 oz.
Length: 20 inches
Weight: 6 lbs. 12 oz.
Length: 20 inches
Mom and Baby are at home and doing well. Max and Olivia are loving having a little baby in the house and are eager helpers. Isabel, however, insisted her name was "baby" today when I introduced her to a friend, so I guess she's not exactly ready to relinquish her former position. Oh well, the baby-elect is amenable to a power sharing agreement.
For those familiar with our previous infants, this one doesn't exactly break the mold, but there are slight nuances that make him unique. To the untrained eye it probably just looks like I'm recycling a baby picture from one of our previous babies because I couldn't find a USB cable.
At any rate feel free to tell us he's the most beautiful baby you've ever seen. Hopefully we'll post additional news and pics in the coming weeks.

He's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen! (Besides our Hazel, of course. Who weighed one ounce less and was 2 inches shorter than Saul.) Seriously, he's very, very adorable.
Welcome to zombieland. I just spent 4 hours trying to get Hazel to go to sleep in her cradle before she finally did.
I do hope your pipes thawed out and the dishes got done before Saul was born.
Oh he is so so cute! I knew he would be. I am glad to hear all are well and I am glad to know that you have two kids named after me. Sortof. Oliva Jane and Saul Smith.
Good work and good luck with him.
You guys make cute babies!!!! Congrats to all.
Sweet, sweet baby! I am so happy for you. Good luck with baby Isabel and the adjustment that they are all going to go through.
He's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.
CONGRATS!
I love the name!
Oh my goodness, what a doll! Congratulations!!
Very good job guys! He is adorable! Congrats!
Congratulations you guys! He's beautiful! Good luck with the other "baby". :)
He's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen! He does kind of break the Fennimore/Smith mold, doesn't he? If ever I'm having a bad moment during the day I'll just read something you've wrote, Adam, to lighten me up! Say hello to Jennette.
Oh my gosh. You like my grammar in that previous comment. How embarrassing!
He is ADORABLE! I love his name, his cheeks, all of him. Congratulations!
Oh he IS the most beautiful baby boy! Nothing like a well matched bunch of kids! Congrats!
I'm glad it all went well. Congratulations on the new addition to the family.
Hurray, we are glad that he is here safely. And he is beautiful. Did you say slight nuances? unique? He looks like he fits right in. I hope everyone is doing well.
The world is a better place with another Fennimore in it. Congratulations, guys!
He's beautiful! Did your car ride home last week "scare" him out of you? I'm glad we got one last games night in! We'll have to come down soon to welcome him to the world!
Oh, I LOVE the name Saul, good choice and congrats!
