Can you believe it, he is finally here!!!!! It was a pretty crazy delivery but an excellent finale to a long pregnancy. I went to my Dr.s appointment at 9:30am Wed, morning and they said I was still just barely a three dial. So they sent me home and said come back next week. My labor started about 11:00am and stayed strong all day so at 9:30pm we went to labor and delivery hoping to be admitted. No such luck, as soon as they laid me down the contractions stopped and I was still only between 3-4 dial. They told me that I wasn't ready and that I should just come back in two hours and maybe something would change. WELL, something changed. Just two hours later at 11:30pm my contractions were CRAZY. As Mike was trying to get me in the car to return to the hospital (a 20 min drive) I felt the pressure of the babies head coming and I fell to the road. The baby was coming so Mike called an ambulance as I screamed in pain, on my hands and knees in the road in the middle of the night. The paramedics took me to a closer hospital because I was running out of time and as soon as we were in the delivery room they had me start pushing. I was scared to death of delivering without an epideral but I did it and now we have a beautiful little boy. He was 7.3 oz and 19 inches long. He has been very quiet and of course his two big brothers can't get enough of him. Welcome to our family little Zachy!!!

He is so beautiful and your family looks amazing in the pictures. I am so happy for you! I wish I could be there, please kiss Zachary for me! (yes, I cried when I saw the pictures!) I miss you even more now!!!!
He is so cute! He looks so peaceful for how much drama you had to go through! I am so glad you are both ok after your near street side delivery. I can't even imagine an "all natural" deliver (I know that doesn't mean much from someone that has never been pregnant before, but its stories like yours that keep me scared!). We love you all very much and can't wait to see you all again!
He is so precious. You both look great. I just want to hold him. Congratulations to the great addition to your family. Congratulations. Hug him and love him extra for me.
CONGRADS!!! Well what a story to tell him about. That is a fear i have, giving birth on the street or something, and without an epidrial, OMWord, my hats are off to you. All I have to do is wait until Sunday when John comes home, I am just hoping these contrations STOP!! Funny how I want to wait and you couldn't wait to get him out, (you and every other prego woman in the WORLD!! :) ) Well congrads again. So cute!!
Congrats guys! What gorgeous boys you have in your family Bri!
Oh my gosh Bri, what craziness! I went natural with Piper, but I planned on doing it. I can't imagine having that be a surprise. You are one tough lady! He is so cute, I think he looks like Garret. I'll call you soon. Congrats! Love ya, Ahlena
Congradulations! He's so cute. I can't wait to come and meet the little man.
Congrats Smith family. I had my third one with out anything also, but my story doesn't compare to yours, I am glad all went well and that he is finally here for your family to enjoy.
You know how the Smith boys are all about the stories! So I'm not surprised at the drama. Good job Bri on your natural delivery. I did two of them that way - not by choice. Your Zach is beautiful! Wow, I'm so glad all three of my little grandsons are here now. Can't wait to see him, and the rest of you on Monday.
He is soooo cute!! I'm so glad you were able to make it to the hospital before you delivered! Congrats!!!
So glad he finally made it here! He is so cute!! He looks like Garret to me- what do you guys think?
He's so handsome, just like his brothers! That sure was an exciting delivery! Congratulations you guys!
He really is so cute. It amazes me every time I see a brand new baby how small they actually are. He is so precious. Your whole experience just sounds absolutely horrible. It is my worst nightmare every time I'm pregnant. I'm so impressed that you did it!!!
Wow! What a GREAT story! I'm so glad everything turned out so well. Kudos to you and the no epideral! You're the woman! I sure hope he isn't three or four years old before I get to snuggle him a little! He's adorable. Congratulations!
Aloha Bri! Congratulations! We are so happy to hear baby Zachary & momma are doing well; we just wish we could be there to share in this exciting time. You & Mike are amazing parents & Zachary & the boys are so lucky to have you. Hopefully our paths will cross again soon. Much love to you!
