Baby Frank

Awake and alert to a brand new world.

We had our baby! Franklin Arthur Bluemel was born on the 4th after a short but productive 2 hour labor. He was a big boy, just shy of 10lbs. He has been a great baby so far. He sleeps a lot, especially during the day. We are still adjusting to the schedule. It is so great to have a baby in the house again. His brothers love to hold him and help him. Mom and baby are healthy and happy, as is the whole rest of the family.

This may be one of the best pics I have of my boys. Genuine smiles and eyes open. :)

Proud Parents

41 Weeks and... Waiting

Every day I wonder if this is the day we get to have our baby. My patience is wearing thin and sometimes I wonder if I will be pregnant forever. But that's pretty much impossible. All in all, its been a good pregnancy and I've really felt pretty good.

The kids are excited. Roger likes to feel baby moving in my tummy. One day we were cuddling and baby started kicking Roger and we just laughed and laughed. Allen would enjoy it too if he could only hold still long enough to actually see or feel it. One day I was trying to get Allen to feel the baby and he said, "Is he coming out right now?" It was cute. Will insisted on taking a picture of me with my big belly for documentation purposes.


So one of these days we will have our baby. He has been long awaited, and we're so excited.
