The Franks: Emmett is here!!!!!

Emmett Michael Franks arrived at 7:10pm on May 1st! He came in with a snow storm that hit Colorado. I don't ever remember that much snow coming in the end of April/beginning of May ever since I have been living here. Mike of course had just gone on the road Tuesday April 30th. Pam and my mom came in town that week just in case Emmett decided to join us while Mike was away:) My water broke in the middle of the night around 1am. The doctor let me stay at home since I wasn't having contractions yet. We didn't have to get to the hospital until 7am. It was so nice to relax at home for awhile. Mike was in Boston and his company got him on the first flight home Wednesday morning. He made it to the hospital at 10am so he had plenty of time before Emmett made his arrival! It was a pretty smooth labor and delivery. I only had to push for an hour and he came out at 8lbs 6oz and 19 inches long. We just love our little man. He is such a blessing and we are so thankful God brought him into our lives:)

I just got my epidural and Mike made it to the hospital!

I was trying to avoid a picture

Uncle Joe is a pro

The Moms did such a good job getting me to the hospital and watching over me until Mike made it there. It was really hard going into labor without my husband but I was beyond lucky and blessed to have two wonderful moms:)
