First Bath and Playtime

We finally gave Emmett his first bath.  He wasn't so much a fan but we got it done:)  It was nice my mom was here to help and document some photos of us with the little guy.  We also used his play mat for the first time.  He loves being on his back to look at all the animals and colors.  Emmett has started some tummy time and he even rolled over onto his back at 3 weeks old!!!!  I'm not sure if it was just a fluke but he uses his strong little legs to move himself.  His head is taking some effort to pick up since it is a big Prindiville head;)

Emmett loving his first bath;)

Our little guy has some lungs on him!

We're almost done buddy

Of course, Mike jumped into see what all the fun was about

I'm not sure whose toy this is right now.  Do you think my son will be serious to make up the difference for his Dad's behavior?  Ha!

I love you sweet boy!!!

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


The snow storm that brought our Emmett into the world:)




The mommas kept themselves entertained

He's here!!!  Our sweet lil guy!


So in love with my lil blondie

I couldn't believe I had such a big baby!


Uncle Joe stopped in for a visit


Our last day at the hospital before heading home

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:)

Bill got into town about two hours after Mike so he got to see Emmett the first night too!

My Dad is farming so he won't get to see him until Memorial Day weekend.  


My favorite nurse Janet


We are heading home!

Tulsa Baby Shower

We had such a good time while we were in Tulsa for my baby shower!  It was my last trip I could take before the baby gets here.  Mike and I drove in with Barley and stayed for about a week.  The whole family was there and my parents were even able to join us too.  It was a busy week.  We celebrated Roman's 4th birthday, my baby shower, and got in some lake time too!  My parents got to spend some time at the lake and go on some cold boat rides with us. Mike's aunts Janell, Jill, and cousin Jessie hosted a wonderful baby shower for me.  It was so much fun and Ashley's mom even got to come celebrate with us too.
Me and my sista in laws:)  Ashley is pregnant too and will be expecting Hudson about 2 weeks after us.

I love this picture with Pam and her mom.

I was so happy my mom and dad could come in town for the shower.

Nursery

I have loved putting together Emmett's nursery.  I really enjoyed painting his letters and the ABC box that is sitting on his toy storage.  My friend Sabrina gave us her crib which looks brand new and is beautiful!  I found the glider in a neutral color which was not easy to find!  I've kept the colors pretty basic with neutral grays and different color blues.  It is so cozy and comfy.  There is definitely an airplane theme but I am also adding in animals in gray colors. 
Emmett is the name!!!!!

Airplane themed bedding

I love these curtains and his toy storage area

I added on new knobs to the dresser and I love the airplane light (from my mom) and airplane bank (from Mark, Whitney, and kiddos)
