First Bath...

Look at my handsome boy and his beautiful brown eyes!!

Mommy looking horrible (it was 3 am) and my sweet boy...I love this one because the way he is looking up at me.

So I am a mean horrible mommy...Frankie threw up for the first time the other night and we had to give him (and mommy) a sponge bath. He didn't like it at all...hence no pictures of the actual bathing part. Daddy had to hold him while mommy washed him off...but after he was so calm. I think next time he may actually like it. Plus he smelled so yummy and looked so ADOREABLE in his little hooded towel!

Even More Pics of Our Little Man...

Trying to catch a smile from our cute boy!

Our little sleepy head.

Popping collars with Daddy.

Daddy's way of putting him to bed...he loves having his head rubbed.

Sooooo sweet!!! :)

Frank Madison Marti has ARRIVED!!!!

Hi Everyone!!!

If you haven't already figured out we had our little man!!! He was born on June 19th via C-section. He was 6lbs 15oz and 20 inches long! He is such a cute little peanut, but mommy can't believe that as big and hard and my belly was that he is so small!! haha! His name changed several times before Daddy finally settled on one and ran in and told me right before they made the incision....Frank Madison Marti. He was so sure about it and when Frankie came out we were very sure about it. We had been planning on a vaginal birth, but mommy couldn't dilate past 4 centimeters....I was at 4 for 8 hours!!!! I was so relieved to have him out and they definitely got him out and in his Daddy's arms quick! We had a wonderful experience at Portsmouth Naval!!! That is the best staff in the world! We really appreciate the love and skill you guys showed our family!!! He was quite a favorite with the nurses....we would wake up and he would be missing and we would go in search for him only to find him being hugged and kissed and passed around by the night nurses!! What can I say he is a ladies man! Mommy is doing wonderful and healing fast and Daddy has been just amazing as a first time Daddy! He is a natural. Here are some pics and we will hopefully be posting more in the near future! He is such a wonderful baby and so laid back that I am sure free time can and will be found! :)

Frankie's Room...

So here are some pics of the baby room. We still have some things to hang up...some frames a little shelf and a book bin, but all and all it is done. I think the green is not everyone's taste, but once everything is in place I will LOVE it!!! It is so colorful which is exactly what I wanted. There is also a huge airplane fan to go in soon too....don't ask! Thanks to all our friends and family who got us such amazing gifts!! He is definately not in want of anything and his room is just babyland! I have loved spending hours in there getting it ready so I think he is really going to love it!


Sorry so dark! That window lets in alot of light so I guess it confused the camera...I will try to get a better shot later in the evening.

Already has a full toy box...so spoilt!

Don't worry the stroller won't be staying in the room. We just have to put up the storage hooks in our closet downstairs.

He actually has 4 pooh bears and lots of other pals waiting!

The cozy rocker and super cute quilt Sister Johnson made!!! Don't ya love the airplane tie backs.

40 Weeks and Then Some...

Mommy at 40 weeks...bad pic

So today is my due date. I think we can all figure that I am definately not in labor while typing this and know that he is late. Fortunately we had a doctor's appointment this morning and got to be checked out to see what the hold up is. Apparently this little man is quite cozy where he is and in no rush to come and greet the world. I guess I can't blame him on that one! :) Thankfully our doctor being the kind woman that she is saw my frustration and heartbreak at not having my little one on his way that she has decided that we can induce!!! YIPPIE!!! So unless he comes earlier than next Thursday we will be inducing Thursday the 18th at 8pm! OH HAPPY DAY!!! I am so excited to meet this little guy and apparently Daddy is too! Frank and I have tried talking him out...so has his Vive, Grandma Whitney, Rachel and Dakota, Lisa Marie, Becky, Steffie, and so many others!! He has so many people who love him and can't wait to meet him.

Before I don't have a second to myself and can't write this to my dear sweet little boy...I love you!!! I love you so much already that I can't even imagine how it will be when you get here!!! From the second we took the test to now! I am in a hurry to get you out so we can hold you and kiss you, but I will miss feeling you grow in my belly. I will really miss you and Daddy playing games of poke mommy in the morning and feeling your little kicks. I will miss listen to Puccini and Stevie Wonder feeling you dancing around. Not to mention Daddy reading "Stick and Rudder" to you to get you to move for mommy. We love you little Dashtu...see you on Thursday!
