On Monday, April 20, Frankie's anticipated due-date, he was already decked out in a blue sleeper and heading home. Francis Robert Bournique-Trujillo (pronounced "true-HE-oh") had arrived two days "early," weighing 5 pounds 13 ounces, and measuring 18 inches long. Esperanza spent a long, hard day laboring to bring him to birth. She went into the hospital at 5:15 a.m. and had to wait until 8:55 p.m. to meet him. She was overheard saying, as she cuddled him for the first time, "It was the worst pain ever--but you were worth it!" Grandma and Grandpa were very relieved that Mom's ordeal was finally over, and ecstatic that this beautiful child was finally here!
As we draw closer to becoming Grandma and Grandpa for the very first time, we are creating this space to record and share our experiences. We expect this to be one of the "grandest" adventures of our entire lives!
We hope to have fun while we spend these final weeks waiting for our little one to put in his appearance. By keeping this blog, we're also sharing with you the fun and excitement we're feeling. Thanks for joining us as we "hurry up and wait!"
