Our Son...Samuel

Samuel Lawrence Sewacki was born in Sheboygan on 12/21/06 at 3:18 am. He weighs 7 pounds and is 22 inches. He is the most unbelievable little man. Over the last 24 hours we had some ups and downs, it all started in Sheboygan around 8am. Samuel is doing fine now but he got an infection in his lungs that needed to be treated. Sheboygan was not fully equipped to handle his situation, so he...and we...have been transported to Green Bay, where Samuel is getting some pretty awesome treatment. We're even enjoying a little with the fact that they have a hotel on the top floor so we don't need to be too far from him. As it stands Samuel will need to stay here for at least seven days. And as of now he is doing very, very well. We are both extremely excited to bring him home and show him off to everyone, though you all will just have to wait a little longer than expected. I'd post his pictures here, but I'm not currently able to access the internet with our computer. Most of you should have gotten and email with a couple of pictures anyway.

In a bit of irony...he shares a birthday (and most of his name) with a certain someone you can view here: http://imdb.com/name/nm0000168/ This, mind you, was not intentional...though, very f-ing cool. I hope you all are well and have a Merry Christmas!

Priceless Nursery

I thought it would be fun to do something a little more entertaining instead of just some pictures. If the image on top of this post is not animated, click on the image to open it in a new window and watch the show. It's just a small tour of the nursery and some of the items in it. Enjoy, and thank you again to everyone.

Baby Shower

Thank you to all our friends and family who came to the baby shower. Thank you also to those of you who could not make it, but showered us with gifts anyway. We are lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people who share in the joy and excitement of our new little one! We can't wait for our son to meet you all!

Annual Halloween Party

October 28, 2006 - Annual Halloween Party

Bun in the Oven

A child by any other name would be...

It's inevitable...when you start dating, everyone asks when you are getting married. After you are married, everyone asks when you will have children. And the next thing that I've found that everyone wants to know is what you're going to name your child. Well I'm happy to say that we're in the process of picking out a name. We have been for quite some time, and when we decide on a name we will let everyone know...after he's born. I'm curious as to what the next big question will be after everyone knows his name.

We've finally registered. You can find the link on the right to the Target baby registry. The link will take you right to it. You'll just have to enter our names to get the list. You can also go to Target and look us up in the computer kiosk.

The shower invites have also been sent out. The shower is Nov. 18th. I (Mark) have no idea what is planned, but I'm sure everyone will have a good time. I'll be staying safely out of the way that day.

Sorry, no pictures this time...the doctors don't take them on every visit. We'll all just have to wait a while for some new ones.
