Introducing Burke Ander Bollman by Brett

Posted in: Burke- May 01, 2011 34 Comments

What a crazy time of life this is… I don’t think any amount of advice or learning about other’s experiences can truly prepare you for what it means to go through pregnancy, labor, and birth. So many different emotions just swirling around all at the same time. At this point, we know that everyone is anxiously anticipating seeing our new little favorite person in the world… so we just wanted to get a post up to let the world have its first glimpse of Burke. Everyone is doing well and appears to be in great health. We’ll definitely have more details later… but that will come after a little more sleep and a little more training at this whole parenting thing. For now… that’s about all we can handle. Enjoy!

    Grandma is beaming with happiness. He’s the perfect little laddie. See you soon, my dear ones.

    We Gramdmas think alike – beaming with happiness, joy, pride, and all that stuff. What can prepare you to see the first child of one of children? You have no idea what that mix of beautiful genes will produce. You guys “did good” :) My favorite is the one with Annemarie and Burke is peeking out at his mom and his new world. We have a picture of Autumn and Loralyn in almost the same pose – our kids are too precious for words. I can’t wait to hold him and to help in any way I can. Much, much love.

    So happy for you! He is adorable! Welcome to parenthood…..your life has only just begun in the most magical way. I kept checking to see if he was born yet and what his name was…I was guess it began with a B and while I was up in the middle of the night last night with Wyatt, I was thinking of you and going through all the B names in my head it might be….didn’t guess Burke but love it!…the things I think of nursing at 2am! Congradulations!! He is so cute…and love the name!

    Super cute baby! Congrats Annmarie and Brett! Now the reality will slowly set in and you’ll realize that you have absolutely no clue what to do, but somehow, things will turn out totally alright!

    Excellent looking blog btw, one of the best I’ve seen anywhere; wordpress? special theme? Very clean look…

  17. Reply Tara says:

    Congrats to your new little family! It is amazing the way our bodies are designed to produce these beautiful babies!
    Now all the things you thought you had studied up on you will second guess. It is okay… go with your gut. No one knows your baby like you do.
    I LOVE his name. Love you!

    Holy smokes! He’s awesome! Congratulations you two!!! That is just amazing. Like DJ said… you named him B.A. Bollman. That’s a pretty sick name… especially later in life when he can claim to be B.A. Well done you two… you’ve done well. Praise God he’s healthy! Can’t wait to meet Burke :D
