Guest writer - Karen

The boys came to meet their baby sister today!
Interviewing my sis:

Jenn: I've slept 2.5 hours.

Introducing Annika June Wagner, born 9/6 at 1:01 am.  8 lbs 1 oz, 20 inches long and red hair!

And, finally, this is Mark pointing to himself and saying, "Mark" which is his new favorite thing.  You should skype and see it - it's awesome.

Congratulations Wagner Fam of 5!!!

Expecting

 

I've been having a lot of fun lately: when someone asks me how I am, I get to say "I'm pregnant!"

We're expecting a little one at the end of August.  Luke and I had a sneak peek last week and everything looks fine.  We're getting pretty good at reading the ultrasound images and Luke pointed out all the structures before the the midwife had the chance.

Three little Wagner children.  Whoa.  I couldn't be happier!

 

Baby is about this size right now.  The little doll is something I put in Luke's stocking.

Mark Lawrence Wagner is here!

Hi friends and family!  This is one of the proud aunts, Karen, and I've hacked into Jennifer's account to bring you all wonderful news!

Mark Lawrence Wagner is here at  9.5 lbs and 20.? inches.  Apparently he's an awesome nurser (keeping up with that 9.5 lbs birth weight!) and is just awesome.  My phone is not fancy enough to upload pictures, but I'm sure Jenn and Luke will be uploading some soon.

Jenn looks gorgeous and did it with no epideral, just Luke's encouragement!  :)
Luke is on his way to pick up Scott to introduce him to his new baby brother now.

CONGRATULATIONS [California] Wagner Family!  We love you!

From all the Aunts (and Uncles!) ... please post pictures! :)

One week

One week ago, Luke and I were getting settled in the hospital. Now I'm sitting here with this angel baby on my lap, unable to believe how much has happened in 7 days! Scott has learned so much: how to breathe, cry, eat, and make us fall apart with happiness and laughter. What an excellent addition to Team Wagner!

Thank you to sister/aunt Karen for posting early pictures and news on baby Scott for us and thank you for all the family and friends that have visited and helped us. We're looking forward to seeing the rest of you soon! For the first few days, we were pretty much holed up in our little nest, doing a lot of resting:



Last night we watched the presidential debate at Kelly's house, and lately we've been taking walks with Scott in the sling (which both he and I love). Today we took our Freebird's gift card (thank you Alex!) and went out for lunch and a stroll.

Our first non-family visitors -- Jeff, Shanna (with a little baby bump) and family -- stopped by on their way to the football game this morning. Scott was dressed for game day.



More soon!

Scott Alfred Wagner

Scott Alfred Wagner was born on Saturday, September 20th at 10pm. He weighed 7lbs8oz and was 19.25 inches long. He's already scoring high on his tests (how could you not with parents like his?) - his performance on his APGAR test was an outstanding 9/10!

He is absolutely precious - and I'm not saying that just because I'm related to him. Apparently he gets a bit fussy during the nights, but he put on an excellent show for grandparents, aunts, and uncle that got to visit him. We were there a few hours and he opened his eyes, wiggled around, and slept. The closest he got to crying was a few chirps.




They come home from the hospital today and Jenn is healthy and both parents are extremely happy! They even got naps earlier today.


Uncle Ben (aka Rice) already named Jennifer "Mother Nucleus" and Luke "Father Computer". :)
