It's been 2 weeks since Hadassah came home, and well, all we can say is "wow". I know that I (Frank) don't have the words to express what becoming a dad is to me. I guess I can run down a list of some of the things I'm feeling.
1. First... Definitely JOY! I know what many of you were thinking, and no, it's not tiredness. That would be #3.
2. That we're blessed. (would that be "Blessedness"?) That GOD would give us such a wonderful gift, that we would want to give everything we own to, and yet receive even more back from her, it's just amazing. No words to describe it.
3. Tiredness. But it totally takes a backseat to both #1 and #2. If I had the chance to say whether I wanted to do this all over again, even knowing how tired I would be, I wouldn't hesitate. (How does it go Dennis? No hesitation.)
4. Amazed. At the strength of my wife. All of labor; sleepless nights; waiting hand, foot, and ... well let's just say everything, on a baby that needs her for everything. I guess I shouldn't be so amazed, she's a wonderful person, capable of so much, but I guess when I compare her to me, I know that I wouldn't be able to do it...
I'm sure there's more. But I can't think of any right now.
I just can't help staring at my monitor, looking at the wallpaper. It's a picture of my wife laying there, with Hadassah laying on her, perfectly serene and asleep. It makes the workday extremely hard...
Oh, btw, Amelia took Hadassah to the pediatrician yesterday(3/19) and we found out that she was 9lbs, 4oz. Thats almost 2 lbs in 2 weeks... she loves to eat, more than her dad, I think.

Baby Hadassah
Well, God is still blessing us...
When Hadassah was born, she was 7lbs 14oz, and when we left the Hospital on Monday, she was 7lbs 7oz(it's normal for a newborn to lose some weight at first). This morning we went to the Pediatrician, and found out that she, at less than one week mind you, is now 8lbs 4oz. She has gained almost a pound in 4 days! She is eating wonderfully, and Mom loves to spend that special time with her.
As you can see, there is a lot more news in the Breugem family now, so we will try to keep our blog updated more regularly. Hopefully y'all don't get tired of hearing about Hadassah!

The long awaited arrival!
Well, What can we say? The LORD has blessed us, indeed!
"Little Baby Breugem" now has a name and a face (And what a BEAUTIFUL face!).
Hadassah Joy Breugem was born on 3/3/2007 at 11:11am at Memorial Hospital in Modesto, CA. She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz, and was a whopping 21 1/4 inches long! (Not so surprising, right?)
Here are some pictures for all those who have been clamoring for them.
