Welcome to the Kollasch Family Blog. We wanted a way to share information with all our friends and family and not over-burden anyone with emails. Here's our story...
Chris and I welcomed Benjamin Robert Kollasch into our lives on 12/18/07 at 7:43 pm. He was 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 20.5" long. We had a pretty uneventful pregnancy (thankfully) and the birthing process went as well as can be expected. I am not looking forward to going through that anytime in the near future. Chris and my mom were in the room with me and helped bring Ben into the world. He was born with a head full of dark hair, his dad's long fingers and toes, and his mom's nose. It was an incredibly emotional experience and we are truly blessed to have a son like Ben. We spent the next day and a half in the hospital and then brought Ben home on Thursday 12/20/07. He battled a bout of jaundice that required him to have a phototherapy blanket for a few days. Luckily they are able to send one home with us so we didn't have to bring Ben to the hospital. He seems to have recovered nicely and is changing daily. Rightnow our biggest issue is trying to reset his "clock" so that he sleeps and night and not all day. We have had a few nights where Ben has kept us up because he slept all day! My parents have embraced their role as grandparents - they have been a tremendous help. Chris's mom lives just down the road from us and is also enjoying her newest grandchild.
Here are some pictures - I will keep them updated as much as possible. Enjoy!
