Esther weighing in at 3kg


Esther weighing in at 3kg

It was a crazy few days that brought this little one out into the world!

Franzie's waters broke around 2am on Friday morning, and we ended up at Katoomba hospital, but with no contractions till 3pm! Esther Evelyn Nelson was born at 4:39pm... so very quick labour.

Everything was great until Franzie's placenta didn't want to budge, but all's well now... the photo below shows how happy Franzie was 30secs after deliver :-)

Can anything stop that smile!?


Miriam's very excited to have a little sister, but her whole world has changed too, so we want to make sure we help her through this transition too!

Another little Nelson added to the fold. Really happy for you and Fran and the rest of your family! Glad to hear that the labour was easy =) If Miriam is anything to go by, Esther's going to grow up just gorgeous!

Hey! just realised. Your kids are the eldest in our generation of friends. Methinks Sook Young and Jin have a lot of catching up to do... you too Alain! :p

The Nelson family,

Many many congratulations on the new member. Esther looks absolutely adorable and Steven is right (for once), seeing Miriam, looks like Michael will be a busy dad trying to fend off crazy lovesick men going after your two gorgeous daughters.

So happy for you and I really wish I could be there ... hopefully i can make a trip back to visit sometime next year .... keep us posted with the pics ..

Lots and lots of love...

Dear Franzie, Michael Miriam and Esther,
congratulations to you Michael being a double-Dad now, congratulations to Franzie being so strong and brave (o my god, I'm sitting here with a dictionary... what a shame!), and congratulations to little Miriam being the big sister now.
Esther is as beautiful as Miriam was when she was born! And look what a lovable girl she is today! And now you have TWO wonderful girls. That's a real gift.
It was two days ago when Alex asked me: "Didin't you say Franzie is pregnant? When does the little baby come?". Today I can give him the answer: "She's there!" We both wish you all the best, stay healthy and happy!
Franzie, ich bewunder Dich und freu mich total für Euch! Ich denk an Dich und drück Dich ganz fest!

Lots of Love
Alex und Moni aus Mainz (Frag nicht...)
