Proud Parents!

Gus Alan was born at 2:41 a.m. on 11/17/2007. He weighed in a healthy 7 pounds and 10 ounces. He wasn't as tall as we thought he'd be at 19 and 3/4 inches. He's in good health and we couldn't be happier.

Allison did great -- she is tough as nails. Both Mom and Gus are doing great. He's been successful at latching on to eat twice now. We've been spending almost every minute of the day staring at the little guy. He's absolutely perfect.

Here's some pictures of Gus right after he was born.

"So that's where the voice is coming from that I've heard for the last 10 months."



The specs on Junior.








"Lady, take that cold metal thing off of me. Now!"


He didn't enjoy being weighed.




It's an unbelievable feeling to be parents. We couldn't be more blessed! We wanted to say thank you to all our family and friends who have helped us through this and have been so kind.

He looks like a Gus! These pics are great! I love that he already appears to know how to pose. What a little personality already.
My favorite photo is the one where he has his finger to his chin and seems annoyed with the nurse, he looks alot like his dad and grandpa Dave!
Again, congratulations Pankratz Family!!!

Hey, way to go webmaster (Dad) on getting some quick photos on!!! Congrats to all of you!! He is a keeper. I can't get over how wide-eyed he is! Seems so alert already. And can't believe little Allison had that big of a baby in her...way to go Mom! Can we expect him to perform any dance moves at Christmas time?!?

I plan on calling him "Gus Bus"...(from the movie, Benchwarmers). When I say Gus, the word Bus just follows it...
