Happy New Year to everyone!
With great pleasure we announce the birth of our baby girl Marianna Teran Snideman.
She was born Saturday December 29 at 9:23pm. She weighed 7.2 ounces and was 19 ¼ inches in length. And of course she is gorgeous!
The whole experience was by far the coolest experience of my life. All I can say is that I have a lot more respect for what women go through and I appreciate more what my parents went through bringing me and my siblings into this world!
Yoana did an AMAZING job. After seeing her go through those contractions for hours (brutal to say the least), it was encouraging to see that the baby was ready to come out. I am more convinced now than I was before of the need for high intensity strength training for women. When it came time to push Yoana’s strength and fitness levels kicked into high gear. It pays off to be super strong and super fit!!!!

The emotions are overwhelming. Every feeling a human being can experience is magnified times 1000 when you see and touch and hear your little child for the first time. At first you’re in shock, then awe and then in a bit of panic kicks in. Can I do this? Do I have what it takes? What if I mess up? Thoughts I’m sure most parents have. But the doubts slowly start to melt away when you hold your little baby and she looks in you in the eyes. Life starts to makes sense and immediately, instantaneously, life becomes more important and significant in a way that could only be described as supernatural. Those of you who are parents will understand.
And so we start our journey into parenthood I would ask that all of you would pray that Marianna would be very healthy and that God would give Yoana and I wisdom as parents.
Blessings to all!
Franz, Yoana, Marianna
