Hospital Pictures

Day #2 in the hospital Benson had his pictures taken. The hospital has a contract with a local photography company that offers them to every family. I like them much better than the picture we had of Addy. Benson was circumcised, had his PKU done, and an ultrasound on his spine right before these were taken. So he wasn't feeling his best and he is all scratched up from the eventful morning. Considering the situation and the fact that the photographer was only in my room for 10 min, I think they turned out pretty cute.










We went to the pediatrician on Monday and Benson is doing great. They measured him wrong in the hospital and were off 2 inches. His stats are now 8lbs 1oz and 21 inches long. He was down to 7lbs 8oz when we came home on Sat, but is eating like a champ and has gained back 8 oz in
2 days.

I am still trying to find my place at home. Today has been my first day alone with my 2 babies. Lucky for me it has been great! I am still in my cozy clothes and not showered but there has been no melt downs or fits so far. I am pretty sleepy but of course couldn't take a nap. Addy was settled into bed for hers but Benson was wide awake and wanted more to eat. I did get to sleep from 2-6 a.m. this morning which has made a world of difference for my day. If only I could get motivated to get some laundry done and the house cleaned up. That just might have to wait!

Baby Benson

Benson is here!
He was born Feb 18 at 4:45 p.m. weighing 8lbs 4oz and 19 inches long. We are both doing great! Addy loves him! She was very excited to see her new baby brother. She kept saying to him " Addy right here baby Benny, I right here." She also said a few times, " hi little buddy!"
I loved having them together at the hospital even though it was just for a few minutes.
I was able to have a VBAC and the delivery was very quick. If everything goes as planned, we will get to go home tomorrow. Christian's parents are here taking great care of us. My mom will be here next week! I can't wait for her to meet my little guy. I will post more pictures once we are home.
