Well we finally have our little man home. It is fantastic. The only thing that we are dealing with right now is he wants to be held all the time! Which we are more than happy to do, since we had to see him in a bed for so many weeks. However, he will not sleep in his bed now! I’m sure we will get something figured out with time, until then….long nights. We are so blessed to have a happy, healthy baby boy…I can’t wait to show him off to everyone!

Well It has been 2 weeks today since our little Ben has blessed us with his presence. He is still in the NICU, and he is doing well. We are still just waiting for him to eat more from his bottle and nursing. He is getting better and we are (cross your fingers) hoping he comes home this week. I will be honest, we are exhausted. I know everyone keeps telling us how tired we are going to be when he gets home…..but I must be honest, it will be nice to be back at home, together, and not have to go anywhere(especially a HOSPITAL). I am looking forward to that day, and I know Robert is too. I think we might even feel a little better than we do now. Until then, the two of us are trying to enjoy the time we have together. We went out to eat a couple of times. Now I must say, leaving our baby at the hospital to go sit at a restaurant just the two of us isn’t so easy, I feel guilty for not being with Ben. Soon, we will all be home! YEAH!

Well, that’s all the news I have for now. Keep us in your prayers!

Well first I must apologize to all you faithful readers. I was put on hospital bedrest and was not able to update this like I wanted to. LOL There are alot of things that didn’t happen like I wanted them too. If you haven’t heard yet, our little one has arrived. He is so perfect. It was a horrible experience….not only for myself but for Rob too. It was a long night of labor then an emergency c-section. I could describe the whole thing for you….but I will spare you the LONG story. Just know, I will not be hurrying to do that again for a while. I will take the time to enjoy my little boy. I hope all of you get to meet him soon.
I must admit things are rough right now. Ben is still in the hospital, and I only get to see him a few hours a day. Which is about 20 or so not enough. He is doing so great, he is not hooked up to any machines. He is only needing a little help eating, which I know is getting better by the day. He lost a few ounces and is now less than one ounce away frombeing back to his birth weight! YEAH! I know that it has been said over and over again by many people, but it is undescribable how much you can love someone so instantaneously. For now I will be recovering from my surgery, say a prayer for us! I think this is just as hard emotionally for me as it is physically.
