First Two Weeks

Ben is two weeks old now and is such a sweet baby!  He sleeps almost around the clock, just waking up to eat!  He eats and sleeps so much, that his doctor thinks he's going to grow to be a big boy.  We hardly ever see his eyes open.  Pretty much all I do is hold him, except at night, when we swaddle him and put him in his bassinet.  We are so in love with this boy!!!  The couple of times a day when we do see his eyes, he has huge, beautiful eyes.  I can't wait to see them when he's more alert!  At his doctor's appointment, his doctor mentioned several times that he is just perfect!  I couldn't feel more blessed to have such a healthy baby.  His weight is very good, surpassing is birth weight and then some, and his coloring is great.  He says he thinks he'll have olive skin like Jack.










I was so blessed to have my wonderful mother take off work stay with me all week. I don't know what I would have done without her.  She helped me get some sort of routine started, and just helped me each step of the way as I tried to figure out how to be a mother of three!  She also took some great pictures of Ben, which I'm so thankful for, because I don't think I would have remembered without her!!
