INTRODUCING - BENJAMIN RUSSELL DANIELS!





Ok, so I don't know why it has taken so long to pick a name. It isn't that we couldn't agree or didn't like anything, it's just that nothing was sticking out as the "right name". But after calling him a variety of things this past week, we have settled on Benjamin. (or bitty-ben as I am calling him right now!:) He just looks like a Benjamin. And Russell is the middle name of his father, his grandfather and his great-grandfather, so that just seemed fitting. Benjamin is doing well, and in about an hour we are taking him to his first well baby check. He is also getting his little man circumcised today. OUCH! It is a good thing he won't remember today or he'd probably hate me for a while. I am doing well, still a little sore, but getting around much better. Poor Kimberly is being a very good sport. She is a little attention starved, but she loves her baby. She is constantly trying to kiss him and hug him. We have the portable crib set up in the basement and she has figured out that when she pushes her Lego Box up to the crib and stands on it, she can reach in. She likes to stand there and stroke him when he cries. So far I am not seeing much jealousy. I think she will be a really good big sister.
