2 WEEKS OLD!




Picture #1 - Bitty-Ben in a newborn onesie that still swims on him and his ultra PHAT Jordan beanie sent by honorary "aunt" Cassie. I have a hard time getting him to stay awake when I want a picture.

Picture #2 - Bitty-Ben at the doctors office. Not a great picture, but at least he is awake. I need a camera with less of a delay!

Benjamin had his two week check-up yesterday and he is doing great! He has grown 3/4 of an inch and gained a whopping 7 ounces! He is now 6 lbs. & 10 oz. I am trying to adjust to life with multiple children. Those of you who have had many children may think that I am a weenie. However, it is really different having two kids. I feel like all I do all day long is change diapers and feed kids, with some laundry interspursed. Benjamin is so small and even the newborn diapers don't fit him very well. So he always leaks out of them. And the times when he doesn't leak, I get the diaper off and he pees all over himself and the room. (and sometimes me) Yesterday, I went through 5 outfits in 24 hours.....and he only has about 8 outfits.


The rest of the family is doing well too. Kimberly is adjusting to not being the only child and getting back to normal. The clingy thing is calming down, although she is still crying when we drop her off at nursury. Not sure why that started. Alan is staying busy with his free-lance graphic design work. And I am actually losing some weight. I have lost 25 pounds since the baby came already. Without too much work. Unfortunately this morning was the first time I stepped on the scale and didn't weigh less than the day before, I was just the same. CRAP! I knew I would plateau at some point, I was jsut hoping It wouldn't be for another 30 or 40 pounds! HEHE! I guess I should be greatful for the ease of the first 25. Now the real work starts.

Callie is having a birthday party tonight. It should be super fun. Unfortunately it was planned for outside and it has been raining and stormy all day. Hope that doesn't put too much of a "DAMPER" on things! HAHAHAHA. Dang I'm funny! Anyway if you see this.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALLIE! WE LOVE YOU!

Okay Alan and Robin I know that you are probably pretty busy with 2 kids now, but your blog update is probably a month overdue. How else are your friends from out of state going to check up on you?
