I am so sorry for the delay in blogging. I have started this post several times, but just get too caught up in my new man to proceed.
We are home and Ben is doing fabulous. He is such a sweet boy and I am just smitten. It is hard for me to find the motivation to get anything done around here because even when he is sleeping, I just want to sit and stare at him.
We came home on Sunday evening and celebrated Ben's welcome home with our family. It was a special night and it felt so surreal. It still does, to be quite honest. But every moment that he is in my arms, it becomes more and more clear to me that I AM A MOM!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday, we went to the pediatrician and everything looks great. We will still see the cardiologist on Friday to review the cardiac issues, but the pediatrician felt that they had already improved!
Here are a few pictures from our first days together. I promise to post more soon. Once I care a little less about staring and more about getting something accomplished :)
Love at first sight:
Our first family photo:
This is when it hit me.... He is REALLY going home with us!
Jenni-Ben is just precious! We are so happy for you guys and your sweet family!
