Ben's first month!!

**My computer started acting goofy, so here is some pictures and I will post more tomorrow!

I know...it's about time!  I cannot believe that Ben is already 4 weeks old.  Two days past the original due date, Benjamin Anton Winget arrived on March 10, 2012 at 9:58 pm.  He weighed 8lb 0oz and was 19 3/4 inches long.  My water broke at 3:30 am and we finally started pushing at around 4 pm.  We really did try as hard as we could and the epidural even had to be replaced.  We could see his head, but after 4 hours and the 2nd epidural running out, the doctor and I decided it was time for a c-section.  So we got wheeled in and a VERY short time later, they pulled out our little Ben.  He needed a little help breathing right when he came out, but that first sound of his cry was AMAZING!!!  Unfortunately with c-section, it was a while before I got to hold him for the first time, but that gave Ben and daddy some good bonding time.  We were in the hospital until Tuesday afternoon and those first few days were filled with huge ups and downs, but we were all able to go home with a clean bill of health!  Since then, Ben has continued to grow (too quickly!!) and is extremely healthy.  Benjamin was so incredibly wanted and we waited for so long...I still can't believe I am a mommy, but I am so lucky to be able to call Ben my son!!! 

I'll try to keep up on pictures better, but here is his first few weeks.....


Before the real labor started! 

Submitted to a c-section. :-(

First bath...he was not too happy.

Although he didn't seem to mind the hair wash too much.

Warming up after the bath.
So perfect!

Ben's first spa day...tan and manicure.  ;-)
