More pictures from Ben's first month!

Round 2 of photos!  Benjamin is a lucky little boy to have so many people in his life that love him so much!!!


Ben's first doctor appointment...daddy
dressed him in matching Bears gear!  ;-)

Justin stopped by to meet Ben!
Looking like a little old man.

We've learned that this face often
accompanies a nice poopy diaper!
Poop everywhere...ha!

Great Aunt Andi
The first night out of the house...it felt so good to get out!

Our first walk!!  Again...I slept through
the whole thing.

First time in the crib. He seemed to like it!
So balled up and still so comfortable!

Great looking artwork that I pictured in my mind and Jonnie
Meng Chou brought to life for us!!
Ben's first playdate with Shilo's son, Myles.

Ben is already playing tough guy, but Myles just laughs
at him...ha!
If you asked me a year ago, I would laugh at the person
that said this picture would be taken...I LOVE it!!!
I am one happy momma!!

Making faces at each other...ha!
Picnic at the park...fun!!

Myles let Ben borrow his bounce
seat for a while.
Getting clean hair!
It's not farts, it's a smile for mommy!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Ben got lots of kisses!

Kisses from daddy.
Such a handsome boy!

Love the face!

Found his thumb!!  Now we need to get him
to find the thumb while keeping the fingers
out of the eyes....

Able to sleep after his circumcision procedure...he was not
a happy camper!  :-(

Hey!  I lost my belly button!!
Such pretty blue eyes!

Extreme close up...haha!

I am so entertained by his plethora of faces!
Seriously mom?  MORE pictures??

Oh...life is so hard!!
Brew and Abbey are still trying to adjust to this new little thing
that makes lots of strange noises and takes all of their attention,
but they are doing great!
Snoozy boy!!
A little blurry, but such a great photo!!!

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. :-(

Ben's first picture!

So much heavier than any of the doctors or nurses predicted!

The best son in the world!

I finally get to see him!!!!

Can't stop staring.

Uncle Eric and Aunt Ivette

The first poo diaper!

Happy daddy!

Uncle J

Proud Papa
Happy Grama
Baby Lo-Jack...no one is stealing my Ben!  ;-)

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.  ;-)

Aw!

It never got easier to put him back in there!
Love this feeling!

Heading home!

Awwww!
One of the best feelings in the world!
