Tiny Moment - Sleepy Smiles
I don't care if they are gas or talking to angels, Benson's sleep smiles are my favorite!
Benson's First Bath
Someone does not like to be cold. There were a lot of tears involved in Bens's first bath. Tears when the diaper came off, tears during the bath and tears getting out of the bath. Hopefully he turns a little fish in the future. :)
All cozy and WARM again, just the way this boy likes it!

Tiny Moment - Bilirubin Retest
Today we went in for Benson's bilirubin retest. It was seriously the saddest to watch them poke and prod at my babes's heel to get enough blood for the retest :(. After finishing the test we went home and waited for the results.....which came back great!!! No light treatment for the little man.

Thanksgiving
We made it to Thanksgiving!!! With a barely 2 day old babes and all! So grateful to spend the evening with some of my favorite peeps! And it was such great night full of way too much food, baby snuggles, giggles, coloring and so much more! :)
I'm not going to lie, I feel especially grateful this year. It's so hard to not feel like I'm going to burst with gratitude when I hold our sweet baby boy Benson. He is just pure love and I can't believe he is all ours. I'm also so grateful for all my peeps (hubby, Jax, my sisters, mom, nieces, nephews, etc). They enrich my life more than I deserve. Relationships really are where it's at.
Thanksgivings from the past......
Tiny Moment - Houston, We Have A Problem!!!
Going in to having a second child, I am pretty sure I had subconscious expectations based on my experience with Jaxson. I assumed it would be the same, if not easier/better with our second......well it turns out there is a third option......harder! Our sweet Benson has his days and nights mixed up (Jax never experienced that issue) and he will not sleep anywhere but on my chest (& I HATE co-sleeping, makes me super nervous)...morning, noon and night (Jax spent his time in the port-a-crib from day one). So while I am trying to not consciously compare, in the back of my mind lies the memory of a baby that knew what night time was and went to bed directly after feedings during that time and also slept in a crib. Freakin memory....now it just acts as a slap in my tired face!!!! Good thing Bens is pretty dang cute!

Tiny Moment - Finally Home!
After a somewhat annoying afternoon we are home from the hospital!!! Turns out Benson is not a bleeder and they had to repeat his bilirubin test and it took quite a while to squeeze blood out of the poor little guy. Unfortunately he did have borderline elevated levels but we were given the go ahead to go home and retest on Friday. So now we are home resting and trying to figure out our new normal! Wish us luck!!! :)
Day After & Going Home
Today was filled with lots of baby snuggles, a few of our fav visitors and going home!!!!
