A little blip in the life...

I admit, I was pretty nervous about jumping back into life with a baby. Before the first doctor's appointment, I realized I needed a diaper bag and threw one together in the old diaper bag. Getting 3 kids ready and out the door is more work (though with one being almost 7 and the other 4 it's not too bad) and often I just opt to stay home. That being said I am LOVING having Mr. Benjamin around. Loving this newborn phase. I was never baby hungry- I just knew I wanted more kids. Well- I am LOVING having a baby. It's so great- especially now that I'm 2 weeks post delivery. Here's a few photos from or last weeks...

 The boys- we take lots of turns holding Benjamin

 Grandma was here for over a week. A HUGE thank you to her! She took Benjamin between feedings at night for the first nights so I could nurse and get back to sleep. She watched all 3 boys during the day so I could get a nap. She played with the older 2 when I wasn't able to. She went to swimming lessons. She stayed home and watched Benjamin so I could pick up Luke from school, go to soccer parties, swimming lessons and multiple other activities. She cooked. She cleaned. We appreciate it AND we miss her. Come back any time!

Cuddling the little guy

 My own little newborn photo-op. I'm not a professional but I had fun!

 This is our friend Graham. He's 5 days older and 2 lbs. heavier. 

 The first bath. He squeaked when he went in but then was perfectly content. It helps that I know to fill the tub higher than 2 inches with more than luke-warm water. The 3rd time around really is easier.

We are all loving being a family of 5!!
