Starting Fresh...Ben's Beginnings

December 7th, 2011
We welcomed Ben into our family.  All 9lbs 2oz and 20 inches of him.


I spent 3 nights in the hospital...our first 3 nights away from Jack EVER.  But he came to visit us and his new baby brother every day...





After four long days, we finally got to head home to become a family of four.



At 5 days old, we headed out to the pediatrician for Ben's first checkup.  While there, the doctor heard a heart murmur, and Mommy proceeded to have a meltdown.  Lots of tears and one short little ECHO later, we learned he had a smallish sized VSD (ventricular septal defect) that we would continue to monitor, but shouldn't require any intervention.

A few days later, we ventured out for some professional newborn pictures.  I so wish we'd done this with Jack.  We will treasure these always.
