One Week Old!



I can't believe that my baby is already one week old!! It has flown by so fast! The first couple days were a little tough. Mom and baby were having feeding issues, but thanks to a lactation specialist we are great now (EVERYONE who has a baby should go see a lactation specialist right after birth. Nursing isn't as natural as you think it will be). Ben had a bit of jaundice after he was born so we had to put him under lights for a night, but he made it through. Now he sleeps and eats like a dream. Scott and I are still a little shell shocked about being parents. Ben caught us a little off guard by coming ten days early. But we are thrilled he is here and are loving every minute with him.

  2. wow what an angel! I wish you could take pics of my baby for me. I try to do "photo shoots" and none of them ever turn out, so I will just stick to what I do best, which is nothing special. Congrats on making it through the first week like a pro, and I am so glad you are all doing well! He really is beautiful!

  5. I totally agree about the lactation consultant. I had one come too and it was the best money spent. Also, he looks so much like Scott. Congrats! Being a mommy is the best ever!

  9. What a cute little Scott baby!!! Britta it's a good thing he came out of you, he has dad's looks so he must have his mom's sense of humor and we just can't see that in the picture.
    I'm holding out for your eyes though, come on bright blue!
