One month old...


I can't believe that in two days Benjamin will be one month old. It is gone by so fast and my love for him grows more and more each day. I can't believe how much he has changed in the past four weeks. He already is bigger and looks so different, getting more adorable by the second!! He is doing great and is so precious. Mommy and daddy are doing great too. Derek is back at work, which has been a little hard for both of us, but when he gets home at 2:30 am Benjamin is awake to eat so that has turned into a really special family time and I look forward to those late nights! Ben is doing great with sleeping in his crib. He doesn't cry at all, I know he is awake just because he is making noise so I go and get him and feed him then put him right back down and he falls right asleep! I hope that this sleeping pattern lasts becuase it has been really nice not having to put him down and let him cry himself to sleep. Ben is eating really well. He chuggs for about 20 minutes and then is in a milk coma. It is pretty hilarious. You can here him chugging from across the room! He poops a lot, after every feeding, which means about 8 times a day! We go for his one month check up on Agust 3rd, so we will keep everyone updated on that!

Oh, and August 7th is our 5 year wedding anniversary! Derek is an amazing husband and a loving father and I could not have asked God for a better man for me, he is wonderful!!!

What a wonderful update. Derek is blessed to have you also. So do you celebrate Ben's bday by the day (Tuesday) he was born or by the day of the month (30th)? Just enjoy each day and how Ben is choosing to live it out. If it changes you'll adjust. I'm so glad to see how much you are enjoying being a mama.

By the way...you are looking great (for someone who just had a baby):) No, really you look awesome.

This is Amy from TFH. Meredith and I just started up a little thing together. She's at camp this week, so we haven't gotten really rolling yet, but feel free to check us out eventually.
