Baby Benjamin: 1 Week!

To follow the weekly Bump updates I thought it only fitting to continue with weekly updates following Benjamin!  We invite you to join us as we watch him grow!

Weight: 7 pounds 1 and a half ounces

Health: His jaundice is clearing up, but other than that his is perfect!  His umbilical cord feel off and his circumcision is almost completely healed!

1 week doctor check up!

Sleep: He is a great sleeper... I think  he gets that from his momma!  He is typically awake for 30 minutes or so after daytime feedings then sleeps for 1-2 hours depending, till the next feeding and at night he has been great at going back to sleep in-between each feeding... letting mama get rest!


Social: Really responds to voices and tries to find them in the room... especially his daddy!

Diet: Mama's milk!

Clothes: Newborn

Baby Gear Loves: We have only used the mamaroo a few times but he has loved it!

Crying: When he is hungry... mama needs to get faster at preparing for nursing!  I'm working on that sweet baby boy!

Likes: Loves to be held and swaddled when he sleeps in his bassinet!  And really likes bath time!


Postpartum:  I've already lost 17 pounds!  I have found myself to be super hungry these days!  Must be the breast-feeding.  But feeling better each day and more like myself and back to normal.


Milestones: His umbilical cord feel off and his circumcision is almost completely healed!  We also had our first outing after his one week dr. visit!  He was perfect!  Slept the entire time!


Extra Something Special:  This week we had his newborn photos and our fist family photos taken!  Here is a little sneak peek!  Can't wait to get these back!  I know they are going to turn out perfect!
