8 Days Old

I can't believe that Benjamin is already 8 days old. He is changing daily. Things are going very well. He is eating well and has figured out the whole feeding thing for the most part. I just realized that every baby is different and if 12 minutes is his max to eat, then that is his max. I am not going to get all worried that he is not getting enough because he is going to let me know when he is hungry. I can't force him to nurse. He is starting to gain weight and his little cheeks have started to fill out a little more. I am loving every minute of being a mother. I don't mind getting up to feed him in the middle of the night either. Today was the first day that I have taken a nap since he was born. Benjamin took one with me. He is sleeping really well the past few days and I am just figuring out all the little things about him. Tonight Brad and I took Benjamin over to Brad's parents house so he could meet his great grandparents. They were very excited to meet him.

Benjamin and his Gramma Joy

After going to meet his great grandparents we went to pick out our Christmas tree. Benjamin was really excited about getting his first Christmas tree as you can tell. We are really loving being parents, the experience is priceless!
