one week old


Ben is one week old today.  At his "newborn check-up" yesterday he weighed 7lbs 7oz.  That's two ounces over his birth weight and pretty great considering they like newborns to be back up to their birth weight by their two week check-up.  Ben is such a sweet little man.  He loves to be swaddled and sleeps on his back - completely different from his sister.  He hates to have his diaper changed because its cold and uncomfortable.  I see his point.  Its too bad diaper changes happen about ten times a day right now.  He obviously loves to eat and continues to sleep pretty good stretches - about 2-3 hours.  We are all tired and adjusting, but we couldn't be happier to have Ben home with us.
